Talk:Script Frenzy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Old talk
Okay, I have no idea how to write an article. However, considering that the site is now online and things are actually underway, the article should be created. I've put a one-sentence description. That's all. I just need to know how to format what should go in. Here's what should be in here:
- A basic description of the contest. This can be obtained from the site itself.
- Possibly a small bit on the history of the site itself, considering the two-day delay, as well as a brief mention of the 17:00 December 31 1969 glitch. However, just the basic description is probably all that is necessary, at least until the competition has taken place.
Really, someone else should be writing this, at least until I learn how. And I'm already tied up in Script Frenzy, so it might be best to have someone else do it. I'm sure I can maintain an objective stance, but...it's just a bad idea for me to do this. So, can someone write this article? The research should be simple, just go to the site (scriptfrenzy.org).

Where did the original article go?? I have requested it to be undeleted, and I had at least three paragraphs of information, suitably explaining it for someone unfamiliar with the subject. I unfortunately have not been contacted if such undeletion has occurred, so if someone could please check that before tagging this article and deleting it again that would be appreciated. I created this article over 6 months ago, and it followed all the guidelines.
I would help fix it now but I unfortunately don't remember what I had originally written here, and I am too busy to try to rewrite it at the moment. So if you could PLEASE find the original, maybe that would help anyone trying to work on this article.
Sorry if I come across as angry, but honestly, this article keeps getting tagged for errors that aren't on it. Give it a chance and follow the source links that should be (or were) o if you think that it isn't "going to actually happen" or whatever was written on the original discussion page.
Sorry again, I just think that the original page should be restored and then you can work from there. I had a lot of information on it, so the current "uninformative" tag shouldn't be there.Verdamondo 04:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Um...I'm new...but, how does this article not have enough credible sources? Because all the information in the article is sourced, and can be confirmed by simply visiting the Script Frenzy site. Dread Pirate Felix 23:25, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Does having used the NANO site and Script Frenzy site count? I've been BLONDBOMB in both places since 2002. They DO exist; they DO respond (ie. send money, receive promised jersey, now worn out, saying No Plot, No Problem...) Chris's book by that title is available on line from book sellers. He's quoted on ABOUT.COM in the writing forums. NANO has a place where you can read/post press articles. Someone's NANO book was opted for publication prior to writing it one year, and also showed up on line. (That person is gutsier than I am, to sign to publish a ROUGH DRAFT... My stuff needs to be EDITED!) I was not able to complete NANO the last few years, due to paying job with intensive reading/writing component required in that time frame, but I did clock the 20,000 words that was purported to equal a 2 hour movie script WHEN DONE CORRECTLY last year, but there was the rub. I'm still far too novelistic. By that word count, my plot arc was on Act II, Scene I, and the character arcs were still in early development/revelation stage, lol! That is NOT the fault of the offerings on the site, but a reflection of my abilities as a novice script-writer.
