All read and voted

A lot of great entries.

Peeps getting fancy with their title pages, and I'm just happy to get a script in

Fuck You, Michael Vick! Why do I get a feeling I’ve seen this before. Wasn’t there another OWC that had Vick in its title or is it just me??

Good memory, Steve! A little research tells me this appears to be a condensed version of a script that has been posted (under the same title) previously on SS and SR.

The original was a Feature length script.

Hmm…

Oh, so that's not a new script then?

Ant, nope it doesn't appear to be.

Quoted from ColinS My typical luck that I had just finished my feedback for "Fuck You, Michael Vick!" and the thread gets suspended. Not to worry, got it saved down if anything changes.

Yep, will leave it to Don and Zack to adjudicate on this.

No worries.

The link to where that script was moved doesn’t work by the way.

Ok, wait… a script was pulled because it was previously posted years ago as a feature, but whittled down to fit this OWC?

Oh oh. I’m not gonna say which script is mine but I did originally have a 12-page script that I condensed into a smaller version for this OWC. Thing is, the original was written around 2016/17, and I honestly can’t remember if I posted it or not back then, when I did a search for the title (previous to the OWC) I couldn’t find it on this site, so I assumed I never got around to posting it. I have several original works over the past 15 years or so in my screenplay folder on my PC and do not have the foggiest of every single script that I previously posted as finished works or not.

So, that being said, if someone recalls another title in this OWC that ‘rings’ as something you might have remembered as a previous post, then please PM me, I wanna play fair after all… thanks.
