What's the difference between a screenplay and a short fiction?

Uhm... does it have to be one page EXACTLY for the short fiction, or can you go a few lines over or under? A word limit might be better because then there's no quibbles over the font size/line spacing.

I'm SOOOO all over this, BUT - I have to ask, what do you use to tell how much is a page, etc etc? I want to be able to know I'm within the correct boundaries before I post anything.

- Also, as a separate blog entry? Or right here as a comment?

*very specific person*

Answers to questions:

Post it as a new post.

For the 1-pager fiction, write it on a page with a 1-inch margin on all sides. Use courier in 12-point.

Do not go over the one-page limit for the shrot story. Slightly under is fine.

For those of you don't know the difference between a screenplay and a short story, my V3 script is a screenplay (what screenwriters write for movies). When I say "short story" I mean to write it like a regular novel. So you have 2 options.

If you don't know how to format or write a screenplay, now is not a good time to try. Just go ahead and write the 1-pager short story.

Good luck all!

............ Are we allowed to try both? >_>

YES I can write! No more pressure for comics XD

Uhm... got another question I'm afraid Prof... it's Courier New (the one that comes with Word) you want us to use, right? *wants to get cracking on Dot, Bot and Lens VS Avatar Enzo*

You bet I'm participating!

I am all over this. I am on this like nulls on Hexadecimal. Like stubble on Matrix. Like some other equally unappealing simile.

Dumb question time. Someone recently posted the blow-by-blow version of the Arrival outline. I believe it was more in-depth than the one in the pitch section, but I can't be sure because I can't see the pitches on my home computer because of the Flashturbation. Could someone post a link to the blow-by-blow here, if it is indeed more than is in the pitch section?

Yes, can we try both? *pleads*
