Xillix Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 All right! Sorry to hear but hey, it'll just mean extra time to spit-polish for Y2. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It's possible I may need an hour or two past the deadline to polish up Voltron but I'm working as hard as I can. I'm on the third act right now and I'm telling you, the thing is long (and still a very abridged version of the first season of the Netflix series).

Xillix Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 Sounds like you're running into the problem Shyamalan had with The Last Airbender Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) Voltron's done. My fucking god. I haven't even done a word count yet. I'm kinda scared to do it. Edited September 12, 2017 by cookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) 11,912 words. Better than I expected, but still the craziest writing session I've ever had to endure (and that includes Scrooge McDuck where I spent half a day rewriting the third act since I lost it before the deadline).

cookie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm happy about how the third act turned out though. Completely over-the-top, just the way I like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xillix Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 To be completely honest I don't think I have the energy to write up detailed reviews for everything. I'm probably gonna do little one or two sentence "pull quotes" with star ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you make a movie like Kansas where one to two sentence reviews are thrown out the window Edited September 12, 2017 by Rorschach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'm hoping my output is much better in Year 2. I blame the lack of films coming from me on the fact that I really didn't have a plan going into Year 1 about what I wanted to write, and I ended up slacking off on a lot of major films that I really wanted to write because they seemed daunting. Writing in general kinda takes the energy out of me but I often have a really good idea of what I want my finished products to look like (for example, I had a couple of ideas for Sonic that I really liked and really wanted to put on "paper", but I ended up just getting bored with the bits and pieces in-between). A ton of my stuff that didn't get finished this year will be getting released in Year 2, but some of the stuff I'll just throw out because they were never really interesting ideas to begin with.
