Well, here they are, gang! Thanks, Don, for posting them so quickly.

Very pleased with the turnout. 10 scripts for your reading pleasure. Not sure, but I hope the extra couple days were beneficial to some. I’m heading out to Myrtle Beach this week, but I’ll be checking in daily to read and keep up on the boards. Actually, call me crazy, but I timed it this way. Don’t ask. Or ask.

Remember, be respectful and constructive. These things ain’t easy to write.

Have at it!

Steve

That's my reading for this evening sorted out!

I’m hoping to get most of these read soon. I’ve been locked in the hospital for days (no, not on a mental hold LOL - I work here). Anyway should have some free time soon to enjoy these and comment. Looking forward to some great shorts!

Well I haven't written anything in quite a while and it shows in my entry. Glad to have at least finished something, even entered with 15 minutes to spare.  :P

Great to see you, Marnie! :)

Hi Libby!! Nice to see you too! And Pia, Anthony, Don, Steve, everyone!!  :)

Definitely good to see some familiar names back on the boards. You never know who’s gonna show up when an OWC hits.

Yes, they come out of the woodwork for those, lol! That's great. I did not submit anything though. Just reading and hoping I'm paying back some writers that have read my scripts.  :)

Voted! Good luck to everyone!

Thanks, Yuvraj!

Again, those who read them all but didn’t enter can request a voting ballot from either me or Don.

That's me reviewed em all and voted!

Another enjoyable OWC.

And hi Marnie!

The deadline was pushed till Sunday, so I'm assuming the votes are due by this Sunday?

OK, update... I just saw Don's email asking if votes could be in by Friday, so kindly disregard.

Yeah I was thinking that myself, seeing as I was late with the reveal, but I serve at the foot of the Don. Besides, everyone seems to be doing a good job of reading and reviewing so I’m thinking we’re probably a go for Friday votes due and a Saturday reveal.

I can wait until Sunday.  Or, once I get all the Writers' votes together.  Either works.  I serve Steve.  Whatever he wants. ..

- Don

Quoted from SAC … I serve at the foot of the Don.

I thought I was confused before, but… but now I don’t know what the hell is going on!

Read them all and voted. They were all entertaining in their own way, but for me there was one very clear standout.  ;D

Don’t threaten me with a good time!

But seriously, if there’s a need for extra time I suggest you shoot with me or Don an email saying so, that way we can figure out if more time is needed. Thanks!

A lot of good entries, some great peeps. We debated long and hard over the last two days on how to score some of 'em. In the end, we had to be fair.

All the best,

Reg

Hey all,

Please bear with me, I’m tallying the scores now and should have results up shortly.

Little teaser here… There is a tie for the top spot!
