About this script
A tiny book club discovers they have been reading different books. twelve messages, Discord style, about 39 seconds as a video, and Rune kicks it off with "Welcome to book club. Page 200?". The cast is Rune, Seren and Tobi, all invented. That is three people, so a paid plan is needed to show everyone. No upgrade is needed to try Discord.
Pacing it beat by beat
Start slow with "Welcome to book club. Page 200?" and "Page 200 of what?". The longest line is message 6, "The cookbook has a villain in it.", at 7 words, so it needs extra screen time.
Speed up at message 10 ("It is 'The Pie At Midnight'."), keep "I have a different book." short on screen, and let "It is the best book club ever." sit. Two lines in the script are questions.
Making the video
Open The Library Book Club in the editor and the Discord look is already chosen. Discord comes with typing dots, reactions and an online status in the editor, but not read marks. Typing dots ahead of the final message make it feel live.
Four messages load on a Free account (the last is "We are reading the romance."), eight more on a paid one. Add a fiction label to the caption.
Part two hook
Next episode: the group discovers there is only one copy of the book. Close this one on "It is the best book club ever.", write Part 2 in the caption, and answer the first comment with a hint, not the answer.
Tips
- Time yourself reading "The cookbook has a villain in it."; cut words until it sits easily.
- Let "It is the best book club ever." hang for a beat longer than the other bubbles.
- Swap Rune and Seren for new invented names to make a version that is yours.
- Aim to release Part 2 within a day or two of this one.
- Place "Page 200 of what?" on its own for a full second after the opener.
