Having a typo in an insulting post is never a good thing.

Quoted from Warren
For 30 scripts it seems to be all the same people commenting, be great to have a challenge where every script gets 29 reviews.

Come on people, do your part.


Concur!

Totally concur...the usual suspects read and comment, the others do nothing.

I had a busy weekend, including alot of cleaning and organizing around the house, then the AZ State Fair yesterday.  Somehow, I've already gotten through 19 scripts -

- now, there are those who will say I'm not reading the scripts in their entirety, but I'm reading as much as I need to, to know when a script is terrible, and when a script deserves to be completely read.

Sadly, out of 19,  I have 8 scores of ZERO and 4 scores of ONE.  That's not good.

So far, the worst batch of OWC scripts I can recall in a long time.

When you rate these scrips, what does the scale that you're scoring from look like? You said you gave zero's and a one...are you grading these as if they're fully polished material?

You gave me a score of "none," by the way...which is fine, I really don't care.

From the many breadcrumbs you have dropped I pretty much know which script is yours and here is another breadcrumb. It's anonymous challenge - stop with the hints.

My apologies will be sent if I have picked the wrong script for you.

Huh? I'm not deliberately hinting at anything. He's given a few scripts "no score."

I also didn't comment on every script except my own, so there shouldn't be any hints.

It looks like ZERO to 5 stars.  I'm grading these based on how they meet the challenge, how well written they are, how readable they are, and how good they are.

That would be a ZERO, then.  ZERO stars are usually given to scripts I don't finish.  If I get through the entire script, but it's terrible, it usually will get 1 star.

Gotcha, just curious about that.

From your posts I know (assuming that they were true)

- Your scrips is 8 pages long.
- It is a drama
- The Phobia is obscure
- The name of the phobia is not mentioned.
- The nature of the phobia is not clarified until the end
- Rest in peace is the last line of dialogue but some action follows afterwards

That was before the scripts were posted. Now I know.

- It got mostly good feedback
- Jeff gave it a rating of ****

Those are the breadcrumbs I was mentioning. If they are not intentional - fine - but stop.

If I have your script wrong I will apologize after they are posted.

Well maybe now you can redact this post? Having these things consolidated would almost certainly give away which I wrote.

Through 24 and am going to take a break for a bit.

My overall observations are:

- Many more scripts this go around with basic formatting and grammar issues. Normally, I don't bother and sail through these as I expect more than average given the parameter of the week. But there were several scripts with so many issues in this regard it took me out of the read - out of the story. Maybe more newbies - which I think at the end is a good thing. I don't know, just a lot of basic errors in the lot.

- Some problem with genre selection. A lot of horror where the phobia just made sense based on the horror experienced (i.e, the fear seemed rational).

I believe he misinterpreted ***** to be none. I'll let him say otherwise - It is just an assumption on my part.

The consolidation is not what gave it away. That was merely a response to the "huh?"

Whomever - my posts can be deleted if you think they are out lf line - no offense taken.
