Strangely, I can't put a name to a script this round.

Other than little hints of the writer's origin (i.e. windscreen vs. windshield), it's a tough guess on who wrote which short. Regardless, each entry is very solid in it's own way - very respectable for a two day challenge. Kudos.

I have my two favorites but am going to refrain from saying so until after voting.

What good are choices if they're all bad?

Imho, don't give hints as to the writer of each script. That's like 'Guess who wrote what' before we've even had a chance to read and vote.

That said, if it's anything like the OWC, writers often deliberately misspell etc., to throw you off course. I often include some American spelling in mine.

I was going to guess that Unreliable Witness was written by Dave, PK, RJP or Warren. 100% certain


Feature-length scripts:
Who Wants to Be a Princess? (Family)
Glass House (Horror anthology)

TV pilots:
"Kord" (Fantasy)
"Mal Suerte" (Superhero)

Additional scripts are listed here.

I hope we can talk about scripts without touching the authorship and tickling the writers too much.

I find all four scripts to be strangely alike. Apart from filling the requirement they do have many things in common - they all happen to be one scene scripts. They all have four characters in the automobile at the same time (almost - Next Stop is a bit different to the others in this respect, one of the characters boarded the automobile on p2 or something)
I'd also comment on stories but I better not do it now perhaps. Maybe when the comp is over. But I do find them somewhat similar as well.

All solid entries this round. I've read all four and the writers are to be commended for what they put up in a short time. One in particular stood out for me.

It seems that there is a lack of readership and participation this round. Someone should throw up a flare to the 'regulars' in case they've missed the quick turnaround and posting.

We'll I'm of the consensus that I'd rather post comments afterwards and just vote when the time comes. I really don't want to give any clue as to my vote or unwittingly create bias. This is a different beast to the OWC. Jmh.

I wonder how many are feeling the same ...

How long in this round till the vote?
Is commenting compulsory to be eligible to vote?

I’ve read them all as well, but like others, I’ve been holding off on commenting until voting has ended because I didn’t want to unduly have any influence over other voters (not that anyone cares what I think in any event).  However, I had the same question as Libby — do we only get to vote if we’ve commented?


Some of my scripts:

Bounty (TV Pilot) -- Top 1% of discoverable screenplays on Coverfly
I'll Be Seeing You (short) - OWC winner
The Gambler (short) - OWC winner
Skip (short) - filmed
Country Road 12 (short) - filmed
The Family Man (short) - filmed
The Journeyers (feature) - optioned

It gets kinda boring when there's only one contender.

I'll await guidance from above about whether to comment before or after the voting.

I think I know why this is coming up now, but nevermind.

Except there isn’t right?  We know there’s two one on one contests going on, not just the best out of four.  So even if you think there’s one script head and shoulders above the rest, We don’t know which of the other three it’s paired against, and thus the other three are still very much in the race, and should provide an interesting vote in my typical pollyannish opinion.

Well, whoever wins the out of the other two can see how high the bar is. They've got some reaching to do in the next round.
