Boy, some people over there act like they're real experts. I bet none of them could write a script as good as Dave's.

Second that.

Man, I don't get that website.
Could someone please guide me. Last time Shawn (I think) helped me when one of hours got there. I read The Last Statement. It's one of my favorite works of Dave's and one of my favorites period. Really great script. I want very much to be able to vote.

I read those comments. I wish I knew them, what sort of people are they? It's so weird to say the stuff they say there.

I have no idea how to vote there. I logged in, but again, forgot how to navigate the site and can't figure it out.

Some really snide and facetious comments on Scriptshadow. Yes, they do profess to be experts...

Two-sentence logline just says "I'm not a good enough writer to do it in one."
Really? How pathetic.
And another derisive comment without reading the script no doubt.

Dave, did you leave your email off the script?

I'm right behind you Dave but your blurb did read a little soft or at least short on further details. I think it would help to add your Page credentials and 'sell' the script a bit more. Not enough there imho to show what a quality writer you are.

Perhaps you're not around yet, and I notice Carson called for last minute candidates but if I were you I'd get on there, update the draft (include email) and answer some of your critics.

Apart from that, producers read that site as they do this one so contact email added for sure would be a good idea, and I know I'm preaching to the converted btw.

Libby, did you manage to submit a vote over there? Because I can't!

Kham, Shawn's script ' What Doesn't Kill You (working title) was on there, and it got a [xx] worth the read.

You need to sign up on the 'join the discussion' or sign up with Disqus to cast your vote/ comment, and the votes are tallied.

* I'm giving it a go now.
Will let you know.

Thanks, Libby.

I'm in, I can post the comments, and I did, but I don't see how to vote. Ok, will be waiting for your instructions.

I'm having trouble getting in with Disqus error. Will try again later.

Kham,  I'm a lurker on Scriptshadow for quite some time so know that all you need to do is post a comment on the thread and clearly state: my vote is for The Last Statesman.

Scott, a regular on the site, usually tallies the votes.

P.S. I can't see where you posted. Perhaps a delay with new contributors. ?

Yeah, I can't see my comment either and I posted over an hour ago. It showed "on hold for the approval" but it disappeared.
Thanks, I'll do what you told me. And will read the first ten of other scripts, too.

Wow - thanks all - the support level is so cool!

Quoted Text Dave, did you leave your email off the script?

I did. Need to correct that for all my scripts. I have been spoiled by the fact that they are hosted on sites (here, mine and CJ's) and ergo contact has not been an issue. However - should put on the scripts.

Quoted Text Perhaps you're not around yet, and I notice Carson called for last minute candidates but if I were you I'd get on there, update the draft (include email) and answer some of your critics.

Yep - just got back -  it was a last minute submittal - hence the brevity. I do plan on responding to some of the comments.

Thanks again all - you guys rock.

That's the thing about Scriptshadow. I like reading the comments over there and I'll get involved in one-on-one conversations from time to time, but in a vacuum, the place has an air of "cult" about it. Carson's articles used to be really well-thought out and informative and they were good tips, but it's not the way it used to be. He's gone back to the well on too many things, he seems to be pushing scripts and movies which aren't all that good while disregarding ones that seem to be of a higher quality and it's like some of the other commenters go along with it like yes men. It's like he's become obsessed with these systems he's come up with (GSU, in-and-out, etc) and if a script doesn't fall into a narrow package, it's no good. It's just always seemed a bit strange to me.

If I make an account can I join in or is it only for regular members?

Congrats, Dave.

I don't really know a lot, or anything about Scriptshadow but more expose can only be a good thing.

I did read through all the comments. Some are completely idiotic. I love that you've kept your composure through some of the madness.

We all know you're a fantastic writer and I truly believe it's becoming a when as opposed to an if you get picked up for big things.
