You don't include A Beautiful Day in your top eight???
I did give Weather Worn 3 stars, but for me, it was not memorable or even believable, but I had to include it, since that's how I scored it when I read it.
A Beautiful Day was on the verge of 3 stars, but the writing, the non existent story, and the cruel ending brought it down to 2 stars. I could easily have given it 3 stars, though.
In reading feedback, I do believe it will be a top 3 placer, though.

Ha! I have found Dreamscale’s hatred for this script everything from frustrating to amusing to confusing. He admits it’s a good script but maintains it’s awful. But what the hey. Luckily we’re all talking about stories and everyone can love or hate them or even change their mind. No rules in imagination land hoorah!

It's not an awful script in any way. It's just not what everyone thinks it is...IMO, of course.
I only voted for ones that had the weather impacting the story in a big way
Weather Worn, the mozzie one, the duck one and I think there was one other. That was my critique on the criteria and I stuck with it
Weak, bro. Very weak!
Some of these took the weather angle to mean it had to be set in the future, in a dystopian world where water/heat/whatever isn't what it is today. This is not what the challenge was after.
You should vote on every script you read, as well as give the writer your feedback.

Bad luck brother! I still reviewed the ones I read. If I liked the script I said so! If I feel they didn’t meet the requirements in my eyes I said so. Some great scripts didn’t get any votes cos of that; I simply marked them as DQ’d. That was my take on it and stiffus shittus if you don’t agree
If you get a dq'd put against your script it doesn't effect your final score anyway, does it? Essentially it's just spoiling your vote for that particular script and won't register as anything.
Not sure if I'm right in saying that, maybe there's some kind of super computer somewhere that works all this out

As soon as the writers are revealed, I'm gonna argue my case that my script did in fact meet the requirements of the Heat stipulation.
I don’t know why but this OWC seemed to have thrown up the most divisive set of opinions, not on the scripts themselves, but on whether they complied.
I for one didn’t catch on to that enough. Shame as I really tried to be in tune with the theme, but I just picked up the wrong one. But hey, my scripts had issues anyway, I just hoped they would be judged on that alone. I suppose I thought we would see more summer orientated scripts.
But Nice to write again. I may even try again.
Dialogue free was a good idea, as was the page limit. I wouldn’t repeat it often, but good to try.
Catch up in October...unless the writing bug returns

Agree 100%!!!! I tried to, and I honestly believed that as Pia mentioned "Summer heat", and that much of the world was going through either excessive heat or cold, using an area with 1 of the 2, based on where I lived, would suffice.
Sad that some took this so harshly...and I just gotta say to my friend and brother, Mr. Aussie "Arsie" himself (whose script I actually championed (as he PM'd me after I posted on it), that based on his own decision to DQ scripts, his own would be DQ'd, as it was neither "hot" or "cold".
We all cool though, and I do want to say 1 more thing...
I can't put into words how thankful I am for this site and the yeoman's job that The Don has done year in, year out, for so many years. There's truly no place like this, anywhere, and all of the SS'ers who make this work, the good, the bad, and the very ugly, I salute you and appreciate you all for what you bring.
Hey I hear you buddy. I just think that the scripts that tried to go further with the heat thing and actually have the weather interact with the story - and keep it non dialogue- were more inventive and lifted them above the others in creativity for me.
In all of the scripts I didn’t rate, the heat or cold had no impact on the story and they could’ve been any shorts in the public section that Don puts up. Except for the non dialogue which quite a few ‘cheated’ on anyway.
And I second your shoutout to Don and Pia! Legends!!!
