Hey Guys
I've been patrolling some script writer websites and came across something interest posted by dave crane. I tried it and
found it to be tons of fun so I thought the writters here on the forums might enjoy giving it a try as a new comp?
just to give you a new toy to play around with syles and scenography etc.
Its basicly a challenge for writers that focuses on the images they envision.

I take it a new panel for each caption is ideal but feel free
to describe how panels can merge together, so long as the
captions gets merged in too.
Here are the captions as Provided by Crane:
Quote
CAPTION:My early years are lost in the mist forever.
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 2
CAPTION:All I can recall is a vast, comforting presence that surrounded me.
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 3
CAPTION:As I grew, I became aware of these guardians as other from me, and I rebelled.
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 4
CAPTION:In hindsight, I can see that they intended only the best for me...
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 5
CAPTION:...but it is necessary to separate in order to grow.
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 6
CAPTION:My exploits are now the stuff of legend among my kind, but at the time, I was just surviving, learning as I went along.
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 7
CAPTION:It's lonely at the top. But although I look down upon you all
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 8
CAPTION:I remember my own humble origins, and remind myself every day
[Insert description of panel here]
Panel 9
CAPTION:You're my people. We're all in this together.

(captions taken from Millarworld.com )
Just to add a bit of interest, the rules of this challenge allow you to change the text in any one panel to whatever you like. That's not mandatory, if you want to include all 9 captions as is, its all good.
Have fun!
EXTRA RULEZ: anyone can give this a try. please keep it vivid and in line with the captions so it makes sense, try not to ramble and try stick to one post only. Remember this is writting that emphasizes drama in your scenes much like a graphic Novel or a well written
movie script.
BENEFITS: Id like two judges (writter and/or artist) to help me select the best idea at the end of next week.
The final selection will be worked up for the winner into page turner format by me and any interested member
of the Malazan artist group.
any genre is welcome as is any fan based written work.
