Hey folks, welcome to Spitball!, the world's first screenplay written by blog.You may want to read the posts in our about section, particularly our Statement of Purpose

Or, you can start on the first post and work your way through sequentially by using the 'suceeding' links above the post name.

Who?

There are two of us here: Kent M. Beeson (aka Urban Shockah) bio, and Martin McClellan (aka Burley Grymz) bio.

Speedy Synopsis

After fighting through 50 different story ideas, the boys have picked Time to Die as the script to write. They are now starting the writing process.

The Spitball! Tourney of Story Ideas -- Heat #2!

March 15, 2006 · by The Urban Shockah · Permalink · comment on this post in the forum · Category: Original Version, communiqués, the screenplay

Now that Heat #1 has wrapped up, we're now onto Heat #2, where things really start to heat up! Big Money! Big Prizes! I looooove it!

So, there's gonna be two parts to this. First, we're going to determine the order of battle. I'm going to take the first four winners (Rasputin the Translator, La Commune Planet, Little Black Stray, and The Atheist) and order them #1-#4, and Burley is going to take the next four winners (Terminal Connection, Time to Die, Atmosphere [mad props to my late uncle thrice removed], and The Scabs) and order them #1-#4, and the they will go against each other, my #1 vs. his #4, all the way down to my #4 to his #1.

(God, this heat's gonna be trouble. I like all these ideas a lot.)

Then, the battles will be conducted as usual, with pros and cons, with one major difference: each of us will have to contribute a page-length character sketch of the protagonist for each story (thus, each story will have two character sketches of the same character, and each battle will have four character sketches total).

And that's about it. Same voting rules, same tie-breaker scenarios, same penalties of forfeiture -- unless Burley has some suggestions. Burley?

(Oh, and post your Top 4 anytime you're ready.)
