I'm thinking about posting one of my full length scripts on Triggerstreet.com after I get it registered. I was wondering what you all thought about that? I think I've heard before that some production companies won't touch your work if you post it on a website prior to submission (or is that publishing companies for novels...or is it both). So, that's the reason I'm asking. Thanks.

Oh, and for those who don't know what Triggerstreet is...it's a site where you can upload a full length screenplay for critique.

i have posted scripts on there before and due to the feedback being positive i suppose it was a positive experience. Plus by essentially submitting it to triggerstreet you are entering an ongoing monthly contest. The only time i could see this becoming a problem is if you win because then triggerstreet has the option/ability to consider you script for production. I dont remember them so youd have to read the rules on the site, but thats the only way i suppose it could be a problem if you are actively trying to sell it. If not then it is an awesome positive.

I don't know where you heard that but several TriggerStreet scripts have been optioned, or filmed by small studios. If you are optioned or gain representation just take the script down.
TS and Zoe are perfect for starting to get reviews if you have never done it before. By all means go for it!
