Congrats Paul! Cold Blood was my top pick, a well deserved win.

And congrats to the runners up, all good entries. I had The Vampire Affair and Sickening Desires as among my top picks as well, the other two a little lower down.

I also had Can't You Hear It and For The Love Of Satan high up on my list, though I'm not surprised they didn't do as well. I think they're excellent scripts that could be tremendous with a little more work.

Well done Paul you legend!

And well done to the those who placed, top work. Some strong writers around here.

Reading the entries was fun, illuminating, frustrating, entertaining and inspiring. Well done all.

And congrats to Steven for running a smooth OWC

YEOWEEEE....(note- I must remember which script that came from)

Wow, I’m stunned.

Well done Paul, great effort.

And also , Praneel,   marnie (especially, well done you) and Zack.

It is an honour, free of charge for those who miss that factor, to take part. Thanks Don and Steven.

My fav, for its bonkers approach, was For the Love of Satan. Flawed, but great potential.well done, Alex. Hope you can fine tune this.

Nicely done Paul! You're on a roll as you've been winning and placing well in the last couple OWCs and 2019 tourney. Cold Blood was top notch.

Great work from Praneel, Marnie and Zack, too. Kudos!

A special shout out to Rene - terrific action writing in Devil's Night Massacre.
And, great job to 'Kevin Bacon' .

I wasn't going to take part, but then it seemed like there were only going to be a few entries to read so I wrote something on the day of submission. When the scripts were released and there were 20 I just couldn't commit to reading over 200 pages so I asked Don to pull it.

A mixture of having a bit on my plate at the moment and pure laziness :p

I did read a couple, one of them being Paul's and knowing his writing, the best one came out on top.

I might submit it a bit later, but no one missed out on anything spectacular. It was below average at best.

Whew! That's one gruesome crazy tale, Warren. Shades of Rosemary's Baby with an R-rating.

Oh did it get posted?

I planned on changing a fair few things, but if Don's put it up then that would be the original.

Wow. I’m shocked. There were some real strong entries. I honestly thought I’d finish around fourth.

Thanks for all the congratulatory messages.

Also, thanks to all the readers. I got some great notes and I’m excited to implement many of them.

First I have to decide: cut it to 8 pages or expand it to around 20.

I’m out right now, but I’ll come back later and give a few shout outs to my faves. There were 3 that really stood out to me.

Thanks again everyone!

Congratulations Paul! Cold Blood was excellent.

Sickening Desires and The Art of War were other favorites of mine. Congratulations to all the runners up and rest of the writers too. Everyone did a pretty amazing job.

Congratulation to the winner and the runners up!

Thanks Steve for putting on a great OWC!

A little lower participation than expected, but I think that has more to do with the boards being slower in general. Which is kind of sad, but I guess that's just how it goes.

I’ve actually thought about this a little, wondering if it was the criteria I supplied, the slower boards, people’s individual time restrictions, etc. I guess I was expecting 25-30 entries. You’re not going to be able to please everyone - I realized that long ago.

But one reason (excuse) stands out - I think I might have done it too early.

The error is mine.  Warren asked that it be pulled.  I didn't want to delete it from the new google spreadsheet I created for scoring.  I figured that I'd just remove it before posting, which I clearly didn't do.

Apologies. I will put it up with regular submissions.

I had 3 tied at the top:

Sickening Desires
For the Love of Satan
The Vampire Affair

Several were grouped just below those... but, those jumped out at me.

My favorite title, by far, is The Frequency of Fear. I just love that title.

I am totally cool with the lower volume.  The site ebbs and flows and I'm cool with that.  I think that the quality of the scripts submitted have been consistently higher. Also, I'm wondering if the newer writers are intimidated going head to head with the upper echelon of writers.

Hey Don - It might be cool to hold a OWC that's only open to members that have been on SS for one year or less. Call it a 'Newbie OWC'.
