Quoted from Dreamscale Riddle me this, Penguin...how can "Water's Edge", which was admittedly not written for this OWC, get a vote? WT.....????????????? C'mon now, peeps...let's be real...

You make me smile, Jeff. So funny. Well, we'll just be nice about it. You brainiac, you. The guy who skis those beloved mountain slopes-- should've been an actor, but he wound up here...



A reason for everything, right?

Sandra

So, is the list of writers going to be revealed today or are we waiting for all the votes to be tallied?

Them that's Dead got one of my votes.   Loved the dialogue and that spirit funneling scene.  Also, at no point did any of the pirates say, "Arrgh."  That was the clincher for me.

AARRGHHHHHHH!!!

AYE MATIEEEEE!!

Agreed!!!!

I second the little angry man above. When is this thing over?

Is that a hint???

Quoted from Grandma Bear Is that a hint???

Just remember I didn't say it.

I will wait for the name reveal to do anymore reads. I know I've read better then half. Anyone who read mine and I didn't already return the favor, I shall remedy that when the opportunity presents itself.

Finished all of them.  Good job everyone.  I have to go back and look to see which ones I thought were top notch and then I'll submit a vote.  If I happened to miss yours for whatever reason, then send me a message and I'll check it out.

I think I have read and commented on all of them at this stage.

If I've missed one, please let me know.

Outstanding effort all round...lots of interesting stories. As one would expect in such a ridiculously short time most aren't perfect, but I honestly think all of them have the potential to be developed into something superior.

The general level of story-telling was very high. Much more original and interesting than the vast majority of horror films that I see and I love horror.

It's been a full week. Thee lady has not sung; she was last seen on some reality show and is fat no more...can we unmask now?

Will we (re) read the revised re-writes?

I might. I did fix up one of my two.

Do you think I should make my selection whilst it's still anonymous...thus preventing any arguments about favouritism?

I think that would be wise...


@Darren...I'll definitely be reading re-writes. Think there are some potential stars in the show.

I am simply A M A Z E D at how fast these have received as many reviews as they have.

It took three weeks to burn through just as many OCT OWC screenplays.

Maybe it was the criteria pool variety for this OWC that abated burn-out?

I'm game for both rewrites and round two utilizing Rick's perspectives from his level headed comments and passionate peer comments.
Those can nudge product into a more well-defined "interest field".

I think rewrites were essential for any of these to really work. I'm not talking about fixing fade in's and slug lines, or poorly worded action. I'm talking about story flaws. All of them. No exception. My extremely amateur opinion.

That said, a lot of great writing, also evidence of real creative thinking and unique concepts. I will absolutely read the rewrites, and am really eagerly looking forward to how some of the "just misses" come up with solutions.

Not a bad idea Rick.
