Well every little guess eliminates someone else. Though, of course, someone could be lying.
EDIT: Though we could go through this entire process and at the end find out it was Sandra. The headlining story tomorrow would read that everyone participating in the Feb OWC mysteriously went into shock. Doctors are not sure if they will recover. Not that Sandra couldn't write something like Captive, it would just certainly be a shocker.
I ask this innocently: how thickly collaborative is a short? How much does the director need from the writer once he decides on the story?
If there is more work needed on a script, and for some reason the author became unavailable, could not another writer step in and help?
Shorts are just as they appear little features. So it varies. I've done multiple rewrites for directors, I've handed them off and got the finished product in return, I even had one guy bring in another writer to rewrite(screw up) my script, I've had actors change lines, and I've had screenplays shot verbatim to the script. Some are bad, some are good. I've not made a dime on any short. So, it's good practice for what you will experience with a feature.
It could be, because I told you. I guess though your brain is used for memory. Well, in your advanced age that might be tough.
You know what us old folk think when someone tells us we're old. We think about the expression on the bearers face when they become our age and someone tells them the exact same thing.

I think most people know what I had written. It's been a wonderful experience these last couple of weeks.
But yes, weird things can happen. I know from personal experience, that sometimes things can come together, where you start knowing the exact direction to take.
Some of the comments have offered me an understanding of what kind of audience I want to try and write for, the kinds of works I should study... A whole lot of things.
I'm very happy to have been able to support some top notch writers in the challenge.
I'm interested in helping the author with Lark, if they want such help.
So... should we wait for Don, or start responding to our respective scripts?
No idea. Haven't heard anything from him today and don't even know if he plans to post the names. So do anything at your own risk. However, I'm pretty sure you won't be disqualified at this point if you want to "come out". But try not to ruin any big surprises for others.
Are you sure about that, Greg? If you read the review James left for Captive, it would lead me to think otherwise. Bringing up the weaknesses in the script and then declaring it his favorite. If his intention was to throw everyone off, it worked.
