Wow, up super quick!

Thanks Don!

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Wow, up super quick! Thanks Don

Thank God, you're here, Ant! With the time difference I've been reviewing all on my lonesome.

Lol, I'm gonna do a couple now and then some chores to get to, but a nice manageable 11 so should get them all done today!

I've just started reading, but I've noticed that at least a couple of the scripts have the writer's real name listed vs. an OWC pen name.  Not that I won't enjoy them and read without prejudice, that's just not the normal OWC rule. Don?  

I think there's a couple of newbies, which is great, but who aren't sure of the way the OWC works... I've just skipped by the cover sheet for them

Great turnout! I've started reading and will have feedback posted by Tuesday.

Thanks for withdrawing my entry. I'm now done with this challenge.

Quoted from Shakespeare on Toast Thanks for withdrawing my entry. I'm now done with this challenge.

That's a shame. I liked your entry, John.

Quoted from kcranford ...I've noticed that at least a couple of the scripts have the writer's real name listed vs. an OWC pen name.

One of those may have been mine. I wrote and submitted my entry in the final hour only to realize at the last second I was a page short of the requirements -- I wrote a one-pager -- so I canceled my submission and then posted the story out-of-competition (so to speak) in the thread, just for fun.

However, in the flurry of contest activity it looks as if Don thought I'd messed up my submission somehow -- no surprise in my case -- and restored it to the list, at least for a little while.

My original entry included a fake name, but I dropped that after I withdrew from the contest and then added the story's direct link to the thread. The linked version includes my "real" name, unlike the one I earlier entered in the contest.

Just fyi.

You should've just asked Don to remove the cover page. There was nothing wrong with the script.

There was no rule stating you couldn't write a one pager.  

Quoted from Zack There was no rule stating you couldn't write a one pager.

OWC rules state "2-6 pages".

Not the normal rule, but some writers prefer not to be anonymous which I respect.  Some folks enter just to see if they can pull off a descent script in a week, which is why it is a challenge and not a contest.  Also, sometimes writers forget. It's a free challenge where all you have to do is read a few scripts to enter.

best,

Don

Anonymous is also a 'rule'. I'm flexible and try to be accommodating to writers.  It's a free challenge
