Quoted from DustinBowcot What is the bloodlist?

The Blood List was created in 2009 to bring attention to unproduced dark genre screenplays in circulation. A calendar year for a script to be considered runs from October 31st to the following October 31st, and is released each Halloween. Voting is done by over 100 executives, managers, and agents, and once the ballot is calculated, only the top 13 dark scripts of the year make the cut. It has also become a resource for dark genre producers searching for the perfect material, and some snatch their next project here first.

Thanks you two. That seems up my street.

This style of writing lacks soul, IMO. I don't get "immersed" in it. I'm not invested. It's like reading an advertisement for something. You understand what it's about, then it's over.

Yet, he's done what everyone in here wants to?

Fair play to the guy.

All credit to him/her.

I actually write my rough drafts in similar fashion. Very brief. Get to the point. It is a screenplay, not a novel, remember.
You picture the scene, get the point. You don't need anything else. A few directors told me they just appreciate scripts written like this. I don't think I'm gonna argue.

Don't write for other writers.

Simple. Clear. To the point.
This passage achieves that.

To each his/her own.

I found it to be a very fast read. Faster than normal, which is always a good thing. And he made it on the Bloodist

Plus, the guy is working on a min by min page. I think the writer has worked it out well.
Unlike some people who just throw everything in...

Kind of ridiculous to mock a writer who knows what he's doing, but I know that's not
foreign. Everyone's an expert, right? We all know how to scare us?
Ridiculous.

I hope the writer works on this, I think it wiil turn out well. Keep going man. Don't ever let anyone keep you down.

Quoted from Scoob Kind of ridiculous to mock a writer who knows what he's doing, but I know that's not foreign. Everyone's an expert.

Who is mocking him? The question was, what do people think about this style of writing. Some like it, some don't. It's a discussion.

Yeah, i think it's great.

It's basic writing. I don't like some of it, but that's what we do. We are not just meant to write stories. We are meant to write stories in a quick, efficient manner. I think this guy writes SCREENPLAY very well.

I think you guys are mocking him quite clearly. Just read the above. I don't know the guy, don't care about him, but the reaction is clear.
You think you're above someone that has made themselves a success and you don't like it.  You appear very sour. In fact, everyone does. Maybe that's why he/she's sold their script and you have not?

But no... it has to be bad news. "Awful" "shocking" "I'm so much better".... yeah, OK.

I don't mean just you Marnieml, I mean the whole thread. So sorry if this feels about you, it's not. Sorry!

I think the "writers" on this site sometime become deluded. Egos emerge. Arguments happen. Pointless...

The guy wrote a well written screenplay and everyone on here acts like infants. It's ridiculous.

We act like infants? I was merely asking if this style of writing was a new trend. The script made the Bloodlist so it must have been good. I read up to page 30. That style of writing however, didn't make the read better IMHO. It felt weird and looked weird on the page. I was wondering how others felt about it...

I think the repsonse was infantile, yes.

To cruelly mock someone's work like that without reply. It's just not right.

The writer had no right of reply. It just does not stick right with me,and why you even brought it up is something I can't quite understand.

Well, if you're one of those who studies screenwriting and "trends" then you would notice new ways people are writing. I was merely asking what people thought of this style.

Who's mocked anyone? I didn't like this style and I said I hope it doesn't catch on. I'm still getting used ti 'ing words....

The writer had no right of reply???? Therefore we shouldn't discuss?  

I'm not mocking you Angry Bear.
I'm just saying I think it's OK.

Blimey.

I think OTHER MEMBERS had a go, and I think it's a bit harsh.

I think the guy can write how he/she likes.

I think the problem with this site, is that everyone copies eachother and becomes clones. Yet, noone will speak about that.

Even reviews - which you gotta ask what is the point of these? No one needs them, they are always negative.
Even if it's a great script, I would find something negative... it just negates the whole system.
The only point of positive is recognition from  someone who can help you:
