So we've been asked to do this a handful of times by the big three (I'll leave it to your imaginations which one of them is Stalin....), and since I'm in this for both the thought experiment and the writing practice, and we're fast approaching the end of Season 1, it's time to start putting money where mouths are. We need to take the generalities and vague shapes of what we've been spitballing in sessions and in the session threads in Across the Series and actually hammer out scenes for each episode. I would love to have a writers room and do this in real time, but that is probably a pipe dream. I'm putting it out there that, for those who are interested in doing things that way, we can try to get together in the chatroom or put together a Skype call or something, but barring that, this is where the magic is going to happen.
It's 7 am right now and I've slept about 30 minutes (thank you, Professor Higgins for an unironically great class), so I'm not going to actually do anything besides put this up and encourage the writerly types among you to speak up and maybe offer some times you'll be available in the next two weeks if you're interested in doing a writer's table. The exercise is basically storyboarding in text. If you actually want to pitch the occasional line of dialogue, there's even room for that here and there. The goal is having every single scene for season one described so that we can see the flow of how all the big thematic ideas that have been discussed in sessions to date actually fit together to create the action of season one. I will probably set up a Google doc for this, but if someone wants to beat me to it, you're all welcome to, as I am going to pass out so that I am not a useless husk for work tomorrow.
Get in here and do magic, nerds.
