i read the RT davies book about writing DR who, a decent read. i enjoyed it.
is there a format here for our greastest scribes?
we have enjoyed the creations of so many would it be possible for one editor to put together a similar compendum of things to the writers tale format.
how a script is made,the notes to artists,the rewrites, the pressure on the nerve centre editors and so on.
Something similar in this book DD.
I have it and it's an interesting read.

I was just gonna recommend the same book! It's well worth a read DD.
There's a second volume which is also well worth checking out.

Do the various Dredd scribes agree on arcs and character progressions does anyone know? Or is it that everyone just runs it past John Wagner and he gives it the OK as long as it doesn't mess with his plans? I know how it works with Mister Who Space detective but comic writing with teams always seemed mysterious to me.
sounds like a good book
i shall be placing an order in the local purveyors of such things this week.
thanks as always board.
still i would like to see a 2000ad version.
Quote from: "Judge Snoop"Do the various Dredd scribes agree on arcs and character progressions does anyone know? Or is it that everyone just runs it past John Wagner and he gives it the OK as long as it doesn't mess with his plans? .
I'd imagine it's more likely to be run past , Matt Sm- oops, I mean Tharg. As editor it's his role to make sure everything fits and that writing doesn't contradict John Wagner's story. He would have access to future stories and he could consult the writer(s) concerning future things yet to be submitted.
