(24AUN) Format info
Hey, I just thought I should post this so you understand what I'm talking about--the writing processes and the formatting I use.
First, there were several "phases" of writing on 24: AU.
Phase 1: Typed and handwritten ideas and outlines on 24AU, created between February 2003 and November 2003. Nothing has survived of this phase.
Phase 2: Early outlines and script drafts on 24AU, written between November 2003 and January 1, 2004. Only a few copies remain, and only two text documents remain.
Phase 3: First drafts of the scripts for episodes 1-5, outlines and notes to correspond. All manuscript. Written between January 2004 and April 2004. All documents have survived.
Phase 3.1: An abandoned idea for a separate story The Alternate Versions of 24: Altered Universe, which would have chronicled the writing process of the series. Written in April 2004.
Phase 4: Typescript outlines for episodes 6-8. Written in April 2004.
Phase 5: Handwritten outline for episode 6 through the end. Begun in May 2004, and still active (at episode 13). This includes several typescript drafts of the outlines as well, but the most current version is a handwritten set of papers that number well over 100 as of right now.
Phase 6: 24: Altered Universe- THE COMPLETE OUTLINE. File typed on the computer from August 2004 to present, which will be the final outline for the series. Currently complete to the beginning of ep 3.
Phase 7: The scripts for the show--not yet started.
So I'm working on two different portions of 24AU at the same time right now. Handwritten outlines for the final episode of the series, and a typed outline for the entire series. The handwritten portion is up to about halfway through episode 13. The typed outline is at the beginning of episode 3. I've still got a lot of work ahead of me, but I'm making progress.
Yes, that date said February 2003. That was when I first had the idea to do 24AU. I didn't actually start working on it with any kind of dedication until the end of the year, but yeah, I have been doing this for about a year and a half already. Hopefully it will be up to expectations!
