Thanks. For now I'll stick to Celtx.

Anyone know a good site where you can put your work online to show people?

Cooooooool.

Is it free or does it cost money?

 

[Assassin32]

It's free to write one screenplay and post it for peer review. If you want to write more than one, you have to subscribe.

Does it matter how long the one you post for free is?

 

[Assassin32]

Nope. You can write one complete screenplay and it's absolutely free. Make it 500 pages long if you want. Check the site out for yourself.

[Assassin32]

Well put your favorite one on scriptbuddy.

J Alba's Lover, I would actually be interested in reading one of your's. t:
How is everybody else coming along?

 

[SapphirePrima]

We can talk about teleplays and pilots here right. Cause I took a break from my screenplay and am working on a tvshow right now.

Haven't you posted you're comedy before?

 

[The Apatow Crew]

No I posted the suspense thriller and that was at a early stage of the writting and i posted just a bit. so its different now.

The spellcheck in celtx sucks.

 

[eXperiment]

The spellcheck in celtx sucks.

Agreed. Still, it's great software.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

How's the spellcheck on scriptbuddy?

 

[Assassin32]

Good. You can add words to it that you don't already know. HOWEVER, you have to subscribe to the site for spellcheck, the ability to print your work, and the ability to have mutiple scripts on your profile. But writing one complete screenplay and publishing it for feedback is free.

Luckily for all of us, I hear there's this new invention called "the dictionary." So, just write and don't worry so much about features!

 

[The Apatow Crew]

Call me dumbo but how do you get the scriptbuddy workstation to work?

It says
"Start by adding characters and scenes
using the '+' icons on the right"

I used that little thing and i put what they wanted in I saved it and then nothing showed up even though i saved it.

 

[Assassin32]

Add a scene by clicking the "+" icon in the outline section at the top right.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

I got it now. I figured it out now. you have to do it piece by piece.

I thought it would just be like you copy your work into the thing and its done.

 

[Assassin32]

Yeah, I like it a lot during the re-writing stage. I just polish my script as I'm transferring it.

 

[The Apatow Crew]

It's kind a pain in the butt with all the copying and pasting.

 

[SapphirePrima]

Yeah, with Celtx too. Because I put my tv pilot in there and it's was frustrating formating it correctly. But after awhile you get used to both.
