Dear Scriptwriter,

Greetings! Chris Baty, Executive Director of the Office of Letters of Light here. Happy almost-end of Script Frenzy!

As you wrap up your script, I wanted to ask two favors of you.

Firstly, if you got something out of Script Frenzy, please give something back. The Office of Letters and Light judges the success of the Frenzy in a lot of ways, including the number of writers who sign up, the percentage of folks who win, and the heaps of great feedback we get from emails, MLs, and our end-of-the-event survey.

But one of the biggest ways we know that Script Frenzy has been worthwhile is that participants like you come away from it so inspired that you make a small tax-deductible donation to help us cover costs. So far this year, only 2.42% of our participants have chipped in.

If you've donated already, or purchased one of this year's amazingly awesome tees or posters, we can't thank you enough. If you're waiting until the end of the event to donate, we understand. Know that your $10 or $25 contribution will go a long way toward helping our grassroots 501(c)(3) nonprofit continue to provide the deadline, community, and support that we all love and need.

You can donate securely online here. Or, find out how to donate via check, get sponsored by friends through Firstgiving, or sign up to use GoodSearch.

The second request is this: I would like you to consider adding a wombat to your story. I know it's a little late in the game for this, but have you SEEN these things?

They're like furry, oversized potatoes! Adorable! And menacing. They'll bite your face off if you anger them. For this reason, wombats can work as both goofy sidekicks AND sexy villains. It's totally up to you.

Thank you so much for helping us keep the creative mayhem of Script Frenzy and its Young Writers Program alive!

Chris
