Ethan Hunt Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 17 minutes ago, El Squibbonator said: Thanks for clearing that up. Although, I do want to give other creators a chance to breathe, since there's a limited number of slots left. There's not really a limited number of slots. Nothing wrong with multiple films releasing on the same day. Obviously you're not pressured to fill the schedule by yourself either. It's really just however much you want to put into it in any given year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 @El Squibbonator Yeah, the number of films we write can definitely pass those slots! I have ten films in the submission thread and counting, so yeah, you don't have to be shy about it! XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 21 hours ago, SLAM! said: @El Squibbonator Yourmother's list is simply an indicator of dates that need another release to be placed on that date; when it says "1 film needed", it's saying 1 film other than Frankenstein Jr., and the other films (Speed and Folklore) are films previously planned for that date which may or may not fulfill that specific slot. In short, Frankenstein Jr. is still set for August 9th, but if you do make more films for this year, you can use that list to help you choose a date for films you might write! I didn’t see Frankenstein Jr on the calendar which I based my list off of, and thought it was scheduled on 8/23 for some reason but I edited my list and fixed it. That was my mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddroast Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 So as I need 2-3 weeks to finish my major projects 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCKillswitch123 Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Superficially, I am done with my slate, as I wanted to bank on a movie a month (in a few cases two) so as to not overcrowd the schedule with my stuff. However, I am planning on doing maybe two or three more fillers just to further pad things out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAM! Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I officially propose March 22nd as the final deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think the best choice of submission date should be Monday, April 5th as I don’t think most of us would get our material done on time within 2-3 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My compromise date would be March 29th. You know what, maybe April 5th; I wouldn't prefer April 5th, but if a lot of people want that date, then it's fine.

Rorschach Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I'd say a deadline of either March 29th or April 5th works fine for now. I've been meaning to try and get back into writing for a while now but this semester is already looking to be a doozy for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 (edited) I'd like until at least Easter Monday since it's the only time in the near future where I'll get days off from work. Edited February 22, 2021 by cookie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted February 22, 2021 Author Share Posted February 22, 2021 Easter Monday is April 5 so I'm good with the final drop dead deadline being between then and the 12th. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Are we allowed to submit a movie that is described as an adaptation in-universe, but whose "source material" is completely fictional? Like, say I wanted to make a movie that's based on a book, but the book only exists in the CAYOM-verse. Is that allowed? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it'd be allowed hypothetically But I recommend just making it an "original" story since it's a bit simpler that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Squibbonator Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Well, part of the reason I'm asking is because I was wondering whether in-universe audience awareness of the property (fictional or otherwise) would have an impact of the movie's success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't since there's no way to gauge its in-universe popularity apart from the film itself. Better to just make it an original film.

It probably wouldn't impact too much since in the CAYOM-verse, moviegoers absolutely love original films and will flock to them if they're good! Adaptations with inherently limited interest make like over a billion worldwide sometimes. Yeah, a good film will be successful whether it's a property audiences are aware of or if it's an original--so you can definitely have it be an original, and it'd probably make the same (or a very similar) amount it would if it were adapted! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YM! Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 @Blankments suggested a deadline date of May 2nd. I kind of like the idea as it’s neat summer break for most of us and which should make entry into Y9 more accessible and fast if we have Y8 scheduled during the summer. I’d also have more time to do actuals this year. However, we only need 29 films for release but most of the films leftover are films people haven’t finished writing and very excited to write. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 (edited) Unless there's any objections, it looks like Sunday, May 2nd will be the new Year 8 deadline. If that's cool with you, just like this post (don't worry, not a shameless ploy to get likes, it's only so I don't get a bunch of response posts like "yes" or "that's alright") Edited February 23, 2021 by Alpha 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
