I think it's worth mentioning that I both love and hate this month's script. I have obsessed over it, lost sleep over it and ruthlessly enjoyed beating it into submission. It's also worth mentioning this script contains references to extreme nudity. So consider yourself warned.
It started out as an idea playing around with meta-fiction, then I saw an old interview with Alan Moore talking about Intelligent erotica and somehow this story leaked out of my head onto the page. I really want someone to illustrate this probably more than any of the other scripts. But that could just be ego talking. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
Short Notice #6: Words Made Flesh (Download script here)
This story explores the power of words, or rather the perception of the power of words as a writer tries to conjure inspiration for his books.
As always feel free to message me or leave comments and I look forward to seeing you back here on April 5th.
Stay awesome!

All I ask is if you use the scripts, that I get sent a copy of the finished piece to post here on the site and of course that I get a writing credit when or where ever the work is used to showcase your work.
Short Notice #5
Sweet zombie jesus! What a delay. Since last we spoke a laptop died, scripts lost, tears wept, a goat sacrificed, Cthulhu summoned, and a small child learnt the true meaning of Xmas. But everything is back to normal... For now.
As for this months script I have mixed feelings. I wanted to adapt something into a comic so I picked an Inuit story that I thought would fit five pages. Not sure I've done it justice, maybe it needs an artists touch.
Short Notice #5: Crow Brings The Sun (Download script here)
This is a piece of Inuit folklore about an eternal night and how sunlight came to the north.
See you on March 5th! (Cthulhu willing)
Stay awesome!

Short Notice #4
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Hopefully you didn't wake up anywhere too strange on January 1st. Anyway, another month another script. I quite like this one it felt easier to write and may be my favorite story so far. As a heads up, this script probably requires more pictorial research than the previous scripts as it uses a few real world settings as well as historical locales. So yeah good luck.
I also want to say thanks to all the people who have emailed saying they like what I'm trying to do with Short Notice and have been kind enough to make suggestions and give great feedback. Enough chatter, the script!
Short notice #4: Jack (Download script here)
Spring heeled Jack, Victorian crime fighter extraordinaire must move fast to stop an unpredictable threat. But is there more (or less) to the story than he can see?
As always feel free to leave a comment or message me via the contact page. See you back here on February 5th.
Stay awesome

Short Notice #3
Sorry this is a few hours later than planned, there were technical issues.
So number here's script number three. I was originally going to to do a Xmas themed script but when I couldn't think of a story I just decided that as long as there's snow in it all will be well. So I wrote a viking story.
I'm not 100% on this one, I was trying to play around with descriptions and dialogue and if I'm honest I think it's a bit of a mess. But I like the story and I learnt a lot from writing this issue, which is why I'm posting it.
Short Notice #3: Blood and Snow (Download script here)
A story about three vikings becoming embroiled in the mystery surrounding the death of their king after they themselves are attacked by shadowy assassins.
As always feel free to leave a comment or message me via the contact page. Have a great Xmas and new year and see you back here on January 5th.
Stay awesome.

Short Notice #1 and #2
So here it is. The very first Short notice. Just as a recap, The idea will be that every month I will post a 5 page comic script for illustrators to use free of charge. The aim is to allow illustrators to get experience and just focus on their art without having to spend hours brainstorming their own ideas as well as allowing me to play with different writing styles in a medium that is totally new to me.
The rules I've stuck to for writing are similar to 2000AD's Future Shocks; five pages and no more than seven panels to a page. In return all I ask is that I get sent a copy of the finished piece to post here on the site and of course that I get a writing credit when or where ever the work is used to showcase your work.
Obviously you're only going to have the script to work from (although feel free to email me if I've written something truly baffling), so in an attempt make it a little easier for you (I hope) and to give you more free reign I've kept chunks of the descriptive elements fairly ambiguous. If that doesn't work let me know and I'll make adjustments next time, but please bare with me, as I've said before I'm used to screenplays so there's going to be a learning curve. Right, so here we go...
Short Notice #1: Forgotten (Download script here)
This piece looks at what happens when a religion start to become mythology, drawing heavily from celtic mythology with a little celtic christianity as well. This being the first comic script I've written there's very little dialogue and has a variety of locations.
Short Notice #2: Memoria Limbo (Download script here)
This is a story about a man unknowingly clearing a debt with his memories and how those memories are then used. This is actually a comic adaptation of a short screenplay I wrote at University. Then, I liked the changes I'd made for the comic version so much that I re-adapted it back into a short screenplay that I'm going to be shooting in the next couple of months.
Feel free to leave a comment, message me via the contact page or just send me an email. I really hope you get something out of this and I can't wait to see some finished pieces.
See you on December 5th!
