The primary purpose of the SimplyScripts Discussion Board is the discussion of unproduced screenplays. If you are a producer or director lookng for your next project, the works here are available for option, purchase or production only if you receive permission from the author.
NOTE: these screenplays are NOT in the public domain and MAY NOT be used or reproduced for any purpose (including eductional purposes) without the expressedwrittenpermission of the author.
Right so I've added my first script to Script Hop, easy process, it goes some simple analysis as part of the upload process, grabbing data on page length, number of scenes, characters etc.
You can then add logline, synopsis (short and long versions) and additional character info if you like. This is then added to your Catalog... which I assume I can now add more to.
You can also add Bio type info to the site too.
The site and process is pretty easy and verging on the painless. The only bit I didn't get was a page before the screenplay was processed where it asked me to list actors I had in mind for the roles, but I couldn't figure out how to add them... fortunately the site itself describes this bit as 'for fun' so I just skipped it.
So I now have one script on the site... I'm not entirely sure what happens next or if I'm now supposed to do something more...

I've also added a script to Script Hop, the series pilot Kord that got a lot of useful feedback when I posted it here as a WIP eons ago. (Today I learned that WIP threads on SS get culled after a while.)
It correctly identified the script as "for TV" and "fantasy." I have some quibbles with who it thought were major vs. minor characters, but it's an ensemble cast so it's probably more my fault than the algorithm's.
There are places to enter a lot of supporting information like a synopsis, series bible, character descriptions, locations, budget wild-ass-guess, etc. I copied bits of the series bible to populate most of that stuff. Once I have a proper long synopsis of their target length (4K-6K characters), I'll post the link so people can see what it looks like.
The system does try to pull out representative quotes for each character. I think it pulls out the longest, but at least you can edit the suggestions.
Let me know what you think, and if this looks like it'd be a helpful tool for screenwriters. ScriptHop's own spin is that writing your own synopsis lets the reader focus on understanding and analyzing your story. Just not sure I did a good job of writing a synopsis.
I happened to have a small amount of artwork done for the series bible, so I sprinkled bits of that everywhere. A section for concept art is slated as a future feature (not that I have any).
What are invitation codes - i thought site was free
It is free, but I think they’re trying to limit how many can jump on the servers at once and simultaneously prod some free word of mouth. A lot of free services start out that way, last one I was in that early with was Gmail.
It's a really cool presentation of your work, Frank. As Dave mentioned, it's yet to be seen if the site has industry value, but it'd be interested to hear what comes from your work going forward. Keep us posted.

Frank,
LMK if you want me to add the link to your posting.
