I submitted my script "A Cinematic End" like 3 weeks ago to Script Shadow. I see it popped up in the newsletter today. So it's in the running this week in the Friday Amateur Submissions.
I guess they have a pile of scripts and you just have to wait until you get your turn.
I'll try to keep active in the comment section there.
One thing to point out about Scriptshadow is that as I said this was pulled from a pile. I submitted it 3 weeks ago and then again last week. Now the version I submitted last week was a bit revised and the "WHY YOU SHOULD READ:" part was different. In the first submission I just tried to keep it short and simple.
So if you plan on submitting over there, try to get it right the first time you submit your script. Because if you submit it multiple times (the site says to do so) you don't know which version they will put up.
I've been thinking about submitting "Shards" for a bit. Maybe I might do so next week. Still editing the blasted thing. I'll likely submit it under a pseudonym.
I thought about that as well. I most likely should have polished the thing one more time and cut it a bit... but what the hell. Sometimes you shouldn't postpone things. I threw that script away and on to the next one.
Keep your expectations low and eventually you'll be surprised
I've submitted a couple times late last year. No dice.
I'll try again later.
And here's hoping he picks yours!
Thank man.
I think they are picked at random. Or he just glances over the loglines. Like I said, he used the email I sent him more then 3 weeks ago. Not the one I sent him last week. Which had the same "subject".
All the best, Demento. I only skim read your script - not enough to write a review on - but what I read was awesome. Good luck!
Side note: I don't think they just pluck scripts randomly - maybe the log-line. I sent one in the other week as a tester and it went in the next week. Much to my amazement and horror, haha. The logline remains engaging, the script another matter.
