hi,
i posted "want to play this game" in script writing.

It can be done for real as in an actual submission or just as an exercise in AW. I will leave it up to you. Go read the details in the other post.
You need to write an "One ACT" no more than 15 mins set in an apartment at 3:54am.

I will complete a play this year! I will!
I think this is a great idea, although I would only do it as an exercise. Would you keep to the date constraints they suggest, or could we give ourselves a little longer if we're only doing it as an exercise?

I am open for it to be one month if it is just an excercise in AW. What do you guys think?

Here are the details. ( I copied them over to this thread)

writers to submit one-act plays (no longer than 15 minutes) based on the following concept:

3:54 AM on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. One apartment building. Each apartment has it's own story. What is going on behind closed doors at 3:54 AM? If you are awake at this time, you are awake for a reason. 3:54 is neither morning nor night. Neither today nor tomorrow. Are you just getting home? Are you having trouble sleeping? Are you alone? Are you with company? The possibilities are endless.

OK Here are the rules for the exercise.

Follow the guidelines above for the topic & length.

The deadline for the exercise is midnight Aug. 31st. If you want to submit to the actual person then you only have until the 15th of Aug.

However you can not post in SYW (Playwriting) UNTIL Sept. 1st. Then everyone who takes part can submit in/under one thread. You can submit as many as you write.

I don't mind you giving me comments but if you really don't want any comments: Write that at the top of your post AND others please respect their wishes.

How does that sound?

Kevvers.

I sat down to write a play about the your challenge but it ended up being a very different play. I'll share it but it isn't in an apartment.
