AND HERE WE GO...


Theme: Fever Dream

FYI: A fever dream is a particularly distressing, scary, or bizarre dream that a person may have when experiencing a fever. (Source: https://www.dictionary.com/browse/fever-dream)

Challenge: Write a coherent story where your main character has a fever dream.  

There's more --> The dream becomes the driving force to take revenge on someone who betrayed the protagonist, but this plan backfires terribly.

Genre: Horror/suspense/thriller

Script length: Upto 10 pages.  

Locations: As many as you need. (Although, budget-wise you should aim for a singular location)

Time: 168 hours (7 days).


THE USUAL:

This isn't a contest - it's a challenge. There are no official prizes.

You can revise your script as many times as you wish up until the deadline.

Do not put your real name(s) on your script; this is an anonymous challenge. However, please use your real name(s) when submitting your script.

After the challenge closes you can either have your script removed or resubmit your script with your name on it.

(Don's rule)
Participants must read and comment/review in the discussion board at least 10 other scripts submitted or your work will be removed (no harm, no foul. I understand that life gets in the way.

Please put ©2023 on your title page.

Any questions about the challenge, post them here.

There will be a review page emailed to you for you to score the scripts you read. Please only give scores to scripts that you have read.

Please do not rate scripts in your review.

I love this bit:

Write a coherent story where your main character has a fever dream.  



That said, a nice challenge, Yuvraj.
Horror fans should be over the moon.

Ahoy - Yuvraj, so you're running this circus -- well some one has to be the ringleader - everyone else are clowns.

Thankfully I'm still over the moon - and we've got a good idea(methinks) and I'm almost done writing it. _ghostie gal

Wow!  I take a one week vacation and look what happens!  Another challenge appears!  I still have beach brain so don’t know if “coherent” is in my wheelhouse right now, but according to the clock, I have 6 days, 2 hours and 9 minutes to pull a rabbit out of the hat.  Not sure I’ll have anything, but there’s always hope. Maybe it will come to me in a dream.

Christmas Joe (Holiday Drama)
Every Time It Snows (Holiday Drama)
Happy Holi-DNA (Holiday Romance)
Let That Pony Run (Family Drama)
With Love, From Romance (Holiday Romance)
