Oh cool. I didn't realize there was a new screenwriting thread, such as it is. Hope things pick up here again. I'm trying to write more seriously and it would be nice to post about projects and resources here. I just can't bring myself to go to Reddit or wherever the gently caress. The initial Nicholl Fellowship notifications went out yesterday and I made the first cut. I'm pretty excited about that. It feels like a huge validation after spending the last couple of years wondering if all this time and work was being wasted. Did anyone else enter this year? I realize this is big time thread necromancy, but here are a couple of good sites I use to find scripts to read and study. I figure it's the first page and this is a common request. Scridx was a favorite that I used to recommend a lot, but they seem to have shut down. https://scriptslug.com/ - This is a nice site with a growing number of new and old scripts. Good looking too, especially compared to the typical PDF dumps you find. http://www.script-o-rama.com/table.shtml - This is a list of links to scripts being hosted around the web. More old stuff, but a nice selection. Also, Rian Johnson's site has the scripts for Brick, Brothers Bloom, and Looper available for free download. These are awesome and great examples for formatting and super-economical writing that is still interesting and vibrant. I think these scripts are some of the best to study, regardless of your level of experience with screenwriting. http://www.rcjohnso.com/ Here are some other promising sites I haven't checked out much. http://www.simplyscripts.com/movie-scripts.html https://www.raindance.org/scripts/ - The aforementioned PDF dump. Has some TV material in it as well. https://www.scriptreaderpro.com/best-screenplays-to-read/ - A list of suggested top scripts to read in various genres. http://www.imsdb.com/ - A script database. Decent selection, but I don't really care for the format. Scripts are shown inline on the page and don't appear to to be downloadable .

Unmature posted:Congrats! Thanks! If anyone has any experience with The Black List website, I could use some feedback. By luck, I know a guy who has found significant success getting screenwriting work. I wrote him looking for thoughts on worthwhile resources and approaches to getting a good script in front of the right people. Black List was a huge help for him early on and it was about the only site he was willing to vouch for. I have the gist of the site's model, but I'm interested in other people's experiences. I've read a lot of mixed opinions on the site and the notes you can get, but it always seems like the most disgruntled customers are always the ones most motivated to be vocal about their experiences. If I'm going to throw down the dough required to get eyes on my script then I'd like to feel confident in the value proposition involved. Is it worth it to buy readings/notes? Do reviews tend to be fair? Can a decent script get traction without paying for readings? I don't mind paying to be savaged, but if it's going to be some bored, unobservant pseudo-intern doing it then I can probably find that on my own without paying fifty (EDIT - $75!) bucks for the privilege.
