Finally got through all of them. Nice work everybody.  The quality was generally good but there was subjectively a lack of comedy and objectively lots of prostitutes.  

In my opinion this was a difficult OWE and it would be good to go back to the genre/theme type requirements.

Okay, I think I've read them all now. Got to double check, but I'm pretty sure.

This was by far the most quiet OWC that I can remember. No buzz, no nothing and no guessing? I think that dragged the mood down a little...

As far as guessing goes, I have no idea who wrote what. I have a feeling there were some new people participating.

Anyway, good job everyone.

I think I'm still missing one or two reads, but I'll get around to it today methinks.

So when are the true identities of the participants revealed?

I agree with Pia. The lack of enthusiasm this time around was a little disconcerting. Eh, I guess it's because the whole thing has become kind of a regular occurrence around here. Oh well. I still enjoy it. As for guessing, I'm keeping my thoughts to myself this time around. I honestly have little idea who wrote what. Mike's is the only one that I'm 100% on. His script is about as obvious as one of Helio's (unless someone's impersonating him, haha). I'd hate to be wrong about that one. I have my suspicions which scripts Pia, Sean, and Spencer (if he participated) wrote but other than that I have no idea.

My scripts always seem to get tagged right away, except in the Western challenge.  I don't think anybody guessed that one.  What makes it so obvious?

Hey James just if they were written by Bob Benton, Will Goldman, David Mamet or Terry Rossio, otherwise what you said don't reveals the truth, dude!

If you're thinking about that "Axeing the Zombie" script, guess again. I'll give everyone a hint...And a pretty big one, too...

Out of two scripts there commented as "not funny" in most of the comments, mine was one of the two. Now go search, it won't be too hard.

And if this isn't the time to be giving hints, well, it might as well be. It's all ready been a week since the OWC scripts were put up.

Mine was one of the least read, I think.  

Oh well, it was my first attempt at comedy. Probably my last too.

Hmmm.  15 scripts, only 3 of which actually hit the 14 post mark.  Interesting.


Be excellent to each other

Damnit I'm still missing two but I can't remember which ones. Now I have to check all the treads.


And if we're supposed to leave hints I might as well join in: Mine had distracting format errors.

Usually, it's your style that people pick up on but it was different this time around. The story itself, I recognized as yours and the title sounded like one of yours. I think saying anymore would give you away.

I meant unless someone is impersonating Mike. I'll keep those names in mind for next time though, haha.

I actually wasn't thinking Axeing The Zombie although the one I thought was yours, I did think is funny and so did a lot of other people so I guess I'm wrong.

Wrong again.

I haven't gotten through all of them yet either. I will though.
Everyone probably knows which one was mine, too.
Some liked it, some didn't.
