Damn I wish this had been done a year ago. Currently I don't have the time, but this sounds like a lot of fun*. I look forward to reading what KMC ("Killer Made Comics") will produce.
* so much so that this is the first time I've ever posted in the Battlezone.

that kind of stuff is totally unenforceable anyways. We sort of have to trust that none of the writers are going to call in a ringer or have someone else do their work for them.
idk, seeing as I know there are people with more writing experience than me, I was really just looking for a tip about making characters less 2 dimensional, especially because I don't want them to come of as a stereotype.
The answer is no. I obviously can't enforce it, but I trust you won't do it. Ask them for advice, don't ask them to do the actual writing even for secondary characters unless you want to include that person in as a partner.

okay, so i have a nice preliminary idea--something sorta big and 'cosmicy'. just trying to work out the kinks and trying to determine whether i can get it in inside the 6 issues and what-not. even if i don't get it completely down here, i like it enough that i may consider pursuing it anyway in some format or other in some place or other. hope i can get it put together for this though.

I'm pretty sure I'll write a Hellblazer story (cause I'm obsessed with him). Might set it in the regular DC universe, I have a couple ideas swirling around, but I'm pretty sure that I want it to be decidedly non-cosmic.
Sometime this coming week I will be opening up the thread to post the finalized concept you will be writing about. We will work out a schedule for when the first issues will be due.

sounds cool. loads of potential story stuff there. i'll be trying to answer a question i've been curious about for a long time but that has never really be satisfactorily, or consistently answered in comics. besides, i like big, cool, cosmicy stories.
A) Look at the example I gave of a script. My rules post also includes a "How to write a script" by using a script format.
B) Look at the examples that PR gave on comic based scripts (Grant Morrison's in particular as it has no panel)
You're using place establishing shots (EXT. = Exterior, INT. = Interior, DAY or NIGHT), then your prose, and then dialogue spaced out. It shouldn't boil down to 3 pages.
Also, you asked about font: Courier New or Times New Roman. Essentially not something anyone is going to hate reading.

I tend to write comic scripts in panels, would that be acceptable or does it have to be movie script style. I don't mind either way, I just prefer panel style for comics.
I think it would be easier to read movie script style simply because there won't be an artist to draw out your panels visually.
Which is the standard for both movie scripts and comic scripts. In movies one script page tends to be one actual minute of the movie. In a comic, one actual page.
And it's easier to read for everyone involved (and in this unique case, most importantly the judges of this tournament).
So, I'm just going to put your name down as part of the program

I'll PM you all individually to let you know when it is up. We could do with one or two more judges if anyone knows of anyone willing to do so.
