Out of curiosity I was wondering who's the most prolific writer on this site? Who's got the most features and who's got the most shorts. Has anyone ever done a specific count?

SS usually doesn't promote competition among members. There are certainly some writers who are better than others, but I've never seen people make a habit of creating competition like this. If they did, I doubt SS would have as many members as they do .

No competition whatsoever.  

I was just curious about the "facts".  And the fact is there's one member on this site that has the most features and one member who has the most shorts.  It's that simple.

In that case, I don't think anyone's done a full count. Probably never felt the need for it .

Perfectly legitimate question, however.

Not sure about Features, but I think Helio has the most Shorts.

Provided they are all still up, I am pretty sure he had in excess of 50.

Hit and miss, for sure -- much like his English, sometimes -- but he is a unique storyteller, and much of his work was quite good for those who could overlook minor flaws in language.

Dena (pale yellow) write about a new feature every 2 months.  Leegion seems to write a new feature every single month.

Then there's me...I don't write anymore for some unknown reason.

Just screenplays or produced screenplays? If the latter, Pia seems to get a lot of her work produced from what I see...

Quoted from NickSedario


According to this, Helio has over 50 scripts posted. I'd guess he'd have the high score. Michel seems to be a close second.

Not that it matters. It's quality, not quantity.

I'm going to volunteer that I have the least, even though someone could probably fact-check and discover I have like 3 or 4.

That's kinda not a lot!

I think you misunderstand - it's easy to fling out a heap of work - the OWC shows we can all write a short in a week, but quality is a different thing.

A writer re-writes, so the amount of finished product may be less, but the writing (and re-writing) that went in to it may well be more.

Practice makes perfect. Show me a writer with 30 features under his/her belt and I'll show you a writer who's gotten better with every script he/her has written. So quantity does matter.

Quantity eventually promotes quality.  We can only hope.

These numbers are based on scripts submitted by email address that are currently on the site.  For this purpose, a series is considered a short. Except for Bruce Snyder, this list does not include co-written works. Does not include the most recent OWC.  This is the top 15 and then I added other folks who chimed in on the thread who may be interested on number of works live on the site.

Total Works on the site:

  • Lee A. Chrimes - 64 shorts Somewhere In Between series     
    http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m=1101078974
  • Helio J. Corderio  - 58 shorts
  • Michel J. Duthin - 52 works (8 features 44 shorts)
  • Bruce Snyder - 49 works (31 shorts + 18 cowrites) mostly "The Lunchroom" Series
  • Mike Shelton (shelton) - 42 works   (9 features 33 shorts)
  • Stephen Brown (stebrown) - 37 shorts/series
  • Phil Clarke Jr. (dogglebe)  37 works (9 features 28 shorts)
  • Zack M. Akers - 35 works (4 features 31 shorts)
  • Tyler Higgins (Higgonator) 33 works (3 features 30 shorts/series)
  • George Willson (tubkas) - 32 works (6 features 26 shorts/series)
  • James McClung  31 works (11 features 20 shorts)
  • Simon K. Parker - 30 works (3 features 27 shorts)
  • Cindy L. Keller - 29 works (6 features 23 shorts)
  • Steven Cameron (Wesley) - 27 shorts
  • Matthew Orobko  26 works (14 features 12 shorts)
  • Steve McDonell (stevie) 25 works (5 features, 20 shorts)
  • Simon Colligan (SiColl007) - 19 works (4 features and 15 shorts)
  • Shawn Davis (ledbetter)  18 works (5 features, 13 shorts)
  • Mark Lyons (rc1107)  17 works (2 features, 15 shorts)
  • Pia Cook (me) - 15 works (1 feature 14 shorts)* note: Pia originally had 43 works (3 features and 40 shorts), but she hosted the scripts on her site which is no longer working so the listings for those works were removed).
  • Bert - 15  (1 feature and 14 shorts) (note: this doesn't include guest writings and the Tanis bookends for the soul shadow series
  • Jeff Bush (dreamscale) -  15 works (2 features and 13 shorts)
  • Mark Moore - 14 works (3 features and 11 shorts)
  • DenaMcKinnon - 13 works (2 features and 11 shorts)

  • James McClung 11 features
  • Mike Shelton and Phil Clarke Jr. 9 features each


Shorts/Series Episodes - top three

  • Chrimes
  • Corderio
  • Duthin

I had two other features that used to be on the site, but I had to pull them when they went into development.  To channel Spinal Tap, "My features go to 11."

Hmm.  As a stats analyst guy in sports, I find this thread pretty interesting.

Although, I am a firm believer in quality over quantity.  :-)  (I'm not just saying that because I'm not on the list, either.  If I hadn't changed my e-mail address in '09, I'd be in between Michael Orobko and Simon Colligan.)

Now that I'm done with the feature I was working on, (can't submit because I don't have the rights), I'm hoping to have some more shorts done by end of summer.

It's a great feeling to finish a feature, but I still love knocking a story out in a day or two.

All right, now the important question:

Who has the longest...?

That's odd, Don. I've done a rough count of my stuff from memory and it comes to about 15 in total that I know about. Six features and the rest are shorts.

The denim cutoffs are specialy made in Australia to accommodate most of us. They have an inner belt section, where you lift and wrap your tockley. It's quite comfy, lol

I'm very surprised that Casey Wrenn didn't come up on here? Formerly Zondaguy something or other. I doubt anyone remembers him now but he seemed to have thousands of scripts, mostly slashers on here.

Also Brandon Taylor (Brandon T) had a load.

Actually, Bert, no.  I did a listing of top 14 works (features and shorts).  Then I went back to look for top number of features and then after Wesley, I cherry picked listing anyone who had commented on the thread who I though would want to know how many scripts they have on the site, e.g., you, Pia, Dena

Also, this doesn't include all time number of works. I delete scripts when asked or if someone has left or been removed from  the discussion board.

Helio is quite prolific.  In fact, after churning out three to five scripts for OWCs we enacted the "Helio" rule limiting to one or two entries, tho I allow more than one if you can 'sneak' it by me.

Tie at 279 pages for a single script (properly formatted)



Anybody else remember that Alien fan-fic that was, like, 450 pages?

That guy was nuts haha!

As for this fan-fic...

I just opened up the guy's script and glanced over it.

Maybe, just maybe, if it wasn't for the formatting, I would try to read some of it, despite the long-ass page count.

I like a really good fan-fic, but it's gotta be done right.

As for the page count, yeah, it's a lot.

The longest script I ever wrote was 140 pages.

haha! Yes I remember that alien script! I have a lot of respect for someone who can actually manage to fill that many pages, bullshit or not, I struggle with 120!

While the formatting was definitely wrong, I have to wonder if that script was a 450 page first draft.  My first drafts are usually very long as a lot of it is free flowing nonsense.  One of my first drafts weighed in at about 180 pages.  I got it down to about 100 before submitting it.

Damn, I shouldn't have looked at this thread as it just shows how lazy I am at writing...

I joined on May 20th 2006, that's over 7 years ago and have only submitted 2 features and 16 shorts.

I do have a few shorts not posted here and also a couple of features too that aren't here...maybe I should start posting again?  I don't know if I can take another beating from Jeff though lol.


Check out my scripts...if you want to, no pressure.

You can find my scripts here

Quoted from Don


Maybe we should have a OYC (one year challenge) where everyone has to write a 300+ page screenplay.




Quoted from the goose
how about board member with the most 'produced' or 'optioned' scripts?


I think Pia may be the most produced with six shorts an two features... and another four features by year's end.

Quoted from Dreamscale
Dena (pale yellow) write about a new feature every 2 months.  Leegion seems to write a new feature every single month.

Then there's me...I don't write anymore for some unknown reason.


Well, I have toned down my writing quite a bit. Though, I do write a new feature every month (or every 2 weeks depending on if I'm in the zone) I upload only what I think people would want to read.

I just finished a 115 page fantasy script based on a book I wrote but never published.

Finished off a draft of Leaper.

Finalized a fan fiction script clocking in at 155 pages for Batman.

Finished off a 16 episode Batman fan-fic series.

An 8 episode crime noir series called Robert Dows.

A Robert Dows feature script.

My OWC entry about Maad and Vee.

Here is a list of my features (that have been on the board):
Bleak Falls
Deep
Outbreak Z
Fracture
Orion and the Sword of Light
Orion and the Amulet of Tereis
The Guardian of Time
The Hallowed Throne
Hostile: Apocalypse
Silent Hill
Resident Evil: Rebirth
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Assassin's Creed

My shorts:
Discovering Knowledge
Shellshock

So yeah, I am very busy, lol. I had a lot of scripts taken down a while back as I felt they were clogging up the site.

Still though, a writer writes. Not as if I have anything else to do.

I remember that OWC...

I thumbed through a few of these old scripts eariler when it was posted. Some of them, I like, some not so much.

All, however were stepping stones to where I am now so I don't regret them.

You wanna get offended, blown out of the water and pissed? Read PRIDES FALL.

It was in the SEVEN DEADLY SINS OWC.

WOW did I catch hell for that one.

Michael Duthin (for you old timers) dared me to do it, so there it is...

Thanks man!

I began writing to overcome a form of dyslexia.

When I first started visiting this site, I could hardly read or write.

This medium of expressing myself gave me the freedom to learn among other people who are learning the same craft.

It’s a place where making mistakes is part of the growth process.

I’ve told Don this. This place is responsible for giving me a voice.

Actually, I've had 20+ shorts made. I have lost count.  

4 features produced. 2 released and 2 in post.  Also have one in pre-prod.

Hey, Don and dear fellas, to be in here, is not just a pleasure, but a great honor. Unfortunately I haven’t time enough those time to be with you because of my novels, but one day I’ll return to you all, hitting and missing like a crazy, like the old times! By the way, Don, when was my last short posted in here?

Views don't mean that a script has been read, Silverback.  It just means that someone visited the thread.
