House rule

Written by writers.

Scriptageddon uses AI to read your screenplay and tell you what's working and what isn't. We don't reward screenplays that AI wrote. The prizes here are for the person holding the pen.

Every read gets an authorship scan

Before your notes are written, Don Chuy scans the actual pages of your screenplay — dialogue, action lines and formatting — for signs of AI-generated writing. It never changes your score.

You see your AI score. Nobody else does.

Your report shows your AI score, like "92% human · 8% AI", right beside your verdict. Only you and the Scriptageddon owner can see it. It never shows on public profiles, the Wall of Fame, or shared links.

20% or more AI puts rewards on hold

If a screenplay reads as 20% or more AI, it's held from rewards until a human reviews it. That covers Gold Laurels, Elite status, Score Ladder rewards, trophies, contests, leaderboards, marketplace discovery and homepage features. Your report and your notes stay fully yours.

What happens during a review

A hold isn't an accusation. Detection is an estimate, and polished human writing sometimes trips it. The owner reads the flagged pages. If they're yours, the hold lifts and every reward you earned is released. If the review confirms AI-generated material, that read stays out of rewards and standings for good. You keep the report either way.

Using AI for research, spelling, or feedback like ours is fine. Handing the actual writing to a machine isn't.
