Script Frenzy 2013

_{Oi, poets - go see our equally awesome article on NaPoWriMo 2013.}

If you haven't realised yet, it's near the end of March.
Some of our scriptwriters and playwrights know what's coming up soon.
Some of you are about to find out.

And INB4 some of you sling Eliot at me, yes, "April is the cruellest month."


It's thirty days of April. It's one hundred pages worth of script. Screenplays, stage plays, web series, TV shows, short films, and graphic novels, and more - all welcome! You can get a winner's certificate and a web icon if you make it!

From the website:

Script Frenzy is an international writing event in which participants take on the challenge 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 [...] Even those who fall short of the page 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.

You can collaborate, or you can lone wolf the hell out of your script. If you have an old script, edit and crank out 100 pages for it! If you have two or more scripts, get a 100 pages total out of them! If you have no script, start outlining and write a 100 pages for it! Want to write a ton of short scripts? Go for it! Get those 100 pages in total, in any creative manner you prefer. Beginner to screenwriting? Don't sweat it: we have a ton of resources. Accomplished pro at screenwriting? Comment below with resources and tips!

Most importantly: have fun, and good luck.

"I loved Script Frenzy because I was so out of my comfort zone. Anyone looking for a challenge should definitely take the time and participate! It's a wonderful community, and, even though Script Frenzy will drive you mad at some point, I guarantee you'll be so proud of yourself once you've completed your goal!"
