Laying down the law

I'm trying to come up with a minimum number of effective rules and guidelines to keep people on the right track and having an enjoyable time. So these are a start...we've got plenty of time. Feel free to comment.

1. Honor system. You report what you write. The goal is 30 sketches, 30 days.

2. For the most part, a sketch can be whatever a sketch means to you - but still have that sketch feeling, if you know what I mean. So, while there aren't restrictions on length, a 30-page screenplay isn't what we're shooting for. The sketch should be a piece that can stand on its own for better or worse, not a chapter or act in a larger work. But if it's one in a series of sketches featuring Uncle Slappy or whatever character you've created, that's fine. Like the finest minds of the Supreme Court have held, you'll know it when you see it.

3. Don't be a dick. For people who choose to share a sketch for whatever reason, no negative, dicky comments. It takes a lot of stones to put your work up in front of talented people, so respect that. If someone asks for feedback (positive or negative), again, see "don't be a dick" - you can be critical without being a dick.

Apparently I like the word "dick." My apologies.
