Ever had an idea for a TV show or a movie that you thought could bring you fame and fortune? Ever write a fan fiction and thought, that would make a great action drama! Well here is your chance to release the inner playwright that is hidden inside you! Check out Script Frenzy!


Quote

Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which
participants attempt the daring feat of writing 100 pages of scripted
material in the month of April. As part of a donation-funded nonprofit,
Script Frenzy charges no fee to participate; there are also no valuable
prizes awarded or "best" scripts singled out. Every writer who
completes the goal of 100 pages is victorious and awe-inspiring and
will receive a handsome Script Frenzy Winner's Certificate and web icon
proclaiming this fact.
Even those who fall short of the word goal will be applauded for
making a heroic attempt. Really, you have nothing to lose—except that
nagging feeling that there's a script inside you that may never get
out.

The 5 Basic Rules of Script Frenzy
  • To be crowned an official Script Frenzy winner, you must write a
    script (or multiple scripts) of at least 100 total pages and verify
    this tally on ScriptFrenzy.org.
  • You may write individually or in teams of two. Writer teams will
    have a 100-page total goal for their co-written script or scripts.
  • Script writing may begin no earlier than 12:00:01 AM on April 1
    and must cease no later than 11:59:59 PM on April 30, local time.
  • You may write screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films,
    comic book and graphic novel scripts, adaptations of novels, or any
    other type of script your heart desires.
  • You must, at some point, have ridiculous amounts of fun.


Done by the same people who brought you National Novel Writing Month - NaNoWriMo - their website has an in incredible number of resources that can help you, including a programme for young (k-12) writers!

This actually sounds like it will fit in with an idea I had to write an audio drama script! The House of L'Stok will be contributing something for this! I throw down the gauntlet to you! Try to match the glory of L'Stok if you dare!

MWAHAHAHA! :argh:

Signed up for Script Frenzy last night. 30 days - 100 pages - April!

It will slow my other work down - my writing on Fan Productions, etc - but at the end of it I am hoping to have 5-6 x 18 page scripts that will make up a Star Trek audio drama mini-series that The House of L'Stok will be producing over 2008/9.

If I release them at two-monthly intervals that should have the last one released about this time next year. By this time I will have a production group together that will have the skills and talents required to get audio drama ep's out on a regular basis. This will be accomplished by acquiring the services of talented fans and budding professionals who want to accomplish something.

Who knows? Perhaps next year I might be writing scripts for machinima in Script Frenzy?

Cheers

Alan

Thanks! :P

One of the best things is that there are a lot of Aussies , Sydneysiders, who are doing it too so it'll be good to do a bit of networking, meeting other writers.
