I didn't know.

Great theme, really nice turn out and good luck to all!!

Much bigger turnout than I was expecting. Some great songs in there too

Thrilled to see such a great turnout!
Thank you, Arundel and Don.

Kham, we've missed you. Hopefully you'll  be on it for Halloween.

God, nearly Halloween!

Time to get the twenty boxes of decorations out

Fantastic turnout just like the old days! Good job, Arundel!

Really impressive turnout. Lots of titles I don't recognize. Should be fun reading.

Not complaining, but having read a handful of these I'm quite surprised how the actual song lyrics have little bearing on the written scripts other than to inspire a story that goes with a song title.

Just saying...
This was an open challenge.

I wonder if there are multiple submissions from writers.

So far the quality on display is fantastic.

Quoted from Matthew Taylor I wonder if there are multiple submissions from writers. So far the quality on display is fantastic.

My thoughts exactly on the quality!  I've only had a chance to read a handful, but wow!  What great stories/writing.  Hope to get some reviews up soon.  How fun to read everyone's take on this challenge and the variety of song titles.  

Can anyone comment on these OWC submissions, or is for members that have not submitted to the challenge?

Of course, you can comment.

Not only can you comment, but if you read enough of them you can also request a ballot so you can vote, as well.

If you have entered a script then you should deffo comment on entries if you can.

I've read a good chunk and wow, the average quality is really high. Nice work SSers.

Cool challenge that yielded a ton of variety. Makes the reading fun.

Like LC, I've enjoyed most the ones that tried to engage heavily with the tone/style/content of the source songs, even if that wasn't a direct requirement.
