Screnzyisms |
I can't believe it...I've had one already! (Don't know if it properly counts, since I'm not actually writing the script, but still...)
Queen of Cusaleurons, the second daughter of a duck, Modena never expected to catch Ponceau's eye.
...Yeah...that should say "duke". There are no animals in my script.

RE: Screnzyisms |
It most definitely counts. ^.^
Screnzy! '08 was a trainwreck for me. XD
Some choice Screnzyisms:
MEDLI: Hey, is that Skilley?
No, Medli. That's SKILLET. XD
(two sentences later)
MEDLI: Cool. I love Skilley.
APPARENTLY NOT IF YOU KEEP CALLIN' EM "SKILLEY".
I'm the Southern one! XD
INIT.
*hits self*
We're not running Terminal, here! XD
Everyone then cheers, and runs into his bus.
OH YIPES! That's a lot of people to fit into one bus! XD
That was supposed to say "their", and "buses".
DM: FYI, Hammitt. Matt and Hoopes are coming by to drag you to Bus One. Gonna teach Mlatt how to grape shoop.
SHOOP DA WHOOP! XD
Well, since it's primary time in Eerie
THERE'S ONLY ONE "E" IN "ERIE"! XD
TOY: Bob's not on The ..., Tour.
TOBY NOT SAD THIS TOUR.*
TOBY INANIMATE. XD
(P.S.: That is actually the name of the tour, is the ..., [pronounced DOT-DOT-DOT-COMMA] Tour)
(* - Back in 2006, I wrote "TOby sad" as opposed to "Toby said," [also did this with Sam], so it's become a joke that Toby sad. XD)
MATTS [EXCLUDING MATT]
There's a brilliant method. XD
WET: What?
Toby inanimate, and apparently West is...liquid. XD
The sun is singing, the birds are shining
...WHAT. THE. HELL. XD
JASON [WHISPERING TO BOB]
Dear DM. As To(b)y can tell you, Bob is not on the tour. XD
klol.
I have more, actually. XD

I think I might be a touch dyslexic 'cos I always end up swapping words sooner or later when I write.
But thank you. :D Glad I could bring lulz.

RE: Screnzyisms |
That's okay--I didn't know until someone explained it to me, either. ;)
A Screnzyism (or NaNoism if you're doing NaNoWriMo) is one of two things: either a typo, or a shattering of the fourth wall. Something that you go back and discover later and think, "Wait, what?" Hence my character being the second daughter of a "duck" rather than a "duke", and DM accidentally renaming two characters "Toy" and "Wet" rather than "Toby" and "West". Last year I almost had a character called "Yeah, That Sounds Like A Good Idea" rather than "Ray" because I messed up on the formatting. One year I think someone said that because Celtx automatically suggests previous characters as you write (much like Excel does with spreadsheet data), MAN WITH BATHROBE, who had all of one line, recurred as a character (instead of the MANNY the author meant to include). They can be quite funny, or just confusing.

I think what happened is I spent too much time on 4chan.
OH HEY.
While working on the basic plotline for my script, I wrote "Fail Force 5" instead of "family Force 5." n.n
DOn't have the actual wording, but it wasn't a good moment for me seeing as FF5 is one of my favourite bands. D;

RE: Screnzyisms |
Call me a nerd, but this one's *my* favorite:
INIT.
*hits self*
We're not running Terminal, here! XD
I didn't keep track of my NaNo-isms, but I will for Screnzy.
I don't think this counts, because it wasn't a typo or a shattering of the fourth wall, but I did, in the first couple pages of my NaNo, compare a vampire sucking blood to a baby suckling breastmilk. The exact wording was: "Without even thinking, he latched onto Dmitri's arm like a baby to a teat, and suckled there for a moment ... " (Dmitri had a gash in his arm, and was bleeding.)
I stopped as soon as I finished the sentence, and stared and stared at that, wondering how on earth something that awful could have come out of me.
I used the word teat.

RE: Screnzyisms |
The other day, as I went to post a whiny LJ entry, instead of typing "sigh" I totally typed "Sith." My usually dormant Star Wars geek leapt up and did a dance at that point.
A lame contribution, but I only have ten more minutes on my shift, the forums are depressingly dead, and not being able to write my script is driving me crazy, despite having only the vaguest idea of a plan ever.

RE: Screnzyisms |
Not specifically from my Screnzy, but yesterday during French class one of the kids asked for the word for "suicide," and when writing it down as the definition instead of writing "to commit suicide," I wrote, "to commit homework."

RE: Screnzyisms |
This isn't as hilariously brilliant as some of the ones already here, but it's the first I've caught so far and it gave me a ridiculous image:
"Bailey exists for the door before him."
I just... it was special. That's all.
(Should have been, "Bailey exits the door before him.")
-
A dead man once told me, "We are all lying underground, screaming, 'Let me out!'" I thought about this. I said, "Then I will be cremated and thrown loose to the free winds." "Ah," he intoned. "You will be the one screaming, 'Let me in!'" |

I almost introduced a new character:

The "enter" key didn't register, apparently.
Oh...and since I probably forgot...perma-permissions, perma-persimmons, perma-frost, permutations, per capita income, whatever...
[EDIT] And another...

As your Prince, I command you to stop thinking me of as such.
Brilliant, Eryth. Apart from the contradiction (which Jess astutely points out in her very next line), you manage to say "thinking me of as such". *headdesk*

ALANA: Leg go of me!
He is driving an old pickup trunk. (Hmm... that might be a little hard to drive...)
One character is only known as "Sketchy Man #1" I accidentally referred to him as "Stentchy man #1"
Spencer has been referred to as Spinner, Spencester, Cancer, Pincher, and once, Spinster. Yes, he is an old, unmarried woman. Somehow, I wound up typing Ninny instead of Nikki. The auto-correct on my computer needs to go away.

RE: Screnzyisms |
I had a verbal one about five minutes ago while talking to one of my friends.
Me: "I'm out of my death writing a crime/mystery screenplay--."
I stopped right after that and went "WAIT..." that's definitely supposed to be depth. The irony is not lost on me.
The only one I've caught so far, though there are probably others and I KNOW there are more waiting to happen:
His is one of the men from the photograph.
