Mine was a short that I think I might expand into a feature. Not for the 7WC however, as this would be a long term project that I peck away at. I would want the ending to remain the same. The rest I'd have to come up with.
It would be expensive, so it has no chance at seeing the light of a camera as a short, and little chance as a feature. But this feels like a passion project to me, and I can't even explain why, since it was not a topic I was thinking about. It popped into my head that Friday night, and it was written the next day. I wasn't even going to show it to anyone, but then I sent to someone who I share notes with, and she loved it, so I posted.
I still feel a little bit of an inexplicable passion for developing it. This is the second time I've had that kind of passion for a project, where you just feel you need to write something, even though you know it's not likely to be produced. Not an effective method to get work as a writer, I suppose, but an urge I can't resist at times.
I wrote the first 10 of a feature. At the time I wrote it, I also wrote down the "tent poles" for the rest of the script and based the first ten pages on those milestones so I had some ideas of story and character arcs. The feedback has been pretty good and so I think I will continue working on the script.
Post the second ten or 15 pages, Mac, when you have them, if you want. I'll read. I think reading the whole first act gives a better sense than just the first 10. Look at Pia's, for example. Much of what she just explained will be apparent within 25, but you couldn't tell in 10.

Thanks. Will do. I've spent the weekend working on the beat sheet and will be starting the next set of pages next week.

Kev, I'm thinking along the same lines, I may do something with this one here over time, But mIGHT try something different with the 7WC (if Im able to enter). This OWC, could be made into something like The Punisher (MAYBE LOL).
I'm thinking of doing a found footage. I've been putting together notes, it does present a challenge if the whole thing is found footage.
Sci fi is one of those things, I think, that it can take longer to write depending on what you do, because you have to invent a whole new world. But I guess if things are kept in a limited location, like a space station or something, not much world creation is required.
