Quoted from Mr. Blonde
All right. That pretty much answered exactly what I needed it to. Thank you. =)


Cool.  I tried to be as exact as I could in my response to your question.

I had a PM from Dirk (DV44) earlier this morning, asking if he could have a wrecked vehicle in his script.  My response was yes.

Although there are no vehicle crashes or stunts, you can have the aftermath of a wreck, but the point is that your action should not involve a/the crash.

Example - you can't just not show a crash, and act like it just took place, but there can be a wrecked vehicle that wrecked sometime in the past that is discovered.

Make sense?

BUT, you can't alter reality in this area on a large scale basis.


Well, I think I'm DQ'd then! Haha...

Do we have to show the actual Pacific Northwest rim job, bro? Wouldn't that boost the rating to an NC-17?

Or do we just see the perps go behind the half buried spaceship outside of Spokane?

No prizes for guessing Dirks script then  

Mo - even if yours wasn't DQ'd I'd expect some time warp, altered reality, far out there number from you, nothing less.

Mine - meh, but at least it will be an entry. Don't have time to rip it up and start again.

Anyone thinking of using a time portal of some type in their script and not sure if you'd be DQ'd for it, just remember that it's ok for thingies to come OUT of it into July 2013.

Can I get a loose definition on what constitutes "large-scale" destruction?

Well, keep in mind that no natural disasters, explosions, or weapons of mass destruction are allowed, so I'm struggling to come up with a way that large scale destruction could take place.

Basically, my thinking was that I wanted writers to have the ability to work with an unlimited budget, but not have access to the things that usually come with an unlimited budget - if that makes any sense.

One more thing to remember - the child's discovery "could" alter mankind, but definitely does not have to in the script proper.

For instance, in the classic Spec script, "Chris Halverson's Cannibal", the hermit/cannibal, Elijah is killed in the end, but the last scene shows 3 more cannibals in a tree, suggesting that the reign of terror is about to start up again.

Well, let's say an enchanter (there are some who call him Tim) is shooting fireballs in every direction. Can he burn down a house or two?

Or say two enormous rock golems are fighting. Can one punch another through a small mountain?

...these are VERY hypothetical ideas, by the way. Hahah. if enchanters or golems turn up, it is not me. (Or IS it?!)

Chris, funny, cuz I was just thinking about your question and came in to post a"better" reply, and you pretty much nailed it.

My thoughts when coming up with the challenge did not include any "large scale destruction" of any kind, including "creature large scale destruction", but again, it's up to each writer to interpret the parameters in their own way.
