http://www.simplyscripts.com/submit_your_script_new.html is the link to submit your script. You can upload it to the actual site, or have it linked from another site. Maybe you missed the bit, "If you wish to have simplyscripts.com host the script, you will have an opportunity to upload it after submitting this form".

Anyways the Golden Standard stood out for me too.

If someone wants to take a "scene" they will take it regardless of copyright. A whole script you may have a case but a single scene they could probably argue.

I wrote something long ago and never did anything with it but read a short on ss with the same title, main character name and same basic story. I find it funny that something like that happened which shows that eventually someone else will think up the same basic ideas.

What you could do if it is not against any copyright/WGA regulations is throw all your scenes into one long file and submit that. That way all the stuff you like is registered.

Otherwise finish the actual scripts and go from there.

Yeah, I saw that, but I didn't release it pertained to parts.

Thank you.

I'll have to see if I can do that, as a way to keep things mine until (and if) I actually finish one.

Thanks.

I'm sorry. One last thing for this.

It says the site hosts full scripts, not scenes

Is that true? If so, that's fine. I'll just keep looking around and reading some stuff to pass the time..

I quite like the sound of Crash, just judging by the title. Enlighten me, if you will.

I'll enlighten you once I get the greenlight to post scenes. I always write the beginnings and endings to my stuff. But that ending is different than the others.

Show revolves around a 14 car crash on I-95.

That sounds like a decent hook, but what do you mean? The show revolves around the consequences of the crash, or the whole show, which is aparrently 16 episodes, is the crash?

Answering that question would ruin the show. Let's put it this way. The crash happens in every episode except the finale.

Hey man, you can post anything you want in the "My Work in Progress" thread  You can post a scene, 2 scenes, anything.  People do it all the time.  It will not be frowned upon at all.

Just go for it.  No one wil steal anything from you in here, so don't worry too much about it.  If you want to, just put on teh cover page that it's already Copyrighted...no one will know the difference.

I realised the other week that having a script posted here can give it a valid protection of sorts - the date it was posted should stand as proof in itself. If anyone did 'take' something, this posting date shows when it was originally done. Does that make sense?
Here in Australia we aren't legally bound to copyright stuff. if it's got the copyright symbol, it's automatically 'protected by Aussie law.   I think...

Stevie I read on another thread that the fact it was posted here wouldn't hold up in court as Don could mess around with the dates of the site and such.

Dunno about the Aussie Law...

Well, I came to a conclusion that if someone were to steal a scene of mine, they'd have to build a story around it. Which, if they do that, they've done the majority of the work, which is fine by me.

But there's no way in hell I'd put a full script up here without the WGA-register and a copyright.

If you do this, you can copyright all of your stories under one copyright.

Starting at the end, While Tracking shots,  And Long takes while Re-using the same characters because Bad guys typically win especially when dealing with Hell on Earth but don?t run north because that?s where the South High Green Berets issued the Gold Standard in the case of Objective 66. Then a Crash unleashing the Note showing that a saw cube was planted at Alastair Plaza and all that was heard was an Echo 7 by which could only be seen under a midnight sun.

That way your covered on ALL of your scripts.

That sounds feasible. Um, the aussie law or standard is that we don't have to register if we don't want to. a copyright symbol on our work is enough if there was a shitfight later.

If only, if only...

Maybe that's what I should do. Combine them all...

No, I can't. There's some CGI movies mixed in there. Oh well. =)
