Screnzy?
I speak of Script Frenzy, of course! It's a challenge from the NaNoWriMo folks (The Office of Letters and Light) that entails writing a hundred-page script (or several totally one hundred pages) in April.
I'm tempted. I've never written a script longer than two or three pages. I've never written a decent to good script at all. But several years ago I had an idea for a superhero-type show (the same one that evolved into high fantasy-slash-somethin-or-other that I mentioned before). And I'm crazy.
I had had this great plan to read a bunch of TV scripts as research, but I'm not going to have much opportunity to do so before April, because once the quarter ended I went to see my parents, and then I'm going to the crepes thing, and then the next day I'll be on a train to Oregon and I'll spend most of what's left of break there. It'll be great.
As it is, I managed to dig up some Power Rangers scripts and read two (terrible). I also read the script for the never-made last episode of the Dungeons and Dragons cartoon (never liked the cartoon, but the script was pretty gripping) and I read part of the script for the Doctor Who episode Smith and Jones (in which Martha and the Doctor meet for the first time), which was rather good. So basically I feel unprepared, but I have an idea and Celtx on my computer, so we'll see how it goes. Just have to sign up, I suppose.
