This seems like a good time to thank Scott, Franklin, tech wizard Dino, and everyone else who's worked so hard to give us this invaluable forum for learning, discussing, and sharing work. And also to thank everyone who's contributed to the forum itself, sharing their opinions and expertise and encouraging their fellow writers. Thank you all - and for those who haven't signed up to the forums yet, come on in, the water's fine!

[...] Go Into The Story, the official screenwriting blog of the Black List just announced the launch of their official forum: The Black Board. [...]

I second Debbie, thanks Scott, Franklin and Dino for providing the space to have our pep talks. And to any writers out there interested in joining in, I like to think we welcome you with a cup of tea and a biscuit. And a big group hug. Don't do hugs? (Neither do I really). Come on over anyway.

This is awesome! Thanks everyone for all your hard work! And great name, Jay! Very fitting.

Thank you for the fantastic announcement, Scott, and all your work that went into making this happen. I think you and I see the place in pretty much the same light: a way to help writers bridge the gap between the theory at GoIntoTheStory and pitching a polished screenplay at the Black List. We've had new people coming over from GITS since the announcement went up. It's great to see so many familiar faces. Welcome, everybody! And some long-time lurkers have got caught up in the enthusiasm and delurked, too--it's wonderful to see them jumping into the discussions. I am really excited to see what kind of writing we can accomplish together.

Hey there, Is the blackboard forum closed for good or moved to some other domain name? Please let us know Thank you

The Black Board is gone. Served a good purpose. Check out the archives here for tons of valuable information and inspiration.

Sure Scott, thanks for the update.
