You should count as joy any day you wake up laughing. I've just gotten started with the reads, but these are great! So far, I'm calling this the best round yet! Who knew we had so many comedic talents here? I'll start posting reviews soon, but just want to enjoy all the fun reads for now. Thanks Zach for this fun wrap up to the tournament!

Haha, this was a fun round. I finish all, couldn't get enough of it. Some very funny entries, actually all of them made an impact. One is truly brilliant, my absolute favorite of the challenge.
Nice, Zack. And, thanks to Don again for putting all of this together.
Zack or Don, can we get an updated list with writers who entered the bonus round?
Oh, they are not giving us a list! As a team Estrogen we can figure it out ourselves. It’s 11 entries. Let’s see: Drongo Bum Bill John Kathy Libby Khamanna Anthony Rene Paul Erik (Missing 1)
This took some effort and is nicely weaved - well done.
Whoops - wrong location. Alas I wasn’t in a cocktail at the time. Will track done the right thread.
My scripts - links to be updated.

I didn’t rate the scripts a while reading and with most of the characters being the same it’s one collective entry in my head now. Do I need to read them again?
