Script Frenzy Plotting

I was about to type this into my twitter box, then realised it was probably too long and better suited to be a blog post. And then I'll be able to find it later.

To get you up to speed I've decided that for Script Frenzy (which starts in 3 hours and thirty five-ish minutes):
1. I'm writing comic book scripts.
2. That they're about sentient pants.
3. The pants exist in a post-apocalyptic world. There are remnants of human society all around that aren't really discussed or anything in the words, but perhaps appear in the pictures. I sort of want humans to be a vague, indirect influence. I mean, they're pants, they wouldn't exist unless humans had existed and created them.
4. The stories will revolve around fables that star pants.
5. *new, and the point of this blog post* There will be an old wizened pair of pants that tells tales (i.e. fables) of pants before they came to have knowledge. Kind of like creation myths. Like how our world used to be this fantastical place where gods roamed around and now it's just this. Instead, it's the pants where people roamed around, and the pants now. But still, without any actual mentioning of people, because the story's about pants and not people. And besides, it's like pants were asleep, and now they're not.
6. I guess this is Sci-Fi and set in the future. Madness... I should make a title page or something... Nah, I'm too tired.

I don't know why I decided to write comic books instead of like a play or a tv show or something, but I think I'll give it a good whack. After all, I already know that I can pretty much knock out a whole script in two days. That's what last year's Frenzy taught me. It was not a good script, it is definitely not something I would give to someone else to read. Unlike my first script from Script Frenzy.

Please tell me I didn't unknowingly plagiarise this from somewhere else. It's too cool and weird and I like it too much (which is totally awesome because it means I'm excited to start).

Haha, I have certainly never heard anything remotely like this, which is what makes it so totally awesome.
