Quoted from mcornetto We could always have one thread that's devoted to posting your log line for feedback.  Any one who wants to post a log line can post it there.  Sound good?

Not to shoot down my pal Pia (or Cornetto, for that matter), but I predict that within 3 days the thread will be full of trash and smart-ass comments and will become essentially useless.

I am pretty sure I am right.

I like the idea, myself.

Oops, I posted while others were being shot down too. . . .

RAT-A-TAT-TAT-TAT!  Got ya!

I think the thread would be ok.   Probably, like most other threads here, before it gets out of hand people will have moved on.

Well I guess Bert would have to start a new thread and make it boldly clear that it's the Official Review My Logline Thread, or something like that.  Lay down heavy rules, tho, like no goofing off with nonsense loglines just for laughs -- only serious posts and serious advice.  Anything else is deleted.  I could see a logline thread going south real fast with jokes and stuff but maybe if its kept maintained it could be useful.  

You have a logline you want done?

Hell, Cornetto's trigger-finger is as fast as anybody's on the delete key.

Give it a shot if you want -- but keep it off the WIP board, please -- as a logline thread is little more than an "I've got an idea" thread.

If you want it, C, put it on the Collaboration board and you keep it swept up haha.

So if anyone has a logline they would like to start with. I'll start the thread.

...I don't have one...that's why I need help!  

I've got one.  I'll PM it to you, if you'd rather do it that way.

Ok the logline thread is here

http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-collaborate/m-1260421988/

and it's ready for its first victim

Cool, I hope it works out.

Quoted from bert I mean, look at the Work in Progress board, where (many) people post the first random thought that pops into their head -- as if a script is actually forthcoming.

Guidelines which we have supplied and brains should be enough to fix this. Obviously not so we take shit for deleting stuff by people who put no thought into the "idea" in progress.

The logline thread will easily clutter because many people will reply to comments made rating the new logline which means you will have to clean it out on a regular basis (Probably after every one logline is to the writers liking) and I don't think you should actually write it for someone but instead give them the ideas to do it themselves.

Also it will clutter with multiple loglines at the same time and some will not get the help they seek.
