Ok, I am not good at sticking to promises I make considering writing.
For about 10 months I screamed never to do frenzy again. Untill I woke up from this amazing dream that asked to be written.
So I guess I just haven't got a choice.
I even "got "the name for it.

Dragon zone will be the name and it will be about dragons( figures....)

In short this will be the plot

A family; man, husband, boy and girl. Go for a trip to the mountains. They do not know of the Legend of the Dragon Zone. While they are there their car breaks down and the mother and daughter go searching for food.
The boy and his father remain at the waters edge. Something happens there which they never thought that it would.

Meanwhile a father and his son are on a trip as well. The father knows about the legend and believes in it. When they get there his son doesn't believe it untill they meet the others who tell them a remarkable story.
It's thrilling at first, untill they meet the dragons.

So, I’m not quite sure if I’m supposed to be in Comedy or Horror, because I really hope to be having a good mix. I imagine the lack of screaming, half-nude girls, and higher presence of witty dark humor puts me more in the Comedy section – but, for the sake of the forums, I’ll be poaching both.

First time at ScriptFrenzy, but not my first time writing a script – though I am definitely more novelist than screenwriter, so we’ll see how this goes.

Story is based off of a very real conversation between me and a close friend, and the full proof, excruciatingly detailed zombie apocalypse plan that has formed from there. (When Z-day comes, we are so going to live through it.)

Story: L, A, B, and C are probably the only people on the planet who had a full proof 'in case of zombie apocalypse' escape plan, before the standard 'in case your home blows up with you in it'. plan And while friends and family had a great time laughing it up, when a new viral disease starts to run rampant and L wakes up to find a the little old lady from apartment 2 chowing down on the brain of that cute guy from apartment 6, she thinks they're going to have the last laugh.

Mine is really complicated. I suppose you could classify it as a 'modern/urban fantasy'. The plot is that the Greek Gods and Goddesses have all been reincarnated into the modern world, except that their modern reincarnations do not know this. So when they all meet together for a movie that is based on the Ancient Greek myths of the gods and goddesses, they find out who they are in their past life. Upon finding this info out, they slowly begin to acquire powers and take over the movie studio.

It's still a working plot... heh. Tell me what you think.

Androbard- sounds like it has promce.
I'm doing "Clasccail" to in away.. Gelgamesh- the musical. Angry Goddess, demons, Best friends, swords, powerful hero's and magical vegetables...

These all sound really interesting! Here's mine:

There are two kingdoms, Solbraf and Cusaleurons, that have been at war for centuries. They have finally decided that they want peace, and are meeting in Solbraf to have a peace summit. The Chief Advisor of Cusaleurons, Vermeil the Uncouth, wants to take over the kingdoms--both kingdoms--and hatches a plot to eliminate the kings of both countries and take over as ruler. He is working in concert with Piceous Darkflame, brother of the "ruler" of a place called the World Beyond, inhabited by strange fairy-like creatures called Colorless Green Ideas, who wants to help become ruler of all three kingdoms. It will be up to a handful of children to save the kingdoms--and their families.

They are not the only people on the planet with zombie plans! I have a brilliant zombie plan and I will survive the invasion when it comes, along with the rest of my prepared friends. We are also ready for raptor attacks and a sudden resurgence of magic. It could happen!

Anyway, I'm writing a sci-fi, Hitchhiker's Guide style. The main character is a physics major in college who finds herself caught up with a group of parallel-dimension-traveling aliens called Quarks. They then go on a series of misadventures full of fuzzy science and downright nonsense.

Well, I'm planning (we all know how that works)to do this one called Fallen Angels it's about this woman who is a Fallen Angel, did something bad and got kicked out of heavan and this guy, a human, who has the power to send angels back to heavan. She wants to kill this guy but evenutally falls in love with him and fights to save him from other Fallen Angels who want to kill him. I don't know if I will since the way I invision it has a lot of internal dialouge and memories that I don't want to do flash backs for.

Mine's got a similar setting to Cowboy Bebop and Firefly, while trying desperately hard not to be too much like them. XD Shouldn't be too hard to do that, though - the characters are entirely different, and I've got my plot already mapped out (enough of it to finish the 2-part pilot and start on another episode, at least, which is what I'll need to get to 100 pages).

Those all sound really interesting. Mine's the story of the sphinx in the modern day world.

To sum it up: Sphinx been cursed for all eternity by one of the Greek Gods, maybe Hera, haven't decided. Makes bet for freedom, and has almost won, but God that cursed her tries to sabotage her every step of the way. Must turn curse into power to successfully defeat God that cursed her.

That's about the best I can do. It would probably make a great Sci-Fi Channel Original Movie! :p

Gilgamesh the Musical? Cool! I'd watch it.

I've got a few ideas... March is for narrowing them down.

• A tale of Mad Science and True Love during the Zombie Apocalypse.
• While Arthur and most of the Round Table are away during the Roman campaign, a pack of squires must defend his kingdom from enemies taking advantage of the situation.
• After her mother's murder, a college student discovers that the father she has never known is a vampire, and she has inherited his condition.

It's a sci-fi. And currently I'm writing the book pre/sequel . . . Complicated time travelling.

Basically this kid named Okothis runs a ship, well he joined when he was 18 and the 'keys' were passed down to him from the Captain. The book goes through his life after the previous captain left and he's running things (they are criminals, basically. And it's going to be awesome. I swear . . . ) Anyway, the end of the book ends with the old captain, now a whithered old man, telling Okothis to get bots (to change his appearance: The scientific Tonks, yey) and to go to a certain location. Where he is pulled through a black whole or the likes (just him, none of the crew as specified by said old man) and goes back in time to when he was 18 again.
Turns out, the old captain is really him older and gone back in time.

There's also Okothis' Diary (which is prolly gunna be the title) which is only there because it's written and it has been written because it's there. Understand? No one remembers writing it. The old man tells Okothis to bring it back with him. Yeah.

Don't really have a 'real' plot. Hoping it will develope this month :-D

I don't really have a plot yet as such - my screenplay is gonna be set in Japan and has to include a dragon, a phoenix and a kirin somewhere. No idea how I'll do it yet... spent some time earlier developing my main character but that's about it :|

Steampunk! (probably of the less magical, more science-y distopic sort) a tv series about a society where artists, writers, scientists, and other such people who have the tendency to get dangerous ideas, have to either a.) sell their soul to the government (no, not literally) or b.) hide, because otherwise they will be thrown into the Change Cage. The main character is the guy who works the Change Cage -- for everyone else, it's a horror, or a safety measure. For him, it's just a job. Also features a mad scientist, a heartbroken prostitute, an airship pirate, and one of the very few government sanctioned rockstars, who also happens to be the mad scientist's daughter.

And the cool thing is, I already have all the music -- the show's theme song, theme songs for the characters, etc. -- because the whole concept of the show was inspired by my favorite music group. :) (Abney Park, if anyone was wondering).

So yes, I know my premise, I know my characters...

Now all I need is a plot for my pilot. :S

I am going to shoot for being involved in Script Frenzy, even though I am a student in an editing class (whew)

I am narrowing things down to either a thriller suspense story, or a Sci Fi story...

I have a much more well laid out plotline for the sci fi script, but it is a much longer and more drawn out story...also, I am not that sure footed yet with dialogue, but am working to get there-

the story is called "Zero"

It is about a futuristic society where all art, music, movies, and even colors besides white (!), are all outlawed. All the people of this society are made to be born and live their lives inside a giant white dome the size of like the Houston Astrodome...These people have never seen the sun or outdoors, unless they saw it when they were very young, but then were taken away from their parents.
The main character is Brad (named after the metal clip that holds paper). He is a construction worker, made to build plain, square houses for the people to live in. He is 22, and has built houses for years already. His wife, Lisa, is 19 and only sews clothing all day in an all white warehouse area with futuristic sewing machines. (They are similar to futuristic Amish people, in that they are given busy tasks to do with their time so they dont commit "sins" like singing, dancing, or drawing pictures)

The Dome is run by "The Founding Fathers" who make sure no one ever does anything creative or artistic. One old lady does, though, rebelling late at night by throwing colored paint around the "indoor streets" of the dome.
Brad (hiding) secretly sees this, but then sees a robotic "cube", like a high speed 7 foot by 7 foot metal square, zoom out and yank in the old lady for painting in colors, and takes her away.

THis is the beginning of the story...

Hey eye.of.the.dragonfly, mine will probably look like a bad fanfic of those two you mentioned. ;) It is a Sci-Fi TV show, after all, and those are pretty much the only two Sci-Fi TV shows I've ever seen… but hey, gotta try.

jannie_delta, I would definitely watch that!

I am, I suppose, writing some sort of science fiction screenplay about 18 century Europeans. Unsurprisingly, I'm having trouble getting them into space, but I will prevail! I just have to pick which laws of physics I'm going to ignore.

August, Have you heard of Space 1899? You could go earlier because they get to space using "Ether" powered airships.

In D&D there is a similar "Phlotgam" for Spelljammer, magic or psychic boat like spaceships.

Thanks a lot!

And magical vegetables, lol! Your script sounds interesting! ;)

Mine is a mix of fantasy/action/adventure. I have a -basic- plot at the moment that I've outlined a little bit of (only because I originally intended to write it in story format but that hasn't been working out for me). Basically it's about a boy and girl who are twins and the children of a king. Long ago (or rather, in the beginning it'll show this) there was an attack during a celebration at the palace and a fire started. The twins were believed to be trapped and killed, but they were able to escape. However, the rest of their family, outside of an uncle and cousin, did not.

So years later they basically need to do whatever they can to get the throne back (since the people who attacked took over) and...yeah. :| I dunno, it doesn't sound THAT great at the moment, but I still luckily have time to work with it.

@ Gryta - I first got the basic idea and the first couple of characters making up stuff in my head while I listened to a Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, so it's got deep roots there. XD

I actually didn't see Firefly until about a month go, well after I had the idea semi-developed and I just went "...Well crap, I hope I can avoid being too much like this one, too..." D:

But yeah, they're definitely the two best space-based sci-fi shows out there in my opinion - Star Trek has its place, but I personally like realism, and those two fit the bill. They both still kinda fudge things, though, which I'm avoiding - having no artificial gravity except within the living quarters (which are in a spinning ring) is going to be the most fun to play around with, I think. I'm going to really have to resist writing in too many camera guidelines. XP

I'm planning on adapting the novel I'm working on into screenplay form. It shouldn't be too hard; the way I write, it's practically a screenplay already. I'm not even going to touch or look at my novel-in-progress during that time, however; I'll do it from memory. Maybe the script will help me with the novel, or vice versa.

Here's the plot:
In a fantasy world, a female guard is exiled from the city she's lived in her whole life and soon becomes involved with others in protecting a young girl from the armies of an evil king, who is trying to capture her because of her magical talent. Through their actions, they discover a conspiracy to bring back a banished evil god and destroy the world. It contains some subversive elements, but I wouldn't call it a full deconstruction.

I will be writing the first few episodes of a television series called Here's to the Night. In the shortest way to describe it is three siblings are forced to take up the family business when their father falls severely ill.

The thing is - the family business is roaming around the world and trying to disprove various kinds of cryptozoology, paranormal incidents, and yeah - things that go bump in the night, and then writing about it and/or releasing footage to those paranormal investigation shows (their father is basically an expert in the field). They've always been skeptics, but things suddenly shift into them all becoming believers when they realise that the illness that may be slowly killing their father may in fact be a curse... caused by what could be just about anything. (You poke at enough stuff, something's going to poke back eventually.) Oh, and family drama abounds - when not interrupted by ghosts, and strange little beasties (and some not-so-little).

It's a paranormal travel guide, basically. XD

Honestly, I'd really like to write something kind of offensive. A comedy, I guess, but really over-the-top offensive as well. Not neccessarily like a "gross-out" movie, but something really politically incorrect.
I've been really inspired by bad 70's and 80's guy-in-a-rubber-suit-attacks-residents-of-small-town movies (see "Laserblast," "Nightbeast," etc.), so I guess I'd like to write something akin to that genre, but with really offensive social commentary to boot.
I might not write that, though. I'd also like to try writing something very experiment and weird, inspired by shoestring low-budget sci-fi indie films like "Red Cockroaches" and "Infest Wisely." I have a cool new pocket camcorder that records in HD format (remarkably well, I might add) and I'd like to write something I could actually shoot as soon as I was done writing it.

In all honesty, though, I'm probably just going to spend my April evenings asleep on the couch.

Damn, I like yours, Deckmaster. Definitely sounds like something I'd wanna read....er...watch in a movie, too. XD Wish I had thought of something like that for mine.

Ooh, your ideas are all so neat! I'd probably watch all of them.

I'm doing the pilot and second episode for a tv show about a faerie descendant of the Brothers Grimm, named, aptly enough, Grimm. He is a changeling, switched with his adopted parents' dying child in order to save them both. He hasn't been told about his heritage until his freshman year in high school, where his developping magic begins to draw other "mythicals" to him, at the most inopportune times. He has a crazy music-loving Japanese best friend, who turns out to be a sound mage and who has been protecting him for years. Now they have to team up together in order to fix the problems of the good myths... and keep the bad ones from causing any.

It's kind of like Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Except with a gay naiad, an equally gay mage, and a lot of insane people who, when not under the illusion of their powers, turn out to be the most legendary, weirdest creatures ever created.

Well, mine is about a young rent boy who is struggling to look after his four younger siblings. He gets murdered early on and because of various sins he's commited, is sent to purgatory instead of heaven. There he meets a demon called Sam who offers to take him back to earth to help his siblings at the price of eternal damnation when he's finished.

... It actually sounds a lot cooler here than it does in my head. O.o

Properly, mine should probably be in adaptations, but I'm giving serious thought to CANDIDE as a sci-fi space opera. For those not familiar with the book, it's about a naive boy who's been raised to believe this is the "best of all possible worlds". When circumstances force him out of his sheltered existence and into the Real World, he endures one calamity after another. People die and reappear later on with the most absurd explanations for escaping death yet again. It's a wonderfully whacked satire.

So my thought is to make it "the best of all possible universes", with all the characters save for Candide himself played by robots, androids, automatons of one form or another, which would explain the whole "dead but reborn" thing. I did a series of images of the book around the concept last year; maybe it's time to take it to the next step.

Hey fellas.

My script this year is a comic (yay!), about gangs in a gigantic city in New Jersey about fourty years after a large-scale chemical attack was launched on the place by an extremeist group that splintered from one of the reform parties that sprung up after everything started going to hell. The story centers on this one very small gang containing some people, who, in the grand scheme of the city's politics, are considered rather important. My plot's a little foggy at this point-- but boy, will it be fun.

I was thinking of a zombie apocalypse story (I even got the main ideas, characters and the ending - I'm especially horrible at giving my stories a decent ending), but I'm settling down for the script version of an arc in my original fiction series. Well, mostly original fiction (it's very loosely based on a MMORPG).

So, it's fantasy, has some minor steampunk elements, and has to deal with a series of murders, a la Agatha Christie. The setting is a magic city in which three major schools function: the Magic Academy, the Guild of Engineers and the School of Alchemists. Well, when the magic device that keeps the city floating (literally floating) begins malfunctioning, the wizards call back a graduated student of the Guild of Engineers to have a look at it. Problems arise when one of the wizards sent to retrieve him goes missing in their way back; from that point on, other prominent characters ended up killed without an apparent reason. It's up to a detective of sorts (another graduated student from the Magic Academy) to dig up the murders; in the meanwhile, we learn about the main characters' backgrounds and relationships.

...The key point is, the murders seem to be random because they're random in nature: it's just the involved men mistrusting each other and killing each other without a true reason, and in the end one of the less suspicious characters will see his chance to take advantage of the situation.

I actually tried to write this story for a past Nanowrimo, but couldn't even begin with it. I decided to recycle the idea for this year's SF because I already had most scenes (or at least, the relevant ones) planned, the main plot defined and, most important of all, an ending for it! Let's see if the story turns out as planned (it's most likely it won't, I'm sure of it).

I dig it. It seems like there's a dearth of new ways for characters to acquire superpowers, and this is a cool new idea. How cool would it be to discover you're not just a "superhero", but a god? Especially since the Greek gods were so human in their jealousies and rivalries and passions, and I'd love to see how all that ancient history flares up in their modern incarnations.

SeanMartin: Am drooling over this screenplay idea. If you follow up on that ... I really want to read it. Bril.

Have you ever thought about incorporating parallel universes? You know, the idea that there is a universe for every possible outcome of every scenario, no matter how improbable, so the friends who narrowly survive and reappear to Candide are, by default, the ones from the universes where their highly unlikely escapes take place? But I'm kind of an android FREAK myself so that's intriguing as well.
