Well, right now I'm only trying to figure out if there'd be enough interest to organize a virtual season. I don't think it would actually happen for the next few months anyway, so you'd have enough time to see if RL will allow you to participate or not. :)
The suggestions mentioned above for possible virtual seasons are really only that - suggestions. There are endless possibilities really, and if there's enough interest in a virtual season, I'd go with what most folks are willing or feel comfortable focusing on. :)
(Personally, I think there are still WAY too many stories left to tell, so I'd probably vote for a continuation of canon events. But that's just me. *g*)
As for the episodes of virtual seasons, they are written in regular story form, not script form. They should follow (but don't have to follow) the episode format of teaser - act 1 through 3 or 4 - epilogue. Normally, stories should be about 10K to 15K long. Depending on what the focus is on, each author might have to incorporate a small portion of a pre-planned story arc into their episode (e.g. if we had the music box as our season's story arc, you could write a stand alone story but would be asked to incorporate a short scene in which Mozzie tells Neal that he's been trying to find out information but has been unsuccessful so far).
This sort of thing takes a bit of planning, obviously, but this fandom has made any kind of challenges (from Big Bangs to fic exchanges) so easy until now, I have no worries that getting a virtual season organized won't be a problem. :)
