I had a feeling that Mike wrote Baxter's Wish...but I didn't want to say anything...
Yep, it was me. In response to your question about the time passage for Baxter to rot away, it was a year. There's no ONE YEAR LATER flag in the slug, but in a piece of dialogue Baxter says there would be a full pumpkin patch in the back yard a year from then.

At least that's how I interpreted it.
Pia
You're absolutely right Pia Hopefully most would have received that email
Oh shit, we were supposed to vote, that's right. And we could only vote among the three scripts we were 'officially' given to review, right?
I checked my deleted messages and sure enough, we had to tell Don what our three favourites were, but we weren't given three official scripts to review.
I doubled checked and sure enough we were going to be given three to review, but I never received any email telling me what my three were; if I did I can't find it.
Anyway, whatever. Whoever wins will be worthy I'm sure.
I hope I didn't screw anything up, but I never got any e-mail at all...
Yes, Tyler, you completely screwed up the entire OWC this go round. It is utterly ruined. It is irredeemably ruined. Because of your inaction, somewhere an angel is NOT going to get his wings.
