Meet: Alison, Will, and Becca

If you're reading this and above the age of 18, you better be voting, dammit! There are 13 Swinton students left on the list and 6 non-Swinton Hares to plug through before you know everybody in the cast. Expect an update every other day since we need to get through these things before Draft Three is knocked out in earnest and, most importantly, before students get this little script in their grubby teenage hands on Monday the 24th. Here's a fun game to play while you lean - who are the main characters? Have fun trying to figure that out....

If Red Ink Were Blood

This script would be Gettysburg.



The weird nose-lookin' things ( > ) are a reference to a screenwriting term called "writing on the nose." This occurs when a character is feeling an emotion and instead of hinting at it or working around it, he or she just comes out and says it (eg. "You really hurt me, Jeff!") It happened a lot on this particular page, so I decided to make my life easier and write a little nose. I quickly realized how stupid that looks and refused to ever do it again...then put it on the internet. Sigh.

Second draft due this weekend....
