Want to try your hand at script writing? Here's your chance!

You might already be familiar with  NaNoWriMo - the place where mental writers from all over the world gather to write bloody awful novels each year. For those of you who are more interested in writing scripts, here's your chance!

ScriptFrenzy is a similar challenge to NaNo, but instead of a 50k novel, you write a 100 page script. In 30 days. Does it sound impossible? I assure you it isn't. A whole bunch of people did it last year! (Okay, so I dropped out... come on, I was sick, cut me a little slack here...)

So, what sort of script can you write?

Screenplays, stage plays, TV shows, short films, comic book and graphic novel scripts, adaptations of novels---any type of script your heart desires! They just have to add up to 100 pages, and be written between April 1 and April 30.

I'm not planning to participate this year since I'll be busy enough with sgabigbang, but I really want to recommend the challenge. I had a lot of fun! Who knows, maybe some SGA-scripts will come out of it? *points at 'TV-shows' in quote above'

I really really wanted to do this, but I don't have anything to write about and I'm going to be super busy in school in April and I have never written a script in my life. But it sounds fun! I want to do it. Mostly because right now I'm kind of wisihing it would be November again and I would have to write and stop putting it off...

I vote for you giving it a try! I really enjoyed it last year before I got stuck with the evil inspiration-killing meds from hell. Script writing is easier than it sounds. And there's a plot machine on the site! How about 'After recieving bionic implants, Zorro teams up with David Bowie to save the world'?

Oh November, how I long for thee...

I can always start I guess.
That sounds hilarious, I must check out the plot machine. I really need some inspiration.

What?! You mean you can't write both a 40K novel and a 100 page screenplay?! *is horrified* ;) cep xxx

What can I say. I am a weak weak person. *hangs head in shame*
