Ditto to what Don said.

Anthony's idea I second. Of course goes without saying CJ, you'd tweet your message blunt and to the point, but with your usual courtesy and aplomb.

Another example of why censorship sucks. Eventually, something you say will get someone's knickers in a twist.

Cool site CJ.

I made a profile and joined and threw 9 of my scripts of there.

Quoted from AnthonyCawood Maybe tweet them publically, I've done that a couple of times with 'big' brands and they have responded super quick when it's in the open for all to see!

Quoted from eldave1 Well, that's crap on their part

Quoted from Don CJ, Very sorry to hear that. I understand how you feel. Is a punch in the gut to be misrepresented like that. Regrettably, one of the indications of success is crap like this happening. I don't want to dwell on the negatives that occur because of what we do because in the giant scheme of things, we help more people and get more enjoyment out of the experience that outweighs the utter bullshit we have to contend with.   Remember that are a lot more people out there who really know you and what you are doing and we don't take anything we read negative about you on the 'net at face value.  Your friends will ask you, the trolls will just jump on the bandwagon. - Don

Thanks for these comments, they mean a lot. This, along with having my Inktip account deactivated, I'm starting to feel a little beaten up while only trying to help. I have tweeted Amazon Studios, emailed them, and written a blog about what's happened. No response from them yet so I guess it's time for me to move on.

Quoted from GregoryM Cool site CJ. I made a profile and joined and threw 9 of my scripts of there.

Great! I saw you signup and start uploading last night.

CJ, I forgot how I posted a script on your site. Was it uploaded or did I use a dropbox link? I'm asking because of the Dropbox link issue coming up on the 15th.

Thanks.

You uploaded your script, so nothing to worry about, Pia

Hey CJ.

Is there a way to disable e-mail notifications that a script has been downloaded?

If not - you should code that.

I think a great feature would be a page on your profile that keeps track of all the downloads in a news feed. With who downloaded what and when.

Then instead of being reminded by e-mail, users would check back to their profile daily to keep tabs on reads.

Quoted from CJ Walley I just want to say a huge thank you for Simply Scripts allowing this thread to continue on this forum. As some of you may know, this weekend Amazon Studios deleted four years worth of contributions I'd made to their community including my Notable Project because someone claimed a post about Script Revolution was spam.

That's horrendous! It's a huge kick in the nads for something to happen like that when all you are trying to do is be of service to the creative community. Don't let it stop you, the good you (and Don of course) do in putting these sites together for us to hang out and share our stuff safely is priceless.

This is so annoying, especially when sites like Inktip and Stage32 spam like CRAZY everywhere.

Quoted from MarkRenshaw . This is so annoying, especially when sites like Inktip and Stage32 spam like CRAZY everywhere.

You ain't kidding there, that's for sure.

It's hard to believe that, one year ago, I was bookending a month's solid work with the launch of this site. As I sat there ready to click the button and face the world, all I had was faith in other screenwriters believing we could band together to bring change. It was a true "if you build it, they will come" moment that's been realised with tremendous belief and adoption by screenwriters the world over. This is where I get to say thank you, thank you so very, very much.

To those who believed; Anthony Cawood, P.H. Cook, Wayne Taylor, James Barber, Ruth Maramis, Victor Vera, Katie Burke, Pat Rick, Warren Duncan and Marc B - the first ten people who saw little more than an idea to bring change and signed up because they believed in it. Leading to over 800 more following in their footsteps.

To the Shootin' The Shorts team; Anthony Cawood, David Troop, Steve Miles, Fairly Finfield, Steven Clark, L. Chambers, Zack Zupke, KP Mackie, Phil Clarke, Hamish Porter, Thorsten Loos, Julia Cottle, Elaine Clayton, Karis Watie and Rachel Kate Miller, all led by the amazing J.E. Clarke - who have read so many short scripts and written so many wonderful reviews to help drive nearly 13,942 script downloads.

To the guest bloggers; Simon Mapp, Deen Gill, J.E. Clarke, Alan Mehanna, Tony Cella, 6String Mercenary, Désirée Nordlund, John Hunter, Shawn Davis, Fiona Faith Ross and Stephen Barber - who submitted great articles and earned many of those 215,418 page views.

To the rockstars; J.E. Clarke, Shawn Davis, David Lambertson and P.H. Cook - who have pledged $5 a month to help keep gigabytes of data fast and secure for everyone.

To the 73 members who signup and add to the 127 scripts that are uploaded on average each month and those who download 1,300 scripts on average in that time.

Thank you.

We have been dismissed by our industry and mocked by our peers. However, we've also been supported by Simply Scripts who have promoted what's happening here while simultaneously doing their best to help screenwriters themselves, we have been free to talk on Stage 32 and got a shoutout by Rich "RB" Botto, plus Done Deal Pro have been good enough to let the dialog flow on their forum.

While many have ignored us and some have actively tried to stop us we continue to grow because exposure for creatives isn't something that should be bought with their money, it is something that should be earned with their talent. We built this platform on a simple mantra - "Always free & always fair".

If you are a screenwriter, you are more than welcome to be part of year two. Upload your scripts, create a profile, and get notified of downloads. If you are an industry member, there is no clique, you get to sign-up and browse the 1,500+ scripts we have available, many of which are community favorites, many of which have won reputable rewards, many of which have been featured by Shootin' The Shorts.

There is plenty more to come and it might just be that the revolution has started. Either way, everybody's welcome to join it.

Thank you. Im glad you're getting downloads and I hope they turn into some results at some point. As a screenwriter and member of the site, I'm effectively in the same boat. I get downloads but no actual bites yet.

Congrats - solid site

I wasn't aware of the site. Great news as a screenwriter, and I'm also hunting for a script to produce. Fortunate timing!
