Since WGA writers have to deal with the strike, are there writers who offer workshops and other services during the freeze (for lack of a better word)?

I'm kind of curious since this seems like a decent platform to advertise those services to up and coming writers. r/screenwriting already get the usual umbrella groups that come and advertise. Figure someone who's actually involved with production would have a bit to say about the technicalities of writing professionally, and are engaged enough in it that they are relevant.

Craft writing from people who write, targeted at people who write is something I've personally been digging through for quite some time, and wondering if anyone got any

Hello,

I've been here a bit, and do quite a bit of cold reading, and after a few years I finally read something I think is worth getting made.

u/dfdfinney has a brilliant drama/satire going about inauthenticity, and took a fairly proven concept and elevated it further than I have seen in that genre.

Go check him out if you want to see something moved. It's nice, head and shoulders above most stuff I read. Head and shoulders above anything else I've seen here.

And if you're a writer who's learning, this is why you read, so you can see other creative takes with powerful ideas behind them.

Great script, but damn, he totally deserves a shout out.

I got a Z170 AS Rock for you know, the Z170 chip set, a i5-6600K I've done some light overclocking on, nothing crazy, and a 1070.

I'm looking to rebuild and pass my components on, notably the 1070. Unfortunately it looks like upgrading it in a meaningful manner to a 3070 will bottleneck at the 6600k.

I'm not opposed to going Ryzen, but I'm going to need some suggestions in this since I'm not sure about their product lineup.

I want to see if anyone has any suggestions regarding solid motherboard/processor and graphics card combinations, for roughly USD 1100. I've been out of the market for roughly 6 years so have no idea what the processor/motherboard market looks like.

I'm running 1x1080

Did some mucking around with Coverfly X since it's the new kid on the block with regards to peer feedback and I figured there are a couple things I could pass on.

• More tokens does not result in better feedback, it just results in faster feedback, which I think will result in someone who doesn't want the script, and just wants the tokens, so you get someone who doesn't give a damn about the genre.

• I did some messing around with much higher than average tokens and much lower than average tokens, and while the higher than average tokens got back quickly, the notes weren't remotely as useful as the lower than average. The longer the script sits, the likelier you get someone who reads th

Hey, I finished a round of work on one of my scripts and was looking for someone who wants to swap specs:

Format: Feature

Length: 86 pages

Logline: When an immortal creature with a serious case of hero syndrome risks being discovered and killed, it's up to a medieval witch to help her adjust to normal society before they're both exterminated.

Genre: Philosophical, Coming of Age, Action, Superhero, thriller

Title: Deviant Divine Philosophy

Can we please talk actual advice? Not "oh" your script is bad because (random formatting preference)

1. Write a script.

2. Go through your script and make every piece of it count. Every piece of dialog, every set choice, every word of description, make it support and reinforce the goal of your story. Build up to your main emotional beat and then execute on it.

3. Rewrite your script so number 2 happens.

Continually improving the expression of your piece is how actually good scripts get made instead of all this "follow my guide and write a great script."

If you want to see solutions to common problems ie: slow pacing, stilted dialog, scenes that end too late, read scripts and see how oth

I've been pretty unlucky in picking films to watch over the past few weeks or so and felt really let down. I was wondering if there were some fun action genre pieces worth picking up. Something that is relatively well written and has solid choreography.

One thing I noticed is that we have a bunch of talking about upvote downvotes, ignored posts, whatever, and then inevitable complaining about said posts, and this happens every two weeks or so and the same issues keep coming up.

I think one solution is to have a pinned week long or bi-week long thread for script swaps, one of the primary uses of this sub for new writers, so they can get feedback on their script as opposed to the one that is only active 3 days a week.

This would:

1. Remove the stream of feedback requests that inevitably gets no response, I think I counted 4-6 in a row recently, and I'm not exactly here all the time. It's then followed by the inevitable complaint and downvo

From the depths of r/screenwriting

We brought you "Bitching about Feedback".

We brought you "Bitching about Bitching about Feedback"

We brought you "Bitching About Bitching About Bitching About Feedback"

I shall now start the next thread in the inevitable discussion: "Alternatives to Repetitive Bitching about Repetitive Bitching on Downvoted Feedback Requests"

I think this could easily be fixed with just disabling downvotes, because no one uses downvotes for stuff that isn't relevant to the conversation and it's just a like/dislike function.(I mean, really, look at the votes here.)

This subreddit is so small, the small quantity of users who actually do downvote stuff have a pretty h

I'm looking to swap feedback on a dark comedy pilot. I'll swap with just about any pilot in the 30 or 60 min slot.

I have a second pilot, also 30 minute slot. I want to get eyes on, so if you have a feature, I'll be willing to do a 2-1 there, both the pilots for the feature.

Throw me a DM.

Format: Streaming Pilot/ Animated Short (30 minute format)

Length: 21 pages

Genre: Dark Comedy, Fantasy, Action

Logline: When a group of criminals break into her family's mansion to kidnap their servants, a young fox realizes that the world she lives in is far more fantastic, and ridiculous than she knows when she is entangled in such schemes.

Note: This is a relatively dark comedy with a whimsical tone.

Is this funny? Is this dark? It's heavily saturated with different comedy and designed to also be a little bit uncomfortable without being bad faith due to its lightheartedness. I think it's decen

Anyone looking to swap? I got an action fantasy blockbuster feature 118 pages, draft in the upper single digits, and was wondering if anyone wanted to swap scripts.

I have quite a bit of time on my hands so can do fairly quick turnaround.

Played a game with two premades, the first had a player that was visibly new, probably fewer than 5 games, mouse to click skills, all that jazz.

Second premade had reasonable players but both went afk, non-bot when they saw how new the new player was, leaving the gamestate effectively a 2v5.

I know this game is designed to be less micro-intensive, but I think it's a pretty serious bug with the game.

Can someone patch it? Might be worth coming back to the game after that but as it is now it's hilarious how matchmaking allows this. I get better matchmaking out of the ultra casual FPS games.

I have to rate it a 6.5 out of 10 due to lack of playability.

Does storm league match you with same level MMR? I've only played quick match so far, but more and more often I'm finding myself matched with worse and worse players while my MMR climbs.

It's gotten to the point where if someone has fewer than 8-10 deaths it's usually a free win, but I've played with so many bad players I just can't really muster any reason to play the game. It just feels no matter how hard I play, I can't get them to do basic things.

Does the game just stack the teams so the MMR is roughly even?

I'm not that good, but I know I'm better than average. It's literally painful to double soak something while the other players chase into a bad fight.

I'm wondering whether I sh
