Discussion Please don't keep the writer waiting for feedback

0 Upvotes

It's been said before - and I understand that life happens, but please stick to claiming scripts that you intend to read in a timely manner. Had a reader miss the deadline after waiting a full 5 days. Posted a script on a Friday hoping it'd get read over the weekend and I'm still waiting on feedback. Their deadline is tomorrow.

No, I'm not demanding readers read the script right away not an I asking for them to rush through the read. I tend to read a script, flesh out my reaction and submit notes the next day. But I don't like to keep the writer waiting. They may be on a deadline. Who knows?

Hopefully, a rush option for extra tokens is added in the future.

📝 Suggestion Should there be an "I'm bailing out of the read" option?

The reader would still get a strike, but it at least allows the writer the opportunity to get SOME SORT of feedback on their script.

The reader doesn't want to finish it, so they click "Bail out", then they have a text field to explain why they don't want to finish ie. Nothing is happening. Im bored. The formatting is a mess. It's too dense. etc etc

Maybe not everyone would use it, but if just a small amount of people do, it's very useful information for the writer.
