I just don’t get the point of a training topic. If you don’t want to include her or think she’s causing so much problems, you can just fire her and leave it at that. Not saying that you should do that, because I’m not exactly sure what she’s done to warrant her getting fired.
I made a forum post with like 10 of her offtopic posts, but it got dustbinned along with the rest of the other 26th page before, since it was ENTIRELY offtopic and drama about it

I've been writing stories for about a year. Most of them I got writer's block and couldn't continue, but recently I've gotten over that.

Are you confident in getting accepted?:
Yes

Why:
because I'm
- experienced with writing
- able to quickly cook up a good idea
- very good at using rhombi as the codeword
- extremely good at multitasking
hello! just making sure someone saw this

May I join?
What do you want to be?: Voice actor or animator, don’t mind which (would prefer VA)
How much experience do you have in that? Could you show some examples? (links): https://scratch-mit-edu.ezproxyberklee.flo.org/studios/36030196/
What makes you think you are good for this role?: I have a bit of experience, and just got a new mic (From the brand Rhombi)
Are you confident in getting accepted? I don’t know.
Why: You guys seem pretty far into this, and I’m not sure if this even counts. I don’t have any exceptional examples handy, either.

Scratch Movie: Quest for Bugs

We have a “plot” section in the OP, but that's more like “about the movie”. A plot has an exposition, a rising action, a climax, a falling action, and a resolution.
EXPOSTION The setting is established and the characters set out on their quest.
RISING ACTION The majority of the movie is here. This leads up to the climax.
CLIMAX The turning point of the story. The main problem is resolved or changed.
FALLING ACTION Between the climax and the resolution, I guess.
RESOLUTION The quest is finished. The movie is nearly over. If there is going to be a sequel, it can be hinted at here.
I believe this is what some users were talking about when they said “plot pyramid”. We need some relatively major events throughout the movie, otherwise the movie will be VERY boring. If the characters just find the bugs and say “Oh no, Kaj is sending the bugs from the Banlands for the first time in history!!!!!!1!” and immediately go to the Banlands to defeat Kaj, the “movie” would be 5 minutes long. This is why I suggested my Scratch Labs idea when I first joined the collab.
Like I said, we need major events. This is why I have made this: Snip point - if you are responding to the upper part of the post, snip off the bottom part of the post, and vise versa.
CALLING ALL BRAINSTORMERS!!
We need major events for the plot of the movie, throughout the rising action. I think there should be at least 3-4 major events, although that's up to the directors. We should also have a couple of events in the falling action.
EXPOSTION The protagonists find the bugs and start trying to defeat them.
RISING ACTION In the Forums HQ, the protagoonists find a bug that logs users out. One of the protagonists gets logged out.
RISING ACTION Event needed
RISING ACTION Event needed
RISING ACTION Event wanted
CLIMAX The protagonists go to the Banlands to fight Kaj.
FALLING ACTION Event needed
FALLING ACTION Event needed
RESOLUTION The protagonists go back home after defeating Kaj and the bugs.

How about for the first rising action, they go to the Forum HQ, where there is a bug that causes most people to sign out when they visit the Forums by zapping people, and someone in the group gets zapped?

RISING ACTION scratch cat meets his friends #should definitely be exposition
RISING ACTION they spot bugs in the blocks #should be inciting incident
RISING ACTION they are trying to find the cause #not really that exacting
RISING ACTION they see a crack that leads to the banlands
CLIMAX The protagonists go to the Banlands to fight Kaj.
FALLING ACTION kaj makes chaos #should definitely be part of climax

FALLING ACTION kaj apologizes and he is nicer than ever
RESOLUTION The protagonists go back home after defeating Kaj and the bugs.
Comments are gray and have #
The plot is missing an inciting incident, they should meet up(Exposition), and then find the bugs in some dramatic way.
