A good idea gone wrong

Well, we've had write-a-novel-in-a-month celebrations -- why not with plays and screenplays? This is what Script Frenzy aims to do.

Unfortunately, they blew it with their rules. They define a complete script as at least 20,000 words. I checked the word count of my last three feature length screenplays: 14,008, 14,500 and 13,924. They want almost 50% more verbosity in a very economical writing genre! This serves to encourage same, which is a very unprofessional attitude to take. They should measure scripts by page counts, not word counts. Otherwise, shame on them.
