Over on the Unproduced Scripts page there are a few unproduced, original scripts for your reading pleasure.

On another note, I’ve gotten a lot of scripts in unusual formatting recently and while I applaud anyone who can churn out a good story, it really, really helps when the screenwriter uses industry format.

please make it easier for me to read your story by not asking me to adapt to your unusual formatting style.

I thought this article Best free Cloud-based Script writing Online Tools was useful information. Weigh in on what you’re using.

Over the next few days SimplyScripts will be transitioning to SimplyJAVAScripts!

Not only do both screenplays and the programming language have the word “script” in it, both disciplines also require attention to grammar, spelling and formatting. So, many of the review styles will remain the same, e.g., “This simply will not work,” “Too many spelling errors,” “Your formatting is off…” The transition to SimplyJAVAScripts should be pretty seamless.

I see endless possibilities in this new direction the site is taking. The discussion board will be turned over to reviews and critiques of JavaScript code. JavaScript writers will be able to submit his/her work in a number of JavaScript genres like, “Great for Denial of Service Attacks” or “Great for Defending against Denial of Service Attacks”.

I hope you all embrace this new direction with the same enthusiasm! I encourage each and every one of you to get on board.
