So what "happens" to the scripts on this site? Do they just sit there?  The PDF itself is not uploaded. And I can't see where we as writers can edit the submission (attachments, etc.).

Yes, I remember. What happens to the submissions that are up there now? There are no PDFs. They can't be edited. Is it just that someone needs to come to Scriptbook and say "I'd like to read that"... ?

Oh, I have no idea. I guess a Producer could look at it =but they only have about 260 scripts there - seems like a dead site to me

I too check. My scripts are gone.

Another site, Story Data (storydata.io), have potential. If only their A.I "computer" could correctly analyse a script.

All they really do is count the objective things - word count, lines of dialogue, etc.

WTF! An AI that judges how good a script is? My goodness. They don’t have to blacklist me. I blacklist them. What an utterly ridiculous idea.

So I just wrote to them and asked them to take down my two scripts. Because I have the basic package - meaning, I paid zero dollars - there's basically useless information up there.

So to go to the next step? $1,999 Euros. Which is over $2,400 US dollars.

It really makes me sick to see this type of exploitative money grab.

I got a totally different response from them when I asked about my scripts
Hi, if we blacklist a person we do it for a reason. When it comes to treating each other with respect, we believe that the door swings both ways. If we blacklisted you, then your scripts have been long removed from the marketplace. If the scripts are still up there, it's probably just the title entry (no script & no analysis stays on the marketplace after a blacklist). But I'll happily check for you. Please send us the titles of your scripts and we'll double check. Also, about copyright, check our rules of engagement please. We clearly advise writers to copyright their material before posting/uploading. We are datascientists with zero interest in stealing your stories/scripts. All we do is provide a free platform for writers in the hope that a third party will make these writers an offer. Also, we realize that we live in a twisted world but not everyone is out to get you. Here and there you'll still find small companies with high moral values that have an actual soul. ScriptBook is one of them.

Figured if we're gonna bash 'em should at least put up when they say it's been taken down

Fair enough - but I would add this:

Prior to a writer going through the effort of uploading their scripts - it would have been nice if they had a statement reflecting their true intents. Something akin to:

The service is free. However, please note that we will be reviewing posts you make on screenwriting sites and if we find that you have said anything negative we will ban you from our site.


Now - I know that they wouldn't say that because that would mean they would have to admit they were behaving like children rather than professionals that are interested in both positive and negative feedback,

I wish them all the best. I personally don't think they will get there as there are too many flaws in the AI-generated script review process. But whatever - hope they hit it out of the park. I do know that if they are going to grow as a company, they sure as hell are going to need to grow thicker skin.
