The primary purpose of the SimplyScripts Discussion Board is the discussion of unproduced screenplays. If you are a producer or director lookng for your next project, the works here are available for option, purchase or production only if you receive permission from the author.

What if my entry exceeds the 6 page maximum by more than 13 pages?
Can we write about a person who gets their butt glued to an 85" TV screen during a Taylor Swift concert?
Is it acceptable if all my characters are named Markus, or would that be too confusing?
If I lose internet and electricity, is it cool if I handwrite an entry and mail it to The Don, who can scan it? Wait...if that is cool, and I decide I can't pay for my internet or electricity and actually do this, is it going to be too obvious which entry is mine?
Is there a minimum and/or maximum # of characters, and if I have both human and nonhuman characters, would that affect the minimums and maximums?
See. THESE are the questions that need to be asked.
I'm not interested in coming up with a crazy twist or anything like that. I like my stories Simple. Straightforward. A to B. No C.
I am very, very liberal when it comes to interpretation of the theme. And I award extra points* for pushing boundaries and cleverness. - Don *The points aren't worth anything
Bummer And here I was thinking those (extra points) would be valid ‘SimplyScripts Credits’, y’know… to purchase items from the SimplyScripts Online Nightmarket of ‘Curious and Disturbing Sundries'. But alas… such a bizarre night market has never existed… or does it?

You will receive a message from me to the effect of, "your script exceeds the maximum length, you have until midnight, May 2nd edt (that's 11:59:59PM edt) to resubmit your work within the maximum page length.

1) A handwritten screenplay would not be considered 'industry format'. You'd need to type up the script on a manual typewriter and make sure it arrives before midnight, May 2nd edt (that's 11:59:59PM edt) 2) As I have in the past, I'd make best effort to ensure the anonymity of the author probably by printing out all of the scripts and scanning them back pdf so all scripts more or less look similar.

Yes.

What about pickled herring? I'm quite fond of those.
I am, too.
The fact that they're pickled could work out to be quite the twist. Or maybe, you don't reveal they're pickled until the second you want to add a twist.

We cover it with boiled potato, mayo/sour cream, then a layer of carrots, again mayo with sour cream and beets, again mayo with sour cream. We call it herring in furs.
Just sharing. It's a type of Russian salad we make in my country. I love it!
