A portal for developing your first screenplay
This is not a promotion for a website.
This website aboutwhich I am mentioning has no ties to PFC or ots exclusive authors.
But this is where I have decided to sink my teeth into for the first time.
The website is www.zhura.com
They have the Creative Common License for any shared work that you create and let groups of writers collaborate on a story idea or script development.
I needed a solution that would cost me nothing, provide me mobility of accessing my saved work from anywhere in the world, not binding things to my computer.
While I begin this journey, would feel a lot better if we can discuss similar offerings in the market.

I would recomment Scripped (http://www.scripped.com) in addition to Zhura. Scripped doesn’t allow you to collaborate at this time, which actually makes me feel pretty good. I get all the plusses of being able to work from anywhere, and I don’t have to worry about the creative commons licensing stuff.
Scriptbuddy and Plotbot are two others, but they are not nearly as good. Scriptbuddy charges you to export to PDF.
My take – Zhura has a more robust application, but Scripped is easy-to-use if you just need a web-based, basic screenwriting app.
Jeff, by way of follow-up, please note that although Zhura allows for simple point and click collaboration, every free membership provides for a private workspace. In fact, most of our members just use Zhura for the full-featured editor that they can use in private. The Zhura editor rivals any of the expensive off-the-shelf software by offering auto-complete of characters and slug lines, character and scene summaries, and proper generation of pagination when generating .pdf files. Of course, although the editor is keystroke compatible with those costing 100’s of dollars, the ability to form private groups for peer review certainly sets us apart!

The other good one to use would be celtx www.celtx.com where the software is loaded onto your computer and you can work both in a shared mode or individual mode. Check it out also
