@rdlln: @franklinleonard do you envision @theblcklst functioning (at some point) in a way similar to how @MyTrackingBoard works for pros #scriptchat
October 29, 2012, 12:05 am          



 
@DisgruntleReads: @theblcklst - Any worries the new service will decrease The Blacklist's cachet? Open submission=execs less willingness to read? #scriptchat

October 29, 2012, 12:05 am          



 
@theblcklst: Badges don't have much in the way of significance. They're largely a relic of the site as it was prior to our recent launch. #scriptchat

@Armakk: #scriptchat As a new user, I've found it as good as promised. But Impressions can be other writers or pros, they should be differentiated.

@theblcklst: @DisgruntleReads The annual Black List will not change. Will be formed using the same process we have used for seven years. #scriptchat
October 29, 2012, 12:06 am          



 
@Whyvoni: Might as well get a little #scriptchat in before #Sandy wreaks havoc. It's been a while. Happy to see everyone!
October 29, 2012, 12:06 am          



 
@SaradeWaard1: If the same person reads up on our script, does it count as another impression?n #scriptchat
October 29, 2012, 12:07 am          



 
@theblcklst: @DisgruntleReads As a consequence, I dont anticipate a dilution of what the Black List is. #scriptchat
