Information about it:
25-30 pg script.
6 weeks to do it.
all stories are somehow linked
"the collecter" idea is probably in

A brief summarization of what happened in this thread. Let me know if anything is a miss and feel free to add.

Cheers Gabe,

Alffy sent me a pm saying he's probably not going to be able to do it.

If you take him off the list and if he gets the time he can rejoin.

Cheers

Here’s what we have so far.  

For “the collector” narrator:

Each episode the collector introduces us to an item in his collection.  Each item contains the shadow of a soul. The story you see is how the soul was lost.  The item must figure prominently into the story. 20-25 pages, supernatural, suspense.

Each episode the collector becomes a different character.  The story you see is how he collects the soul. The character the collector becomes must be the antagonist. 20-25 pages, supernatural, suspense.

The collector is a single (as yet undescribed) object.  Each episode the collector is found by the protagonist and the story is how the soul is collected.  The item must figure prominently into the story. 20-25 pages, supernatural, suspense.

Each episode one of the above choice occurs.  The story is about the loss of a soul.  One of the deadly sins must be present in the story. 20-25 pages, supernatural, suspense.

For “another” narrator:

The narrator provides an introduction to the story. Each episode one of the deadly sins is featured. 20-25 pages,  suspense.

Not a bad collection.   Do you want to vote now or do you want to discuss it some more?

One other thing I wanted to suggest is that maybe instead of releasing the scripts all in one go, it might be interesting if we stagger them so that one is released each week.  This gives the writers of the later scripts extra time, in case anyone has scheduling struggles. It also allows the readers to take some time off before reading another script in the series.

Cheers,

Michael

Nicely put together Michael, I thought we were going for 25-30 pages though?

I would vote for the second one you listed there. The collector becoming a different character in each episode. I think we would need someone else to be narrator though as who the collector is should be a reveal at some point in each episode. I'd like the deadly sins involved in some way. Just I think the character who's soul is lost should have a flaw and this would give the series an extra identity.

Agree with you about the weekly entry. Maybe just enter this to the series board?

We need 3 more writers though really if the 7 deadly sins are going to feature.

Ouch!
I got deleted.
I would like to participate.

Sorry, i need to bow out of this one. I'm traveling back to sunny, dusty, bomby Pakistan, so with travel and work probably won't have much time to write.

Okay so that's;

The numbers are dwindling. lol. Should we do something similar to Double Carnage or Bucket's of Blood, just a bit shorter and with the narrator involved. Just a thought. It saves the trouble for Don towards posting each one every week.

But I choose the one where the narrator speaks and then we go into the story(this is prob the second one that ste voted for. if it is, i'm in agreement). It seems more simple. The first one gets a bit complicated by that the narrator changes character.

The only problem is the overall theme. Is it going to be about the seven deadly sins? Don't know.

Gabe

Hey elis, welcome.  

Not to worry about people bailing, better to have them leave now than to do it when we are expecting them to present an episode.  If it has four episodes in it's first run it has four episodes.  They can be added to at our leisure and perhaps, in the future, we may gather other interested people.

The reason I said 20-25 pages is because we need room for the narration.  The finished script would actually be longer.   You don’t need to worry about the narration as you write the script,  that will be added later.

I think what we are voting on should be made clearer (Gabe seemed a bit confused).  Here we go.  

A
“The collector” begins each episode as narrator by telling us about an item in his collection.  Each item contains the shadow of a soul.   The story that follows shows how the soul was lost. The item figures prominently into the story.  “The collector” sums up the story with an epilogue narration.

B
“The collector”, I think we’ll call him Soulshadows, begins each episode as narrator and sets up the story.  He then transforms into one of the story’s characters, the antagonist.  You watch how he collects the souls.  The story must have a clear antagonist and must involve one of the deadly sins.  “The collector” sums up the story with an epilogue narration.

I only include these two options because I think these are the two we are most interested in.  Vote A or B now.  I ‘ll be back with my vote.


  

Thanks for the explanation. I vote A.

Gabe

I also vote A. As a side-swipe I've won £130($260) at the local casino in a poker tournament by finishing 7th out of 153 people. Check that sh** out!

I'm up for this, count me in

Congrats ste. share the wealth. lol. Joke. Congrats ste.

I also think A is the better option.
Cheers

Though I think B is a more unique idea, I think A is a bit simpler to write. So...

I vote for A.
