Quoted from FrankM


It's a string that hasn't been washed in a long time

Actually, an example would be the first six threads of the Screenwriting Class board. They stay at the top even if some normal thread has more activity.


Ah. Thanks

I just spent the last 90 minutes catching up on this thread and found it both amusing and enlightening.

My profession (what pays the bills) entails regulatory and corporate compliance with writing as a hobby(definitely doesn't pay ANY bills). Professionally speaking, there are policies (overarching context of how we work), standards (the rules/ do's and don'ts), and procedures (how we do what we do within the rules). When there aren't standards, we develop best practice to give guidance to achieve the optimum result.

I respect everyone's input on this subject and have learned a lot in the last two+ years on SS. I almost quit writing after my first OWC (thanks to Jeff's comments) until I went back and read my entry and found that Jeff was absolutely correct (thanks Jeff). Since then, I've accepted and appreciated everyone's input (shout out to Dave, Warren, Col, Ghostwriter,...the list goes on).

I've also learned that I'm a great thread killer.

Fade out.

What Frank said.

Important info pinned to the top of the thread.

Don has the heading 'Stuck' and 'Normal' below.

There's generally one in each major category, including  on some threads a 'read before you post' on threads like Script Exchange & WIP.

Hmm, just delving some more and discovered in the FAQs this Sticky that George was kind enough to collate some time ago, and it includes Wrylies, amongst many other things.

https://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-screenwrite/m-1194903750/

Obviously info can get overlooked when the info is already there and ripe for the picking.
Do people look for an answer to their question before creating a new thread?

Seems not a lot.
We need to promote the information already accessible for ourselves and Newbs.

Separate Stickies would be more noticeable...

Dave has kindly updated Parentheticals.
What about the other categories, folks?

Sluglines/Scene Headings  - currently here in the FAQs:
http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?m-1101250486/
Includes Mini Slugs and the use of Continuous.

Perhaps Jeff would like to scan through that and update it?

Of course making it all too clear and concise does away with these lively debates.
