Well, spent pretty much the whole day reading the OWC entries, think I just about read all of them. It was nice to take a break from writing to actually read -- very relaxing. A lot of great talent on display, especially for scripts written on a tight deadline.

I've read the first batch and I'm very impressed with the overall quality. Having a break for the rest of the day so I don't get script reading fatigue but like what I see so far.

Also, thanks to Don for providing links to the wikis for each episode. A helpful reminder or overview if I haven't seen the episode. Much appreciated!

Well, that’s exactly 81.82% of the scripts read. Seems kind of slow considering it's an OWC… mind you, it’s still early in the week.

Oh, no no... I am. So far I’ve read and commented on 100% of 18 scripts! Lol. Just gonna take a short break, crawl under the kitchen sink, curl up into the fetal position, and cry myself to sleep. I’ll get to the last batch pending that

Think I blew my load early lol. Read and commented all of them on pretty much the first day. Can't wait to see who wrote what... will there be a "guess the writer" thread this weekend? I've only ever done one other OWC. I don't even really know which writers were involved. Again, great job by all, it can be hard putting together a story based on someone else's premise and then structuring it into something of your own within a week's time.

Done and dusted. My vote is in. Fantastic entries - congratulations to everyone that entered. No pissers or losers in the bunch. It's getting more and more challenging to win one of these blasted challenges!

Is it me or does it seem a little slow? Did multiple writers write multiple scripts? Feels like I'm seeing more comments from people who didn't submit a script than people who did. Still a few days left, though!

Think it said there were 18 writers... so that should equate to min 17 comments per script if everyone who entered comments - which invariably doesn't happen... and there's some non-entrants commenting too, so yes does seem a little slow at the mo...

You're spot on, Ant -
Quoted from Don: There were 22 scripts written by 18 Authors

Still a few days for some stragglers to add comments though. Sometimes work dictates etc.

Nice to see at least one Newb in the mix too. And getting right into reviewing.
Welcome, Bort!

This does seem like the slowest OWC I've taken part in.

I've done a quick headcount and found the following.

- 20 different people have commented on at least 1 entry.
- Of those, I suspect at least 4 did not submit an entry. (I have LC, Dreamscale, Grandma Bear and Ghostwriters on my list of reviewing but didn't enter)
- Currently, 3 of the reviewers are below the minimum of reviewing 5 entries.
- Looks like only 5 have commented on all entries so far (excluding their own)

Below is the number of entries commented on per reviewer (I've excluded names)

Reviewer 1     22
Reviewer 2     22
Reviewer 3     22
Reviewer 4     21
Reviewer 5     21
Reviewer 6     17
Reviewer 7     17
Reviewer 8     16
Reviewer 9     14
Reviewer 10     12
Reviewer 11     12
Reviewer 12     9
Reviewer 13     8
Reviewer 14     7
Reviewer 15     7
Reviewer 16     6
Reviewer 17     6
Reviewer 18     2
Reviewer 19     2
Reviewer 20     1

Hopefully, it picks up today and tomorrow a bit!

I have 4 left to review I think? I will get those done today as I have no time tomorrow!

Finished all of them. Pretty solid entries. Even better than previous OWC. Can't wait to know who wrote what.

I'm done and voted

Hard to pick a winner, to be honest, could be any of about 5/6.

Thanks to those who haven't entered but are reviewing, appreciated!

And welcome to newcomer Bort who is getting stuck in with reviews, hope you are enjoying your first OWC.

Best of luck to all
