Quoted from Shelton
I didn't submit a script.  I wasn't able to finsh "Ali Baba lost his Job-ba" in time.

Please stop pseudo-guessing me.

Quoted from Heretic
James' guesses for Mike, Tyler, and Pia are the same as mine.

I actually managed to enter this one.  So far, no-one's guessed me.  Ha!


I'm going to guess you wrote Kryptonite. My second guess would be Oh Shit! but your review of that one would suggest otherwise. Then again, a few people have gotten good at leaving convincing reviews for their own scripts so I wouldn't count that one out entirely. Still, first guess would be Kryptonite.

Since I outed myself, can I go thank everyone for their reads?  I'm unsure of the proper protocol.

Don's posted the names so go for it. I can't imagine thanking people for reading your script would be frowned upon, unless, of course, that's the way you choose to out yourself.

This OWC kind of sucked for me. I got nine reads. Most were somewhat positive, but I read all 15 submitted ones.

I guess that's what I get for not writing a winner. haha

Don't mean to sound cranky, but.......

I am, obviously, not done reading the scripts, and feel terrible that it is taking so long. I've just been so busy as of late.  I hope you know that I'm good for it Pia, and will read yours soon.

No no, you're fine.  

I was just a little disappointed in general with this OWC. Like James (I think) said, there was a just lack of enthusiasm this time. I'm not sure why, but it just made the whole thing less fun.

Maybe the next one will be more energetic.

If I had played this time, I would be.

And I wouldn't make any apologies for it, either.

Just glancing over these threads, I can tell you that had I been a participant, there are at least three threads where I would go back and delete my review.

I would encourage all of you to do the same.  I know one of 'em has been here for years -- posting on his own stuff -- and has yet to read one script.  And now he's taking up space on the OWC.

Take that guy's thread down to zero, if you ask me.

I don't even need to name names.  I am sure the participants know exactly who I am talking about.


Hey, it's my tiny, little IMDb!

I'd delete my review but I assume this guy already read it and moved on. Is there any chance that he gets his name posted right away in the next OWC? Writers who use anonymity to get free reads shouldn't be able to benefit from it any more.

I'm actually not mad. Each new OWC seems to have less nonposters and nonmembers and more participating members. Looking back at, say, the Western challenge, I'd call this an improvement. Sure, there's still a leech or two here and there but the way I see it, the fewer, the better. They've always been around and they'll never go away completely no matter how hard you try but one is certainly preferable to six or seven. Besides, active members always get more reads in the end.
