There is Alex. There's a screenwriting class thread on here that gives you the 101 on screenwriting.

I see what you are trying to do Alex but know it's impossible. You're trying to create structure. And you can't.

Each person has their own writing/format style that works for them. For example, my style might not be Allfy's or Dirk's or Alex's style.

They're are certain rules that can't be broken like the font needs to be courier 12. But outside of that, any one can write whatever way they feel like it. lol. It's liberating and frustrating at the same time. lol.

Unfilmables. Some people would say no while, others say yes. Who can tell which group is right?

Thanks Gabe,

Maybe newbies should be directed to an instructions page giving them a few pointers before posting ??

I am only trying to look at ways we can improve the site for all members.

There have been a number of people posting on this thread so I guess all of us regulars have a similar agenda.

Alex

They are encouraged to read scripts preferably from the long time members on the board or ask someone's assistance.

But a lot of people don't participate on the threads for various reasons so, it'll be a waste of time.

Alex, I do see what you're going for but Don has been posting scripts the same way for years and has never openly complained about it.  He gets behind sometimes, but that doesn't have anything to do with the volume of poorly formatted/written scripts.

May I chime in: listen to babz buzz. bb

Thanks Babz,

I have been listening though have only managed t get through 4-5 recordings.

Any particular one that you are referring to ???

Also out of curiousity I have subscribed to the podcast on Itunes though there are only 8 recordings on there ? Why not all of them ???

Regards Alex

Alex,

In the last few months you have become a valued member of SS and it's great to see you coming up with some ideas to make Don's life easier.

But I agree with others on this one. We are all mentors at the end of the day and if people want feedback on their script before it's posted to SS, they could easily just send in an email. I know that you use this tactic as I have received emails from you before asking for a review before it is posted.

If beginners are really that dedicated, they could do the same??

Anyway, I appreciate the effort you put into making life for Don easier. Top marks there!

Daniel
