SimplyScripts Screenwriting Discussion Board  /  Questions or Comments  /  Etiquette question

So when I joined here I'd already written five shorts and wrote three more since then... 8 in total now. I'd like to eventually get them all on the board. I was thinking send 2-3 at a time, wait a month, another 2-3, etc. But maybe even that's too much. I certainly don't wanna hog the submissions and interfere with other people getting their stuff up. Any thoughts?

And also to Don and Janet, thanks for everything!

If you drop a bunch of scripts through the portal all at once, I think you will get less reads from the board members unless your writing is stellar. I still think you'll get the same amount of looks from filmmakers, though. All based on your log line and title.

A unique question with no correct answer. Hmmm - I guess if it were me I would go with one a week.

I think if you have several scripts posted all at once, most people who planned on reading something will pick one of those. I could be wrong, but spreading them out seems like a better approach if you are looking for reads. :)

Should have mentioned I already sent the first three before I wrote this post. I got too excited! I'll space them out one a week from now on though, that sounds like a better way to go.

Yeah - I'm with Pia. That's what I would do, select one. Spreading them out a bit more would be a good idea. Oh, and let know they are yours - I know you're James but forgot the last name.

With how quiet it's been lately, uploading three shouldn't be a problem. May be a lot for you to keep up with though. I look forward to reading some of your stuff.

I would've said to send one in at first, then wait until you get feedback on it. Just incase there might be some issues or errors brought to light by readers that may also be in your other scripts, but you already sent some.

Regardless, I don't think there will be any issues, I'll keep an eye out for them.

Host them through your Dropbox bro and people can check them all out if they want.

This is my thought exactly.

I agree with Lightfoot.

After reading a couple of your scripts. I think you have a knack for storytelling but have some formatting issues that need work. If only one was submitted you could have sorted them out before submitting more.
