I didn't enjoy any of the scripts in this OWC, to be perfectly honest.
The quality of the writing was almost universally high, but none of the scripts worked for me. It would be a Pass on all.
I've felt like an absolute Grinch during this OWC. Almost every review has been the same. There's only one script I came across that worked at all...and that's only because it stuck religiously to the original urban legend.
In choosing my topic, I'd already read all the legends. Reading them again, just extended and often weakened, wasn't much fun. The challenge was a good one, but it essentially encouraged everyone to merely plagiarise already existing tales. All the decent stuff came from the quality of the legends. All the additions failed, imho.
Whilst I agree you have been miserable I actually I do agree in part. Having read some of the Urban Legands, when one popped up that was close to the original I felt under whelmed. Know it already etc which is a tad unfair.
But then again we're meant to be writing something new, a new angle, new twist, so something close to the original would be considered less than a new take.

I'm on a contrary thinking it's one of the strongest OWC's. I read only 9 I think. So far 2 recommends, maybe more, but two for sure and like 5 considers.
I think all 9 should be rewrote, more or less but still very strong work.
I don't even want to read any further - you guys put me to shame with your work.

I agree with Rick that the quality this OWC is very low...in terms of writing and story.
I've got about 5 more to go. I actually really liked one. I thought one was decent to pretty good. And another two were borderline OK. The rest? Very poor, IMO.
I know I've pissed some peeps off, and I apologize, as I always do. If there's nothing to be taekn from my feedback, please, disregard completely.
Guys, there are three I didn't come up with. If you want, you guys can figure out all the rest. The first one to get them all wins a Sutter Cane lunchbox. Lol. =)
