This has been a good OWC..Learned that it's not best to start at 7pm to enter a contest that ends at 12pm (got it in at 10:30)...Was gonna skip, but the story hit me, I liked it and so on...Already working on the rewrite...
On the whole, I think they were good. Some of the formatting across the board seemed off to me, type too small, descriptions too wordy. Some were a little long, some were too short...Spelling errors are gonna happen in a rush situation, but have to watch out for words spell check is gonna miss...There vs They're...
Had some clever interpretations of the genre...Is drama a genre? I think so, though very broad in definition...Steel Magnolias isn't a comedy (although it has some comic moments) nor is Titanic an Action flick (though it did have some action)...
I liked Repetition, but my favorite by a long shot was Omelian Resolution- It was ambitious, literary and deeply symbolic, at least to me..
I'll take responsibilty for one revived dead guy that seemed like a good idea at the time.

Just curious, Don. Will the results be displayed after the big vote?

Good question, James.
Tonight, the names of the writers will be revealed. On Monday, I will shoot over to iScript.com three to five scripts. The folks at iScript.com will read the final scripts and decide which they think best to be recorded. The overall selection of those 3 to 5 scripts is a mysterious and convoluted process that involves me reading all the scripts and picking 10 of the scripts I enjoyed most. I bash that against a list of favorites from a selected group of participants (this time, I asked those folks who read and reviewed a number of the submitted scripts). I also get input from some of the moderators. I usually pare that down to five scripts. I share those five with a couple of the longtime, non-participants who have a chance to give input in the event I missed something.
Good stuff Don. Not wanting to sound like a crawler but thanks to you and everyone else for organising this. My first OWC and was a good learning experience.
No chance of a placing this time around but will do better next time.
There are no Florida voters involved in the selection process, right Don? They tend to screw things up.
I'm actually rather excited. I'm glad I participated in this OWC. Odds are that I won't be in the top 5, but that's fine. I got some good feedback on my script (my first submitted for a OWC or to SS), so it was already a positive experience for me.
Also, I'm really looking forward to the discussion once the names are revealed. Fun days ahead.

I'd rather be charged with Anime than to wear my "I Voted" sticker proudly while residing comfortably in the Sunshine State...To answer, the question- Damn straight I voted! Lots of times! Occasionally they even COUNT for something! (Just foolin with ya, pete)
