* ChandlersLaw - "If all else fails, have a [[GratuitousNinja band of ninjas]] attack somebody" was humorous (but sage) advice for writers at a loss for material to further their script's page count, much like it is in Nano for wordcount.

* ConstrainedWriting
* CosmeticAward - The first and foremost prize for completing Script Frenzy was ... the mere satisfaction of completing one's script. And a golden/red pagecount meter.
* [[ItsForABook It's For A Script]] - One of the few forums you could ask how to kill someone and not get a call from the police.
* NotCheatingUnlessYouGetCaught - Actually, much like in Nano, no one really cared if you did.

* {{Portmantitle}} - The nickname 'Screnzy'.
* RuleNumberOne - 100 pages, 30 days, any properly formatted script. Also, "have fun"
* SelfImposedChallenge - As if writing 100 pages in 30 days wasn't enough of one already, some Screnziers set a personal goal of more, though this was much less common than at UsefulNotes/{{Nanowrimo}}.
* ThereAreNoRules - Any subject matter, any scripted media.
** In 2010, one participant wrote a 4th Ed D&D Campaign.
* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants - Like Nanowrimo: No Plot, No Problem.
