I've indeed touched base with Marnie and Ben, but Ben hasn't seen/responded since initial contact so the timezone and comms piece may be an issue going forward... though may be we need to follow suite and pre-agree things which I'm guessing is what Warren and Libby have done.

Blondie - BarryJohn is in similar timezone to me... happy to swap round if it help and partner him to let him back in? I've PMd you too.

I have made contact with john - we should be fine.

Do we need to confirm anything with Mr Blonde in advance of the script entry?

Also, it may be me, but when are the scripts due? I can’t see anything.

Quoted from BarryJohn
I had questioned world time zone, and was told it'll not be a problem! With that, I signed-up.

Now... I have been removed from the list. Because, I was given a TWO HOUR notice to respond, this while I was asleep in South Africa. USA Midnight is 7am here in SA.

Mr Blonde had sent me an email telling me I have not made contact with my partner (Darren). And I now have two hours to respond (Now I'm in bed asleep)

Yet, me and my partner had made contact!

01 July - 10:25pm. Darren emails me, making contact.
02 July - 1:40am. I reply to Darren, make contact.
02 July - 1:09pm. Mr Blonde emails me (as mentioned above)
02 July - 3-19pm. Darren POST hereto, to says that WE HAVE made contact. He even commented NOT COOL!
03 July - 1-10am (My 8am) I wake up looking forward to getting started.. And POOF! my name is removed.

Not cool.

Don't panic, BarryJohn, when Sean (Mr Blonde) is awake he'll see this or you can PM him.

Yep, we're a very chilled team... so far. Although honestly, I jumped the gun before topic announcement. But then we're still chilled.   Don't know when it comes to writing the thing though... Me, that is.  
Very cool of you re your suggestion with BJ too. We'll see what Blondie says.

While Blondie's still catching 40 winks...

Well, we need to post our Agreement. I'll search and see what that entails but from memory I think it's just - we are in agreement.


As for deadline: I copied and pasted this from Sean:


Quoting Blondie:

Deadline for week 1 scripts?

11:59PM EDT Monday. U.S.

For us in Oz,:

1:59PM Tuesday. That's for Sydney, best I can do.

This from me:

UK time, I think would be 5am but don't quote me on that one. This tbc.

Hi All.

Thanks to all to try get me back in... It's not fair to the now partners, to now keep changing them around. I'm also now too despondent.

Good luck to you all.

On Friday, July 3rd, at 12:00AM, the topic for that week will be provided. Writers can start writing at any time, so long as they agree on the elements they choose.

Both partners are expected to post in the Agreement thread, simply, that they have reached an agreement. No details.

N.B. No details.

My group is communicating now about genre preferences - but I have NO IDEA what we're aiming to achieve in agreement. Can someone help me?

And can we please take into account time zones? I'm Queensland Australia time and I also work  full time professional job that is infamously time consuming./exhausting (no excuses - just trying to explain why you're getting messages from me at odd hours)

Thanks babies

Blondie, re: location, does it ALL have to take place there, or can it be just the prominent setting? Or is it that it just has to be "a" setting among many others?

I can't speak for Blondie, I can only reiterate what his instructions were:
Pick from the list - object, location, character, genre, and take into consideration the overall theme.

We didn't have a big conversation - Warren just said over to you (this week) and then next week he gets first dibs.
I know there's three of you but you've got more choices in the bag, right? I think too many conversations about genre preferences might lead to you guys losing valuable time. You're going to have to cover genres you don't particularly lean towards either way.

You might have to elect a Captain and draw out of a hat if you can't agree.


The deadline for us Aussies is: 1:59PM Tuesday 7th.
