Script Frenzy 2010

[Abras]

Script Frenzy (http://www.scriptfrenzy.org/), an informal challenge to "write 100 pages of original scripted material in the 30 days of April, (screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, and graphic novels are all welcome)," is right around the bend. Anyone planning to participate?

I participated in National Novel Writing Month (or NaNoWriMo) for the first time last November; Script Frenzy is run by the same crew. It recently occurred to me, "Hey, I'm not doing anything special in April, so might as well try my hand at writing a 'screenplay.'" Well actually, my friends and I have had this idea of a sketch (comedy) show rattling amongst ourselves. We cam up with some funny ideas but of course no one took the initiative to actually write some scripts.

What about you? Any concrete plans about what you're going to write for Script Frenzy? Have you had a plan rattling around up there that you hope to finally bring to fruition? Or, is this your first time hearing of it?

For many participants, I imagine, this competition will be their first attempt at writing a script -- at least it is for me. I am completely ignorant of proper formating and techniques. Just remember, Abras, "Fade out" means go grab a hot dog.

Looking forward to hearing from you...

I have about fifty pages of a war movie script that I wrote about a year back, so I guess I could go back and revise it, then complete it for Script Frenzy.

I have a good idea for a business. You know how everybody is writing novels and stuff nowadays? And their always procrastinating? What if we came up with a site that gave them a deadline to finish? We could choose a winner and put their name on the site, that should be motivation enough for them and we might find a good (uncopyrighted) idea in there somewhere.
But what about money? We need money to run a site like that.
...Hmm, oh, I've got it. We'll accept donations. People will feel so good about us for letting them have an avenue for their creativity that they'll be begging to send us money.
How are they going to know about us?
Oh that's easy, we can go to literature sites and stuff. You know, post on the forums pretending like we are really excited about entering this new contest that we just heard about.
Haha. This will be fun.
