Somewhat after the fact, but...
I participated in Script Frenzy this year and met the 100 page challenge.
I got started late. Had some exams and term papers due the first week of April and consequently didn't even start to think about Screnzy until the 4th or 5th of the month. At that point, I had no plans for a story of my own that I wished to tell in script format, so I mapped out a Babylon 5 fanfic that I'd been wanting to write for a number of years.
My story is large cast and involves a number of crowd scenes as well as some large and involved sets which just wouldn't work shot on bare sound stages in front of a green screen. In short: considering the no-expenses-spared budget the B5 powers that be afforded The Lost Tales, there's not even a pipe dream of ever seeing my story on screen. But I had fun writing it, and it was good to stretch my writing muscles by playing in a different medium for a while.
The six-pack slog.
About Me
- Laura Rainbow Dragon
- One night I had a dream. I dreamt that I was a magnificent Rainbow Dragon. Many people were afraid of me and they ran away and hid whenever I came near. This saddened me greatly, but I could not force the people to give up their fear. Whenever I approached them, they assumed that I meant to devour them, and they grew even more afraid. One day, a woman gathered up enough courage to come and stand before me and look into my eyes. When she did this, she saw that my eyes held no malice - only her own reflection. She saw that she too possessed the strength, the power, and the beauty of the Dragon. The woman no longer feared the Dragon. She went on to live her life as a testament to her own truth and light, no longer a slave to fear, and she became the Rainbow Dragon for many others who came after her.

I wouldn't mind trying to do a script sometime, but my knowledge of how scripts are written is soooooo minimal, I'd end up spinning my wheels. Kudos to you for not only trying it, but winning :D
Thanks Julie.
