Congrats, Mark & runner-ups! Can't wait for the October OWC!

Cyborn by a clear length. Well done, Mark.

Wow Mark, GREAT JOB. Best short I've ever read in my life seriously!

Congrats, Mark.

Congrats, Mark! I have no idea how you pulled that off in three pages. Masterful stuff.

Thanks to everyone who participated.


Final thing:

I'm gonna do a front page blog post with some mini-reviews of top scripts. I see Mark already has one up but I'll still do one for him.

So, if your script was "Writer's Choice" or "Writer's Also liked" shoot me a PM if you want yours included. And let me know if you have a website link you want included, or any other information you want people to see.

Well done Mark! And thanks to the other Mark and Don for a neat little challenge with a diff.

There was no doubt Cyborn was going to run away with this one - Great job, Mark!

Really enjoyed this challenge as well. Thanks for putting this one together!

Congrats, Mark!

And thanks to James for guiding this one.

HUGE congrats to Mark! That was an amazing three pages!

Thanks to James for organizing!

Thanks to those who read mine. Obviously went over better with the more mature readers than the younger ones.  ;D

Also, a reminder, anyone wanting to host one of the OWCs, just pm Don.  :)

I'd never have had you down for that one, Pia. nice work. It was one of my top picks.

Thanks all. This was the first challenge were folks worked out which script was mine, which has me a little worried I may be getting predictable or something!

Thanks to all who entered, I enjoyed reading them all. This has been great , looking forward to the next OWC.

-Mark

Congrats to Mark for Cyborn. I also had that script at my top.
Kudos to other favorites.
Nice job with the challenge, James.

I've gotta give a shout-out to my sleeper pick, Holy Roller. Very underappreciated.

Thanks for the atta-boy, Abe. Much appreciated.

Congratulations to all, some pretty good stuff for just 3 days and 3 pages, and congratulations to Mark for writing a very compelling and contained story. And congrats to Warren on the option!

Thanks, appreciate it.

Congrats to Mark and the runnerups and all! It was a fun challenge, thanks James. And big thanks to Don, as always.

Congrats to everybody! I enjoyed a lot of these scripts and kudos to Mark and Warren for their victories! Thanks goes out to the big dogs who put all this together, and I must say I'm rather pleased with the outcome of my own script. I only confused half as many people as I did with my last OWC and I even got a "best script so far" out of  Heretic. I'll see you all in Octoberfest.
