    Re: Summer Camp

    A team of archaeologists from a town far, far away recently discovered that the Done Deal Pro website is built upon an ancient Native American burial ground that has a diabolical curse placed on it by a Native American medicine man who looks just like Chief Dan George.

    The curse, like a chicken, is bound to come home to roost, and that's what's keeping the Done Deal Pro townsfolk from coming out of their cabins and down to the town square to participate in “Summer Camp” festivities the likes of yours.

          A summer camp set in the desert enslaves the delinquent kids who attend to digging holes all over the desert searching for buried treasure.

          Don't think it's ever been done before...

              By 'camp', I do so awfully hope and pray that you mean 'theatrically effeminate', darling.

                So that's what this was all about, then:

                  So we're all agreed then, this could be a contest, and everyone's up for making their brilliant idea into a short script! That's what I like to see, the old DD enthusiasm.

                    Just thinking out loud.

                    What if, instead of saying the next contest closes on a certain date, we pick a number of scripts that have to be entered instead?

                    For example: "Summer Camp submissions are open until we get (pick a number) 12 scripts submitted, plus add (maybe) 2 days, for anyone who is about finished with their script."

                    It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but something might get more scripts entered per contest.

                      This is a good idea. It gives writers a chance to rewrite until the number of submissions goal is reached.

                      After a good deal of ruminating (and cud-chewing), finally, I was able to come up with a “Summer Camp” storyline. Count me in for this “write-a-thon” for the first time ever. Due date?

                          Given the paucity of posts lately, why don't we halve that (because we have to)?

                            So, does that mean if I write 12 summer camp screenplays and enter them all tomorrow (no matter how short or crappy they are) I win all the BIG prizes?!

                            Whoa, dude!

                              THAT'S why we give the extra two days (or so). We have to watch out for THESE kind of tricks.
