Or could we just let it flow, and the readers pick for themselves what happened on what pages?


Read the rules. Script format, no panels.

And, how many characters (by this I mean the 10000 character limit) on average would your standard issue be? How many posts? 1 full post, 2 posts, etc?


It's based on pages done in Google Drive. If you have a gmail account, you have a Google Drive (Google's online version of Microsoft Office). You can then share the link. For an example, refer to Oliver North's post in the Writer's Pitch thread.

And, if we finished it all, could we drop multiple issues at once, or do we have to wait? 6 months is a lot of time to wait if you're proud of your post and you want people to see it.
I understand if not though. However, what about bi-weekly, or weekly?


That's something I'd have to think about. I made it 6 months to give people time to write their stories since I know people can be busy. If the other participants all feel like they can write their six issues in a shorter period of time, we can talk about it. Otherwise, I don't think that would be fair to the rest of the participants

I'll be honest, I have no problem with different writers posting parts of their story early, but there is almost no way I feel I could produce my best work if I were pushing for 4-5 pages a week. Maybe by the end of April, but right now I'd prefer the month.

I don't mind people turning in their parts early either. But I wouldn't be able to do that, so I'd prefer that we can stick to the earlier schedule at least.

I've started writing and I'm actually quite happy with it so far. I write in plain text so I don't know page count, but I assume 250 words per page is about average so I'll aim for 2500 - 3000 words for the 10 page issue. Which means if I don't delete everything (which might happen as I start to hate it) I'm already about 15-20% through, w00

I've actually just gotten some convenient practice writing scripts recently because a section of my novel is rendered in manuscript format. I think captions will come in handy in supplementing the dialogue, keeping it from being sparse.

Yes, read that part of the post with a patronizing up-lilting Stewie voice.

I had to break up my one story in to six issues so that none of them would feel like filler. I want it to flow well.

I'll be honest, issue 1 is going to be tough for me, I've got paper to mark and all this nonsense...

Haven't put pen to paper, so to speak, but I'm 60%, ish, done the issue in terms of knowing how all the dialogue goes.

It will be considerably better for other issues, but damn work...

When it comes to writing for deadlines, I usually write something in a day and turn it in two weeks or even a month before it's due, but I've never written anything in this format before, so who knows.

I haven't started writing the issue yet.

I'm still as far into it as I was when I last posted about it.

How is this going to work, btw? Where are we posting them?

I'm going to be opening a thread the day before the issues are due. Post your Google Drive link there and the judges will read them.

In addition, sometime between this issue and the next, I'll be PM'ing everyone for the small interview that you all agreed to.
