Agreed. The OWC was for horror shorts, not horrific shorts.

How do we find out which 5 scripts are assigned to us?

I came to ask the same question as Nomad. I'm probably going to read them all but it's be nice to know which ones I should write extensive reviews for.

Yeah, and I'm waiting for all the links to be fixed before I start.  I'll probably just start at the top and work my way down.  37 entries (I think) is a lot to get through.
