Big Finish writing opportunity

[ghost2]

Everyone knows about this chance to develop a Fifth Doctor & Nyssa audio story, right? Who all is submitting something? I decided I might as well give it a try. Of course, first I have to come up with a good idea and then flesh it out, revise, proofread, and all of that.

I already printed out and read the instructions, which seem very straightforward: don't do this, format like this, etc. As long as I follow directions, I figure my submission won't land in the bin on the first round. If I use spellcheck and proofread, it should make it past the second round as well. Other than that, well, I think I'd better start brainstorming and come up with a great concept.

Also, in reading the BF boards, I'm a bit amazed that people are having so much trouble holding their summaries to five hundred words. That's the length of a decent ficlet!

The positives here are that I currently feel reasonably capable of writing Five and Nyssa, I have free time this week to come up with ideas, and I think that a lot of other people won't bother to follow the directions. That said, I'll probably end up submitting a cracktastic proposal. But at least it'll be a cracktastic proposal with proper grammar.

I do get the feeling that despite the guidelines they're going to get an awful lot of Daleks/Cybermen/Black Guardian stories with casts of thousands.

I do like how they say on the BF forum that the person reviewing the submissions will be ruthless. :)
