The writers' real names are listed with the scripts when posted.  We don't know what their user names are.

That's actually an option Dogglebe (Another of my bright ideas) but Don made it optional which only the bulk of us regulars actually use or know what it is.

It's on the submit a script part.

And Lon I always seem to come off as an ass but I mean everything I say in a sincere honest way, I don't try to cause problems it just happens because the internet is hard to convey emotions.

I've had that problem before myself, Wes -- hard to inflect when you're dealing with text in a box.

Quoted from Lon

Takeshi, thanks for the offer.  The only scripts I have posted on SimplyScripts are linked to in my signature below - both have gone through numerous rewrites since their respective post dates, but I'd be thrilled to hear any comments you may have on the drafts that are here.


No worries Lon, I'll read Wrath of God and get back to you in a week or so.

Maybe it shouldn't be an option....

Quoted from Lon
Now, ponder this; who's to say these members who never post aren't just waiting for someone to comment on their stuff?  Who's to say they don't reply to anyone else's scripts because they don't feel they have the know-how to, or that they'd be showing their lack of screenwriting knowledge?  And how are they ever going to get the knowledge to intelligently comment on another's script, if no one's taken the time to point out the mistakes in theirs?  



Probably everyone feels this way when they join, Lon.  You still have to get over it.  Having scripts by newbies, as well as the experienced people here allows a different perspective on the script.

And a great way to learn how to critique here is to read a script and see if you feel the same way other the others who critiqued it.

You don´t need advanced screenwriting knowledge to post a review. Everyone who watches movies can tell you which one he liked or hated and why.

Of course, having screenwriting knowledge would help you to post a "better" review. But if you tell a writer you´re a beginner, and still post an honest review, I think the writer would appreciate it nontheless.

I personally find any review to be worthwhile since everyone has their own perspectives about things, especially movies. Someone who is a beginner might comment on some aspect of your story that doesn't appeal to them personally, and it could be something the old fogies would completely overlook, but be a legitimate point.

Hehe it feels weird coming here and seeing that every board is been taken off except for this one and the scripts. But now I can read people's scripts! Well, that is if I have the time too...

Just read the short ones if time is an issue, that's my plan. I'll just print up a bunch and read a few each night before I go to sleep.
