I am writing a realistic uncanny mystery set in the present time with average people as the main characters.

This is a departure for me because all my nanowrimo novels have been magical realism or sci-fi.

Radio actually seems like it would be the perfect medium for sci-fi because you can describe anything you want without having to show it.

Maybe my script will unintentionally go in that direction as the month progresses...

What genre is everyone else doing for their radio plays?

Mine is a comedy, I love comedy, and I'm going to try to write it for once. Sort of My Favorite Husband/Jack Benny Program-esque.

I'm planning to write it as a comedy. Whether it comes out that way is another matter entirely!

Mine is a dark PI story set in Glasgow, Scotland echoing images from 1930s and 1940s but set today. Will try to bring in elements of humour.

I'm writing a fantasy script, with comedic elements mixed in. At least, that's my current plan...

Horror with science fiction/mystery elements thrown in.

Mine is just how I'm feeling at the moment. Already I had the main character almost paralyzed and dying of blood loss when I had a bad day. But he saved himself, thankfully, becuse I had a really good day. I'm totally wierd! But I guess you'd call it a thriller...

dystopic scifi thriller ... mixed with all the other good stuff: drama, action, romance ...

I figured I'd go kinda traditional and write a mystery. I'll have the main character (a modern-day college student) narrate in sort of a amateur attemp at the film-noir style, like it runs through her head.
We'll see how I do though, as I've never written mystery before.

Not positive yet, but I think I'll try and finish last year's ScriptFrenzy, which is a light-ish mystery show a la Richard Diamond or Pat Novak For Hire, minus the outrageous metaphors.

Action adventure (superheroes) with a liberal dose of horror/suspense thrown in.

Mine's pretty much a dramatic comedy about a girl who talks to herself. =D

I'm not 100% sure I'm actually doing this at all (Script Frenzy that is).[1] But, if I do, I have to say that a radio play sounds the most interesting (plus it has that added bonus of actually being produced "in-house" so to speak)

I've had this idea kicking around for the last couple of years. It's your basic, serialized space-adventure taking all it's cues from 50s scifi conventions. So the ship is run on vacuum tubes, computers have punch cards and take up a building, heroes have ray guns and robots are big, clanky monsters. I think the main character is probably based in a "normal" universe and get assigned to this ship where everything is retro-future instead of normal future. Wacky hijinks ensue.

I figure that 100 pages is probably 4 episodes, maybe a single story arc. Maybe two. I downloaded Celtx and I've been having a heck of time working with it. I guess I don't actually understand how a script is formatted.

[1] I have this bad habit of getting psyched for something and then bombing. I mean, I got all the way up to kick off for the last NaNoWriMo and then didn't write word one.

Science fiction - kind of hard, but with a slightly mystical bent.

My radioplay's genre is best described as Steampunk (basically victoriana meets sci-fi) with a Film Noir influence. It's about three women with different backgrounds (a reporter, a scientist and an explorer) who solve mysteries of the remarkable variety in the year 1890.

Modern, dark side of human thinking in an everyday setting. And the reasons for thinking that way ...

I'm doing a sort-of-drama. It doesn't really fit into any category. It's about young people with supernatural powers. The public know that these powers exist, and are aware that people have them, but SNs are feared and hated. They don't know about this little group of SNs. It tells the story of their struggle (and eventual victory) for acceptance.

So...which genre is it? :D

Mine's sort of fantasy/horror - about vampires, what fun :)

1930s pulp romantic adventure. Nazis optional.

Mine's going to be a six-part sitcom based in a supermarket, and based on my several years of bitter experience working in them. The first three episodes are going to be for Frenzy, and the humour is fairly silly.

I'm doing a fantasy that's mostly a character study of a character who doesn't even show up in the play until the very end.

Mine is sort of science fiction. I'm doing a series of radio dramas based on the world of Frank Creed's Flashpoint novel. The novel is cyberpunk and based in the near future when an over reaction to religious based terrorism has caused the state to declare all fundamentalists (of any religion) to be terrorists. They are to be taken to re-education facilities, imprisoned or used as slave labor.

The underground Christian church tries to continue under these circumstances and a "muscle cell" in the church fights back using nonlethal weapons and agents with spiritually enhanced cybernetic implants.

My radio drama is a series of newscasts from a Pirate Radio station called The Voice of the Underground telling the truth that the government is restricting. I just completed the first which featured an interview with a "Nero" (a cybernetically enhanced government agent) who was converted and is on the run from his former bosses.

Mine's straight drama, I guess. It's a theme I've wanted to do something with for ages, and this has given me the impetus. It's a slightly different take on the Romeo and Juliet idea, the difference being that the family disapproval of the lovers is because they are both old, and one of them has dementia. It will all end in tears.

I'm doing sketch comedy. Is there anyone else doing the same? I'd really like to compare working styles.

We're doing supernatural sci-fi. I wanted space vampires, but now we're not expecting one of them to show up until episode 3 :).

It's a very cheesy, comical, science fiction :D
