Writing partners!

Hi there, Frenzies! My name is Chris, and I'm one of the people behind the scenes here helping out with the Young Writers Program. And I've got some great news! A key new piece of the Script Frenzy machinery is now in the house. Yep: The partnering module is up and running. If you want to officially partner with another Script Frenzy participant, now's the time.

Just click the Edit tab on your Writer Profile. From there, find the "Writer Info" tab, where you'll see a magical new box where you can enter another Script Frenzy writer's username (hint: type slowly and let our auto-fill robots find the name for you). Once you've found your partner, just select him or her, and scroll down to the bottom of the page and hit Submit.

As soon as your writing partner does the same for you, you'll both be linked. Partners photos appear on each other's profiles (aww…), and when you enter a word count (starting June 1), your partner's word count will automatically update as well.

You can "unpartner" just by clearing your partner's name from your Writer Info tab. This will be true from late tonight until June 15th, at which point partnerships will be fused forever, like Han Solo in carbonite. Except really forever. Or at least until the next Script Frenzy. :)

Just a few hours until fade-in! Best of luck everyone!

Chris
