What changed, and when.

Scriptageddon 2.7 — Contests, Buyer Fit, Ask Don Chuy, and the Outcomes Ledger

• The Scriptageddon Contest is on the board: a Coming Soon page with the rules stated up front, plus the Contest Command Center — a tracker for outside contests with deadlines, fees, a season budget, and honest writer ratings.
• Buyer Fit & Market Read: Don Bandito's industry desk reads your report for comps, likely buyers, a budget band, and the current market temperature on that kind of story.
• Ask Don Chuy about your report: two free follow-up questions on every read, then one Red Pen Pass per answer, capped at ten questions before it becomes a new draft instead of a conversation.
• The Outcomes Ledger: a public, crawlable page of verified writer wins — sales, signings, options and placements — with proof attached instead of promises.
• Human-Written Verified: reads that clearly carry a human hand get the mark, and its absence is never treated as an accusation.
• Writer profiles were rebuilt around the strongest work — a spotlight project, best scores, and a cleaner slate to hand to the industry.

Scriptageddon 2.6 — TV pilots, Writers' Rooms, and the SCRIPT-ageddon Library

• TV pilots, stage plays, and books now get their own fifteen-category rubrics — renamed for the format — with a hybrid coin scale and a 210 Elite line for non-feature work.
• Writers' Rooms: private collaboration rooms where a writing team can share drafts, notes, and progress in one place.
• Query & Pitch Desk: premium query-letter and pitch grading, so the package around your script survives the same scrutiny as the pages.
• Verified LinkedIn badges on writer profiles, so the industry desk can see a real career behind the pen name.
• Show Files: attach episodes and chapters to a series shelf, reorder them by drag-and-drop, edit season/episode numbers, and watch per-entry score trends across submissions.
• The SCRIPT-ageddon Library: a searchable, filterable library of 650+ real produced screenplays, paged for fast loading on any device, with copy-link, preview, and PDF actions on every script.
• The Template Vault doubled — twelve new downloadable Word templates, from TV series bibles and co-writer agreements to submission trackers and revision-color guides.
• The site menu and footer were rebuilt around how a visitor actually thinks: Start Here, Tools & Library, Jobs & Opportunities, Community, Learn & News, and The House — no more hunting through one long list.
• The Merch Stall is on the map with its own page ahead of the first drop.

Scriptageddon 2.5 — the Red Pen release

• Red Pen Passes: scene-, act- and chapter-level notes taken apart line by line, plus a Dialogue X-Ray across your whole cast. Three passes ride along free with every complete assessment, with 3- and 10-pass packs available on their own.
• Every complete read is now a true start-to-finish pass over the whole screenplay, broken down by act and chapter so you can see exactly where the story gains or loses ground.
• Limited reads now come in two shapes — First 60 Pages and Last 60 Pages — clearly labeled, with a preview of what each scope includes before you spend anything.
• Draft-to-draft progress reports: an animated side-by-side card showing exactly which of the fifteen categories moved, and by how much, between drafts.
• Accuracy overhaul: real page markers pulled from Final Draft and Word files, so citations point at the page they actually came from, plus a category identity contract and consistency gate that block a report whose analysis has drifted into the wrong category.
• Fairness calibration so strong professional-grade screenplays are no longer scored down by extraction damage or scope, and a resilient engine that retries a long read instead of failing it.
• The Elite Token: every perk a 205+ Armageddon Score earns, bought outright for five months, in its own gold panel on Pricing & Access.
• Pricing & Access rebuilt as expandable panels — each tier, reward and perk opens in place instead of one endless page — and Red Pen packs are now visible to everyone, signed in or not.
• Leave the page while Don Chuy reads: the Reading Desk runs the assessment in the background with a live progress pill and tells you when it lands.
• Support now routes through the in-app Help Desk, and disputed reports are excluded from the laurel rooms.
• Security hardening: scores, credits and producer-ready flags can no longer be changed from the browser, with a locked test suite guarding it.

Scriptageddon 2.0 — the storybook rebuild

• A brand-new 225-point read: fifteen categories scored 0.0–15.0 each, with ink-ring dials that reveal the score category by category.
• New laurel lines: the golden laurel now starts at 205, and silver rooms cover 150–204.9 by genre.
• The whole site was redrawn in mid-century storybook art — Don Chuy, Don Bandito, Don Paco, Don Franco and Don Rowdy included — with Light, Dawn and Night rooms that transition as you move.
• Gold laurel cards now seat writers, not scripts: your best five 205+ projects ride along on your card, with a toggle to open the full shelf.
• Silver genre rooms became dropdowns, and a writer search opens the exact room a writer is seated in.
• One-click account merging on your profile, a merge grace period for flagged accounts, and an owner-side audit trail of every laurel and trophy change.
• Recompute rewards: a single action re-derives every writer's laurels and trophies under the current scale, with a preview before anything is applied.

Recompute, regression tests, and the reward ledger

• Owner-only “Recompute rewards” pass re-derives laurels and trophies for every writer from stored scores.
• A locked regression suite guards the scoring scale so a rules change can never silently move a laurel.
• Trophy backfill awarded the honors writers had already earned under the new scale.

Storybook polish, top to bottom

• Page-specific illustrations for the Leaderboard, Assess, Academy, Job Board and The Wire.
• Mobile layouts reworked so the score slabs, laurel cards and rooms hold up on a phone.
• Every legacy 3D character asset retired in favor of the storybook crew.

Don Chuy's calibration overhaul

• Don Chuy now runs a dedicated calibration and self-consistency pass, so one stray category can no longer contradict the rest of the read.
• Voice dials: House Style, Roast Mode, The Professor, The Executive, and Gentle Mentor change the tone of a read without touching the score.
• “Grey screenplay” defense normalizes damaged PDF and OCR uploads so writers are never scored down for extraction artifacts.
• Every category now ends with a portable craft lesson, shown in the report, the sample read, and the exported PDF.
• Writers can flag a review mismatch from the report page; those signals feed future calibration.
• Faster reads: the cross-check and calibration stages were merged, and long scripts are indexed in parallel slices.

The Hazard Job Board grows up

• Added Roadmap Writers, Backstage, WGA notices, Sundance, and Film Independent as job sources.
• Automatic source health checks hide dead or removed desks from the board.
• Saved-job email alerts, faster filtering, and accessible job cards.
• Job Board and Opportunity Board now require a free Scriptageddon account.

Laurels, rooms, and a real sign-in

• Wall of Fame rebuilt with Gold laurels and per-genre Silver rooms, including multi-genre placement.
• Writer room-finder search and clearer laurel rules, including the three-project tie-breaker.
• Sign-in overhauled with Google, Apple, and Microsoft plus a post-sign-in profile step.

Community, industry access, and the Creator desk

• Community feed for sharing scores and progress.
• Industry VIP access with a vetted approval workflow and messaging.
• Hidden Creator desk with the submission registry and credit visibility.

Entitlements, drafts, and the roadmap

• Three full assessments and five limited five-category reads per writer, with progress tracked across drafts.
• New drafts of the same project are linked so writers can see the jump between versions.
• Public roadmap page, plus account merge and writing-partner invites.

The Wire, the Logline Lab, and the opening detonation

• The Wire: a daily screenwriting news, tips and video desk.
• Logline Lab and the mood-based ambient score with selectable presets.
• The opening detonation animation and the opt-in pen-name leaderboard.
