ScriptHub.io — Because Everyone Loves A Good Story
How it all started
Since 2017, millions of Game of Thrones fans patiently awaited the last season of the acclaimed TV show. Given its unpredictable and complex storyline, as well as intricate character development, the story was poised to be a blockbuster.
Unfortunately for us all, Season 8 garnered the lowest ratings among GoT episode ratings and left many fans disgruntled. This article will not go into the MANY reasons why we found ourselves unhappy about it. There are plenty of stories, memes, and articles already exquisitely expressing all of GoT season 8’s failings. What this article will talk about, though, is the new platform we started as a result of disappointing Season 8 of GoT and many other shows. The shows that build us up into diehard fans only to painstakingly drain our spirits through each arduous episode until the next blockbuster show comes in to save us. Or until we created ScriptHub as an alternative to save us before, during, or after the show’s tenure.
The premise is simple: create an environment where fans and writers can collaborate to develop and refine their own stories, tangents, theories, or just a chance to share an alternative narrative.
How it works
Browse through the feed and preview stories already published by community members. You can select to edit already existing story (like GoT) or create your own story.
Let’s walk through an example using GoT:
- Suppose you are a big fan of GoT and have enjoyed the show up until season 7. Also, let’s assume you wished story progressed differently starting season 8 episode 1
- You can copy GoT script up until season 7 and start writing your own ending to the show
- As you finish drafting the ending, you can publish the story and share with the community
If GoT isn’t your thing feel free to pick another show, film, or book or create your story from scratch:
- Start your own story from scratch and share with people
- Invite editors to help you shape your story
- Community members can request to contribute directly to your story OR
- Community members can request to copy your story from particular moment and build on to your story
Advantages
- Browse through the feed of stories and leave your reaction
- Create alternative narratives of the stories you love and wished ended/progressed differently
- Collaborate with other fans and authors to write the story together
- Write your own story from scratch and collaborate with others to make it even better
- Share your story in the community, and get discovered
