Ok — interesting to see some of the names here and it’s especially nice to see some old timers back in the fold.

Some tough calls here and need to think this through some, but here’s a couple of guesses to start:

Kham - A Typical Date. This could be Libby though. Not sure.

Dave - Five Stages of Grief

I need to ponder some of the others.

Wow, quite an all-star lineup! Like a Wrestlemania, or the cast of a Tarantino film... honored to be among you.

I'm horrible at guessing who wrote what. But I would bet Jeff's left testicle that Michael K wrote The Essentials.

I was convinced Zack wrote Virus-99 but he didn't enter.

I do believe the Five Stages of Grief and Infectious Personality were both written by the same person.

Other than that...?

I don't think I've ever correctly guessed a script.

So, to keep the streak going....

Gary for 5 Stages of Grief

Dave for Short Fuse

I, too, had Zack for Virus 99. Was dead certain. Now I'll say Mark R.

Other than that... I got nothin'.

I'm thinking Mark R wrote Potato.
Libby - maybe 5 stages

I'm curious to see who wrote Virus-99. Can it be Dave?

Hmm... hard to guess people's work. I could probably guess better off writing styles, but it's been a few days since I've read everything. But, if we're going by genre, I'll bet my middle nut that Rob Herzog wrote Midday Sun or Virus 99.

-- Michael

Luckily, I think it's a good guess on my part.

Otherwise - snip snip - going to make it an orphan

I can never guess who wrote what and I'm not betting any of my nuts on anything.  I need all five.

I would bet my left... Oh, hang on, I don't have one of those, so...  ;D

Okay, I would bet the house that Michael wrote Virus-99
And Bill wrote - I'll be seeing you.

This is how they’ll find me or Essentials  – Pia
AJR - Infectious Personality Disorder
Holly's Folly or Justice – Kham?
Five Stages Of Grief - Dave
57 percent up - Mark Renshaw

Ugh, I don't know...

That leaves a cast of other terrific writers that have me bewildered, as usual.

Sorry guys. I couldn't think of a good horror idea for this and didn't want to just throw something in. I'll try my best to get in the next one. :)

Ok, I'm taking 5 Stages away from Libby and giving it to Pia.

Lockdown - Michael K.

We Are Still Here - probably Reef

Im sticking with Dave for Virus 99



Justice is by someone new to the site who didn't leave the comments (I do know people are still reading, so it's not about that lol. I see Rob reading and commenting a lot for instance)


And thank you for A Typical Date and Our Own Good. Both are good entries, I wish I wrote them.

Wait, I disagree with myself!

We Are Still Here - Dave
Virus and Potato - both are Mark R

5 stages is still Pia

57 percent up - Gary

A Typical Date - Reef (since I took the other one away from him)

Haven't read every script. To me, Petition was dope. I need to reread the script. The last act was astonishing. Very strong. I'd bet on a female writer there. Maybe the ghostwriter team. Would make sense because it was very accurate and complex, and two persons may be the reason… truly impressed me.

Half a page of Infectious and I thought of Paul. 99 percent.

Hope you're well.

Or yes, you shouldn.'t.

Are you cool with your script?

Well, I thought and wrote it on the last day. It's nothing good but no one guessed it belongs to a nonnative which is pretty cool.

My guess is;

Dave - "Five Stages of Grief" or "Shot Fuse".

Paul - "Potato Radio" or "Virus-99"

John Staats - "The Midday Sun" or "This is How They'll Find Me"

Michael J Kospiah - "Virus -99" or "The Essentials"

I'm happy that no-one has guessed which one is mine. It means I'm not predictable- that's what I'm telling myself anyway!
