So, as you lot will know by now, I’m taking part in script frenzy this year. Some changes have been made from last year.
The big one (apart from the move in month) is that each script has to be 100 pages (or multiple scripts totaling 100 pages) rather than 20,000 words. I like this one, as last year I had to add a lot of padding to get my script up to the word count (as anyone who has read the script will be able to guess).
The other one is the type of script you can write. Last year it had to be a film. This year however:
4) 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.
Fair enough on the most part. I’m going to use it as a chance to finally get moving on the Fucked Up Crime Series.
My problem is with this:
adaptations of novels
I don’t think that’s particularly fair, really. I go to all the trouble to come up with something new, characters, world, etc., and someone else has the chance to get over the word count by picking a book of the bookshelf and adapting that.
Yes, I am well aware that adapting a book is harder than just lifting from the book and placing in the right format, but I thought that the idea of Script Frenzy was to encourage creativity. This seems like the opposite.
Sorry, that bit just flat out annoyed me.

*EDIT*
I’ve decided to go for this. Wish me luck.

So, you know I was rantng above about the adaptation part of script frenzy? Well, it turns out that because of that rule, you can work on scripts you’ve already started.
I’m going to leave a message on the board asking if their page count will be 100 pages plus what has already been written or 100 pages including what’s been written as if it’s the latter it’s not really fair on the rest of us.
