Just ran across this. Curious - any peeps post their scripts there? Thoughts?

When I entered the Screencraft fellowship, my script ended up on there and I got a notification out of the blue. I then had to create a Coverfly account to go see what it was all about and was surprised to see several of my other scripts already listed and I hadn't uploaded any of them.

It seems when you enter some competitions, they end up being given a Coverfly score and end up on there, but listed privately. You can then choose to list them publicly.

It seems like a Black List style deal but for screenplay competitions and festivals. I've only recently become aware of it but I'll keep an eye on my 'score' as it goes through various competitions. If any get a decent rating I may choose to make one public just to see what happens.

Thanks, Mark - appreciate the feedback.

I ran across the site a few months ago, and a script of mine was there without my knowledge. I guess it was linked to a contest.

I noticed some weirdness in their scoring system. I saw a script that was given points for placing in the upper 20% of Nicholl, but mine placed in the upper 6% and Coverfly didn't give it any points for that. I'm not aware of any script sales from the site, so I didn't care enough to contact them. All I know is, they spelled my script title correctly and didn't take anything out of my bank account.
