We don't have a way to mail you the answer. ;)

The Script Frenzy challenge runs from April 1 to April 30 - no starting early! One of the greatest joys of the challenge is writing alongside your fellow writers. And the difficulties of arranging your work around a set deadline is good practice!

I've been doing a bit of outlining and character dev. since yesterday. But no actual pannels or such (comic writer). I was wondering if that was even legal, but its fine for NaNo (so I have been told). I have to have something to follow or I will just get really lost! XD

As long as there's no actual writing going on, you're perfectly legal!

You can start at 12:00 AM local time on April 1 and you will end at 11:59 PM local time on April 30.

So, as soon as the calendar turns over for you, you should be able to start!

RE: Are we allowed to start writing now?

I'm partnering up with a friend who lives in a different time zone as me, but we want to start writing at the same time. Would I be a horrible person if I started writing one hour before midnight my time and then if I were still writing on April 30th (heaven forbid) ended an hour earlier to compensate? I personally don't see the issue as we're working together, but I don't want to be plagued with guilt monkeys the entire month either. :p

The flying guilt monkeys are unforgiving, and have no sympathy for you. You must abide by the rules, or they will plague you mercilessly. :)

Strictly speaking, you both need to start when it's midnight YOUR time.
