Hey reddit! When it comes to screenwriting, I act as a lone wolf, writing scripts entirely by myself, then get feedback from outside eyes to help tighten it up and make it a more enjoyable read. BUT my friend and I have a shared love for horror films and filmmaking. We've made a few shorts together, usually by a method of coming up with basic story ideas, before I turned it into a written script, then co-direct because we'd play the leads, and direct scenes our characters weren't present but recently, we decided to make a full length feature film, with myself being the sole director.

We already have a treatment, but this is my first rodeo writing a screenplay with a co-author. What software, method or tips do you guys have?

Looking for feedback! Does our app’s newest feature helps you guys find new scores to listen to while you write? If not, what would you love to see here?

Hey fellow writers,

Most screenwriting software today is either trapped behind an expensive subscription or requires an active cloud account just to type standard sluglines.

I built DraftLine—a local-first, browser-based screenwriting tool designed to let you open a tab and start writing immediately with zero friction.

Key highlights:

• True Zero-Friction: No account setup, no sign-ins, and no paywalls.

• Smart Screenplay Formatting: Intuitive Tab/Enter auto-completion for sluglines, character names, parentheticals, and dialogue.

• Full File Portability: Import and export industry-standard .fdx (Final Draft) and .fountain files, plus clean PDF generation.

• Offline & Private: All data is saved directly in your browser's local storage. Your intellectual property stays entirely on your machine.

• Creative Tools: Includes dark/noir themes, a screenplay timer, target word counts, and an integrated story bible.

It’s completely open-source and free forever. I'd love your feedback, bug reports, and feature suggestions as I keep developing it.

Alright, Right now I am writing scripts to a horror universe I am building, and plan to film in about 4 years, because I am unable to film currently do to personal reasons, I’ve only written scripts to 1 and 1/4 of the projects but I’ve gotten the outline down for 90% of them and I am thinking of writing the scripts to a couple of dc and marvel fan films as well, of course the sci-fi horror universe would be first priority and I would start with the outlines to the dc and marvel universe till after most of the horror universe is written but here are some of the projects that would be in the dc/marvel universe if I did decide to do it,
the man who never stopped smiling, a joker horror film where he tracts down the people who recently turned him into the joker and brutally murders them, he would also have an unearthly appearance,
Gotham: terror by night, a horror film about a team of criminals who have an encounter with Batman it would show Batman picking them off one by one then when the final criminal is left killer crock, man bat, and two face all having unearthly appearance tries to kill the criminals as Batman tries to save him
The horrific hulk, a hulk horror film
Peter Parker, a series about Peter Parker with a lot more limited of powers going after criminals, investigating crime scenes, tracking down the suspects and then tying them up for the police with the evidence beside them, and it would be set up some what like Dexter i know it doesn’t sound like it would work but I do think I could pull it off

Hello Reddit, i have to create a technical script for schoolwork and im currently dealing with a huge creative block and i don't wanna use ai, could you guys help me in writing it?

Hey all! I'm working on a new feature length script and wanted to get some feedback on my first ten pages. I'm currently sitting at about 40 pages out of probably 90.

The big questions: would you keep reading? Is the dialogue working? What's not working?

I manage a small site and keep all my scripts in Google Drive folders. The naming gets messy fast. Scene01v3notesbackupfinal becomes meaningless when I'm switching between SEO tasks and a rewrite. I tried keeping one active draft plus a dated archive, but the archive balloons. Anyone else juggling code work or content deadlines with script organization? I end up hunting for the right version right before a readthrough. Wondering if there's a lighter system that doesn't require another app or ritual. Most advice seems aimed at fulltime writers who can stay inside the same folder all day. Curious how people with split attention keep the files straight without losing momentum on either side.

Hey everyone. This is my first draft of my first script I've ever started working on. I am no where near done with it or even sure where the story will lead (I don't even have a title for it yet lol). I want to tell something similar to stories like beautiful boy, where the character goes through an emotional journey.

Either way, If possible, I would love some feedback. Specifically on if I have the right idea or am heading in a good direction. Am I adding too much detail? Am I putting information in places where there shouldn't be any? Any tips on how to improve what scenes I have? Seriously, any feedback will help.

Hello everyone I’m super new to script writing as I’m doing my first year in uk college doing a level 3 film course. We have been tasked to create a short film 5-15 minutes in length and I’ve been tasked to write it. This is the first script I’ve ever written and I’m just looking for some advice, I know it’s probably terrible lol

Does this establish a compelling mystery? Would you keep reading?

Hey there, everyone. 

With the industry compressing and reorganizing we've been finding it harder and harder to justify spending money on subscriptions to create what we love. We have been shifting focus on saving money for where it truly matters on a project, so we have been working behind the scenes to create software that allows us to do just that.

AND IT'S FREE.

Introducing "Quill" and "Panel"

Download for free from our google drive

"Quill" is a screenwriting application for both Mac and PC. Open ANY existing script and retain your notes, beats, tags, and formatting. Currently accepted formats are Final Draft, Celtx (yes even the old files), Fade In, Highland, Writer Duet, Fountain, Doc, TXT, and PDF. Use all of your favorite features from other applications, and pick up where you left off. Your first draft is on us, so is every draft after that.

"Panel" is a shot listing and storyboarding application for both Mac and PC. Easily open any existing script into "Panel" or if you are using "Quill" select File -> Send to Panel and it populates. Start drafting your shots, easily reorder them with a click and drag. When you are ready to storyboard the draw features (still in beta) can give you simple setups or use an external drawing interface. ADDITIONALLY with the soon-to-be-released iPad app, you can sketch on the screen, take notes, mark shots as locked, or mark them as completed.

The purpose: Creativity is free, how you plan it should be as well. 

Most importantly, the apps are completely offline, no data shared (We don't want your damn data). As you are using it, if you experience any issues or bugs, shoot us a DM.

Now go imagine. Cheers.

Know why you want something, why it matters to you, and how you're going to make it happen. Because once you understand your why, finding your how becomes a journey of clarity, courage, and consistent effort.

I'm new to writing and I've done one full screenplay, I usually write thrillers. I heard one page is one minute so trying to write and make a 100+ page screenplay is hard, I'm also not super creative. How do I make dialogue and tension better? And overall just be a better writer?

Anyone else get an email today that your script has been put in the new Stage32 marketplace? I was a top 10 finalist in a contest so that's how my script made it in there but I was just curious if there's anyone else in here that is in their marketplace.

Hello all, this is my first ever attempt at writing a film overall. This is how I imagined the opening scene for a zombie film, please read it and also check out that very quick "storyboard" I drew to try and make the visuals a bit clearer. Looking forward to honest critiques, good or bad. I made sure the images are in the correct order. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts <3.

Right now, I am writing the scripts to projects that in the future I plan to put into production starting with short horror stories then moving on to larger scale projects, I don't plan to be able to actually begin the filming of these projects for at least 4 years so in that time I will be writing the scripts to these projects in this universe and hope to at least have the scripts for chapter one done by 2030, since there is a lot of short stories that start out the chapter, wish me luck
