Didn't enter a bunch of contest but Saint Death got a placement. Sigh. Sad to see everything going away.

My Coverfly is a bit of a void like my old Twitter 🤣. So not much to show on there but Salty did well and is the only script with insights.

mpb07.bsky.social•55 days ago

Mermania! and Jenkins and Watts are easily my top ranked. Mermania! was briefly on the Red List and J&W has been on it for over 2 years now. Definitely appreciate the boost Coverfly gave me. I will miss it.

Always had a soft spot for my first proper fuck-it script, Anastasis.

Was a @scriptpipeline.bsky.social QF, a @screencraft.bsky.social SF and Barnstorm shortlist.

One day, it shall get made 😄

reply

victoriadecapua.bsky.social•55 days ago

literally the only contest I ever entered or plan to enter. Please hold your applause. It did absolutely nothing and I forgot about my coverfly account until recent mention of its impending demise.

TBH...not gonna miss it. I was over the fake laurel shit years ago.

reply

victoriadecapua.bsky.social•55 days ago

logline's not bad though, I may retcon it.

utterlyjake.bsky.social•55 days ago

For me, The Vegetarian Zombie always ranked the highest. I was smiling like an idiot for a week when it got its first finalist rank... ah, who am I kidding, I was smiling for a month haha. <3

Cassidy better be careful - danger is undead ahead~!🥕🧟‍♀️

I have three Coverfly ranked scripts. #scriptsky

reply

itsxavion.bsky.social•55 days ago

Coverfly was the first script service that made me feel noticed. A writer with no schooling behind me, no rep, no credits to my name but these placements in these contests gave me the push to keep getting on the keyboard because it felt like somebody believed in me. Sad times but revel in the joy.

reply

aggiebrett.bsky.social•55 days ago

QUEEN OF THE SKY has stayed up there at 3% since it was first pasted onto the site, while some of the others have surprised me that they continue to climb despite me not playing (not affording) the contest game.

reply

aggiebrett.bsky.social•55 days ago

FWIW, I cannot recall ever deriving a tangible benefit from CF aside it serving as a handy place to park scripts and loglines for reposting elsewhere.

Well, that and the endless humblebrags… 🤣

I’ll miss ‘em.

reply

staceycrussell.bsky.social•56 days ago

YoungBloods (of course) and Like You Stole It (surprisingly) are both in the 1%. Followed by Tits Up and my Mando spec

reply

carolpreflatish.bsky.social•55 days ago

I hate that Coverfly is leaving. I read on several online places that the prediction is that the company will merge with other sites shutting down and come back stronger. Fingers crossed 🤞.
Here is my highest ranked screenplay on there.

What I miss?

craignobbs.bsky.social•55 days ago

Happy to end up with a 1-2-3% and the new kid on the block on its way up. I'll miss Coverfly. Some good interactions. And, of course, downloads. RIP Coverfly. Best of luck to all! #scriptsky

reply

phillmd.bsky.social•55 days ago

One of my proudest moments!

reply

cmarciel.bsky.social•56 days ago

Coverfly was fun & the news stinks. I had good luck. 5 different scripts in the top 5%. My pilot COPYCAT was even #1 on the Action-Adven Red List for a sec. It's about a con man who accidentally gets injected with a secret formula that allows him to temporarily steal skills from anyone he touches.

reply

kellyxasher.bsky.social•56 days ago

Always too broke to enter a bunch of contests, so this is all I have to show for myself 😅

reply

lynxsey.bsky.social•56 days ago

RIP, I enjoyed seeing people's work there! Save Point is some how still on the Red List for adventure though I haven't submitted it for many contests at all! https://writers.coverfly.com/projects/view/e3cf5f53-861b-43f4-bb0d-4f6e3f3bf839/Save_Point

reply

stephenkrespel.bsky.social•56 days ago

I loved Save Point! Well deserved.

Also, RIP Coverfly.

reply

julianmartin.bsky.social•55 days ago

Death's Brother is at 4%:)

reply

erikcarlsonmovies.bsky.social•56 days ago

I submitted three scripts, but only Henry and The Fictionals placed on the Red List. Currently up to the top 9% given the circumstances

reply

theartofcharts.bsky.social•55 days ago

Coverfly made a difference for me - my shopping agreement for DUST ON DIRT happened after they pointed it in the direction of Continuance Pictures.

And I'm still ridiculously proud of being #13 overall and #9 Feature with NO GHOSTS TONIGHT.

And their web design is a thing of clean beauty.

reply

wappelh.bsky.social•55 days ago

Never made the red list but got a few accolades along the way. That was always a nice surprise.

Onward and upward!

Rebel or loser?

LOL

reply

leahfromsd.bsky.social•55 days ago

Don't talk yourself down, you're not a loser.

reply

swanieprods.bsky.social•55 days ago

I just meant because I didn’t have an contest placements to show.

I know I’m not a loser!

But thanks girl.

reply

lisalueylutes.bsky.social•55 days ago

My highest ranked score was also my Blacklist 3. Lots of unranked scripts too because I'm not made of money.

reply

naveman.bsky.social•55 days ago

My comedy Altered Egos was in top 1% for a while. Never had anybody contact me or anything from Coverfly so not sure how much this stuff really mattered. It was validating though & does motivate to keep writing. The site was useful for organizing and submitting to contests.

reply

kjohnson1585.bsky.social•55 days ago

Disappointing but I can't say I'm surprised! My spec of Teen Titans Go got placed kind of high but that's about it.

reply

gointothestory.bsky.social•55 days ago

RIP: Tracking Board is shuttering in September.

reply

leahfromsd.bsky.social•56 days ago

Pro Life is definitely my top script, which is impressive since it only has one accolate and one contest semi-final award.

I don't enter many of my scripts into contests, so here are a few lost souls with no ranking.

reply

stephenkrespel.bsky.social•56 days ago

Coverfly was always kind to me. I'm going to miss them and their elegant website.

Also, ICE RINK... THE MUSICAL lived on the Red List all these years as #1/#2 Television Musical since 2022ish.

Thank you for the kindness and love, Coverfly. RIP.

reply

allensircy.bsky.social•55 days ago

It was kind of like a game watching your scripts climb the rankings.

Had fun with “Old Man Dead” making the Red List. Always felt “Colt” would have eventually made the Red List too.

reply

thatjasonrice.bsky.social•55 days ago

It was fun watching RIP Jenny Lee climb the charts and get badges. Even though I knew it was unlikely to get made the gamification made it feel special.

reply

marygirls.bsky.social•56 days ago

Did I miss something? Is Coverfly dead?

reply

timoleary.bsky.social•55 days ago

My feminist-revision Trojan War script HELEN was top 1% in all its categories for about a year. I think that's my favorite script I've ever written so I'm glad it got the accolades.
