I agree.  Before I started writing I spent a great deal of effort finding a website that explained the format.  Then I asked questions on the forum as I wrote.  If people aren't willing to put work into making it easy for me to read their script, I won't put much work into giving feedback.

It's true that bad formatting makes a bad script, but many of the stories I've read on here that had horrendous formatting usually had a horrendous and trite story.  When I say horrendous formatting, I mean the spacing is all over the place, there's all this garbage in it that doesn't need to be there, and bad grammar and technical stuff above all else.  

That's partly because thankfully Don doesn't have any requirements to post your work on here, which I guess is a gift and a curse depending on if you're the reader or the writer.  Yeah, it is aggravating that there's a bunch of quality, perfectly formatted screenplays up here and people are too lazy to fix their own structure problems, but if they learn then that's making progress.


Be excellent to each other
