Why not have another week for concept finalizing..? (Friday - Friday) We make an announcement and try to make it visible. Poll could open on Saturday and get done pretty quickly (3 days open time or something like that) - closing on monday.

Why not do the poll and then see how or who will write? I'm guessing some people will be eager to work on certain ideas whilst they don't want to work on others.

Yup, if it's possible limit the votes to 5 and have a simple yes / no selection.

Good let's do this poll!

Yes, it is time to write screenplays.

May be really use one author for each variant and make him submit one short story concept. And only after this make any voting? Cut 50% of stories. make remaining authors expand and detail their story. Another vote and another cut. To make things more interesting you can get $50 from each candidate author on each stage. And one who'll win will take the bank. :-)

I'd just like to underline that have been passed like three months and we're still discussing for the methods of voting for the prototype of a concept of a script for the screenplay. I vote for less democracy and more authority like: just vote the preferred concept and the official writer(s) of the screenplay will take into account the opinions of all by reading at past (and future) polls.

We already have our concepts. It is not possible to write an entire story just to let them be submitted to a vote. We follow a weird scheme until now and i personally don't know how we could go ahead in this way. Maybe voting the concepts and applying the limitations underlined by the last poll. Really i don't know

I think there was a few useful things that we learned from the last survey. The most interesting I found was that Every person speak his/her own language (lot of subtitles) got a high mark

also : the story contains multiple protagonists scored high

• those kind of ideas can actually have an effect on the writing whatever the final story is ultimately chosen.

and some of lower scoring ones like "A contemporary class war story" & The figure of a scientist who helps the main character throughout the film but still seems suspicious. people seemed to unanimously dislike for some reason. ha ha

I don't think it was ever the intention to write a script collaboratively by voting on (Story ELEMENTS )... but to vote on story Concepts/Synopsis/Loglines and choose a shortlist then ultimately one or two that would be written by a qualified writer or writing team.

I think the next vote on Potential Story Ideas will be a lot more progressive in moving us forward.

I agree, any creative project by committee is doomed. Just look at the standard of design in the London Olympics (the logo, the condom-like mascots) to realise this.

I am optimistic about collaboration but not committees. Separate roles of collaborators is a good thing. A committee is mud.

Guys, this way of behave, like to vote everything many times and subdivided in small concepts will make us failthis project.

Hey guys just an update from my side, there have been several conversations going with various writers who are interested in helping out and kicking around some story ideas. I just put a new story idea up on the concepts page the other day. We should probably set a deadline for the next round of voting sometime soon and nudge the story process forward. Any suggestions for a date to have story submissions in by? and how we would like those formatted for the vote? It might be good to have some comments from everyone on the results of our last poll and what what we found interesting about our results. What conclusions can we draw from that Poll?

sorry for the silence, @all

I am preparing for my move to Los Angeles

that plug in looks interesting
