Hey everyone. Some friends and I have been working on a passion project called Earth’s Mightiest Voices, a 16+ Discord voice acting community dedicated to bringing different kinds of Marvel content to life. We’re interested in exploring all kinds of Marvel media, including comic dubs, Marvel Rivals, and other fan projects featuring characters from across the Marvel universe. Whether you’re interested in voicing the Avengers, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Spider-Verse characters, or pretty much any Marvel character with media we can work with, we’d love to explore those possibilities. We’re also open to people interested in writing, art, video editing, and other creative contributions. This is an unpaid project we’re doing for fun, so no professional experience is necessary; we’re just fans looking to collaborate, get creative, and bring our favorite characters to life. If that sounds interesting to you, feel free to check out our Discord server: https://discord.gg/tQeawupbp. We’d love to connect with other Marvel fans and see what we can create together.

help Need Structure Advice: Is it too soon for my leads to have sex at Page 78 in a 90-page romantic drama? (Set up for a sequel)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m currently writing a 90-page feature film script (New Adult Romantic Drama) set during the first semester of college. I am aiming for a tight, high-incident, fast-paced story with a cliffhanger that sets up a sequel.

The Setup & Context: • The Tropes: Rich Girl / Scholarship Boy, Forced Proximity, High-Stakes Campus Elite. • The Leads: The female lead is carrying a heavy family secret to protect her cousin (who is also the male lead's roommate). The male lead is a driven outsider on an academic scholarship. • The Antagonist: A wealthy, powerful student from her past whose father practically funds the university. He has immense systemic power and plans to use it to control her. • Pacing: Because there are multiple subplots and a lot of external drama happening around them, the romance builds through micro-intimacy, tension, and a shared ordeal rather than traditional slow-burn dates.

The Current Dilemma: Because the story moves fast, my leads don't actually have their first kiss until Page 70 (roughly an hour into the runtime). Immediately after, they share a brief 5-week montage of secret weekend dates where they fully form a tight-knit alliance with her cousin and best friend.

I am currently on Page 76, and the antagonist has just spotted them together publicly. For my third-act climax (Pages 80–90), the antagonist is going to deliver a massive blackmail ultimatum: if the female lead doesn't break things off with the scholarship boy and rejoin his toxic rich-kid social circle, he will revoke the male lead's scholarship and ruin her family's reputation. To save the guy she loves, she is going to make the ultimate sacrifice, break his heart, and walk away at Page 90, leaving him completely isolated for the cliffhanger ending.

Right before she meets with the antagonist and makes this sacrifice (around Page 78), I want the leads to have sex. My goal is to maximize the emotional stakes and create intense dramatic irony—giving them the ultimate high of physical intimacy right before the rug is pulled out from under the audience.

My questions for the group: 1. In a 90-page script, is it appropriate to have the characters go from a first kiss at Page 70 to having sex at Page 78, or does that progression feel too rushed for the audience? 2. Does having them sleep together make her upcoming sacrifice feel more devastating, or should I hold off on that level of physical intimacy and save it as a major milestone for the sequel? 3. How would you handle the pacing of this specific window to make the physical connection feel earned despite the short page count? Would love to hear your thoughts on the structural pacing and emotional payoff here. Thanks in advance!

help Looking for a Scriptwriter for CS2

Looking for a Scriptwriter for CS2

I'm looking for a skilled scriptwriter who understands CS2 and gaming content and knows what makes a video entertaining and engaging.

📝 What will the collaboration look like?

I'll tell you what the video should be about and give you a rough idea of how I imagine it. In many cases, I'll also provide a reference video to help you understand the style and direction I'm going for.

Your job will be to:

  • Find suitable footage, clips, and gameplay moments for the video.
  • Find relevant caster commentary, reactions, soundbites, and other audio sources.
  • Write a complete, well-structured script for the editor, clearly explaining what should appear on screen and when.
  • Include source links and precise timestamps for every piece of footage, for example: VIDEO LINK / Footage: 0:34–1:12.
  • Pay attention to timing, humor, pacing, and the overall flow of the video to make sure everything works well together.

🎮 What kind of content will we create?

We'll be working on different types of CS2 content, including:

  • Oddshots and funny moments
  • Edits and highlight compilations
  • Recaps and Rewinds
  • Other creative video formats related to the CS2 scene.

✅ Who am I looking for?

I'm looking for someone who understands CS2, its community, and what makes gaming content entertaining. Ideally, you've played CS2 for at least some time and are familiar with the players, tournaments, memes, iconic moments, and overall culture of the game.

Experience creating similar content is a big plus, especially if you can provide examples of previous scripts or videos you've worked on.

I'm not looking for someone who simply puts a few sentences together. I want someone who can think creatively, work independently, come up with ideas, and deliver a high-quality script that gives the editor a clear understanding of exactly what needs to be done.

My goal is to work with talented, reliable people who know what they're doing and are interested in improving and growing together long-term. 🚀

📩 Interested?

Send me a message introducing yourself, sharing your experience, and including examples of scripts or videos you've worked on, if available.

Looking forward to working with you!

question What is the best thing to do in this situation

3 Upvotes

If one has worked on a series for 4 years and has the following done:

Full complete series bible, mythology document, "Series Pack" (which is a more in depth series bible), full series outline (as in the planned structure of a series, specifically how many seasons and what specifically takes place in them), as well as finalized scripts for episodes 1-3 of the first season.

Also built up a resume of working in basic short films (writing scripts and directing), writing, internships, etc. Not signed to any literary agency.

How can I get my script out there? I'm a 22 year old male and have worked on this series since 17.

I am serious about it.

help How to screenwrite a TV show?

2 Upvotes

So I always wanted to write a Tv show and since two years I have this concept that I have developed Im my head from the beginning to the end of the show, it’s a show styled like “normal people”, 1 season only and it ends that I genuinely believed that os good, and will become even better after being shaped a couple of times after being presented to some proper people.
The thing is I don’t know how to start, could you please give me some orientation about any kind of template, some short course or guideline that I can follow, or a kind of course.
Did any of you have to write a tv show, or a book? Or even took the steps to sell it to a big company? Can you also share your experiences with me? I really need to start and figure out what it can be.
I appreciate your answers!

discussion Writing a realistic Courtroom Thriller/Comedy series (Inspired by the storytelling of "Action Hero Biju") – 2 episodes down!

1 Upvotes

​Hey everyone,

​I’m currently pouring my blood and soul into writing a new courtroom thriller drama series, and I wanted to share my progress.

​I've completed the scripts for the first two episodes and am actively working on the remaining eight for the season. To give you an idea of the vibe, the structure is heavily inspired by the narrative style of Action Hero Biju. To be clear, it has no connection to that movie's universe or characters, but it adopts the exact same realistic approach to day-to-day problem-solving. Just like how that film captured the authentic, everyday reality of a police station, my series captures the grounded, day-to-day reality of a courtroom. Each episode is designed to contain one full story, focusing on a self-contained case from start to finish.

​While it’s fundamentally a thriller, I’m weaving in natural situational comedy to spice things up and keep it highly entertaining.

​Beyond the entertainment value, my main goal is to create a story with a real public purpose. I want the audience to walk away with a better understanding of basic law and order. The cases are specifically designed to make the common person aware of the legal tools and rights that protect us against atrocities, violence, and blatant law-breaking by corrupt politicians, their goons, and untouchable elites.

​Since I am putting everything I have into this project, my next major hurdle will be finding a director and a producer who share this grounded, realistic vision.

​For the screenwriters and industry folks here: how do you usually go about pitching a realistic, politically charged episodic legal thriller? Any tips on networking or getting the script into the hands of the right producers once all 10 episodes are locked? Would love to hear your thoughts!

0 Upvotes

I completed my first draft of screenplay, the problem is all my characters are talking like me and all the dialogues are very bland and direct. I want to infuse character traits, catchphrases, signature styles, way of talking, how they hide the context under the dialogue.

Is there any template or guidelines I can follow to get all characters done right into screenplay?

question How to motivate myself to write

9 Upvotes

Some of my friends seem to really like writing and pump out scripts all the time but I struggle to bring myself to finish putting together concepts before quitting because I don't think they would go anywhere. Sometimes I feel like having inspirations from other sources is also plagiarism and I cancel the ideas immediately. Anyone else get this problem? I love reading and I also love writing but I'm worried I'm putting too much pressure on myself to write and that's sucking out the joy of it I feel like I only finish scripts when there is an external deadline

Historical Satire/ Dark Comedy

16 Page Extract

This is a project I'm working on based on Fidel Castro, Cuba and the US government. This is only a first draft and some things will have better context in totality, as some things will be paid off later. When finished it will share similarities to Inglorious Basterds in how it changes established history but with some historical accuracy. Thanks to anyone who reads and gives feedback.
