The only time I purchase paid is if they have some free script for me to check first, but I agree on needing to add a description if it’s frame by frame or not. If that info isn’t included, I don’t even bother unless its a vid I like.
I’ve been liking the recent trend of JAV scripts that has one part free while rest is paid. Gives me a chance to see if it’s to my liking.
side note- I wish more paid scripters participate in the community event. There was a lily larimer script vid that looked interesting and what convinced me to buy was that they were in the top 3 winners.
I would agree that scripters do need to hold themselves accountable for paid content quality. I usually will upload about 2-3 minutes of sample script for my 5-10 minute files that is free for anyone to download and also have multiple free scripts available so people know exactly what they should be expecting.
Hmmm, that would risk giving people the chance to comment. Which, in my opinion, is absolutely insane. I don’t want to give more people the chance to vote or share their opinion on anything.
Whoever founded this place can probably solve problems better than others, its inherent to development. I’d rather just trust them than risk giving stupid people the power to vote and a voice. Lol, if this were a country it’d be a dictatorship. Sounds horrible when I put it that way but I say it with slight sarcasm and some degree of honesty.
I just come here to jerk off and share all these beautiful women I find and script. People too busy voting and sharing their bad opinions and they end up with less time to find something good to look at. Take my portfolio for example, it’s a curated list that epitomizes feminine perfection. Inside you will find the cream of the crop. The crème de la crème. The creme de… well, you get it. Why do these other people have such low standards its gross and weird, maybe if they had some decisions made for them they would have more time to up their game. Its pathetic, Shame. And yeah, I understand my taste isn’t absolute and other people like other things. I’m just saying that those other people are wrong and their opinions shouldn’t count anyways… I was going to put an emoji here to help express how light hearted this is meant. But I think emojis are for pussies so I cant do it. Just know I tried though. You have to admit this was a solid segue to advertise. How could you not subscribe after witnessing such fucking mastery.
This has turned me into a regular paypig for some scripters. It’s a good show of faith as well.
I’m never gonna buy scripts from someone that only releases paid scripts, or doesn’t put any effort into the post, like no previews or heatmaps.
More paid scripts isn’t a bad thing as long as a certain standard of quality is upheld, but it kinda has to be enforced by the site in some way, if it’s left up to users to vote with their wallet, then you’ll get people with way too much money buying all the slop, then more slop will get made.
I agree that quality is an issue. I’m glad to see direct purchase links from some sellers rather than Patreon. Even if it can be more expensive in the long run the exchange is clear - I pay this much for that script. With Patreon there are a lot of vague promises of delivery and potentially lots of content not to my taste.
That said, one thing I’ve noticed is some newer paid scripters clearly do not actually follow this forum. They post paid scripts weeks or months after free versions of the same scripts are made available. And some of them are really salty when this is pointed out.
If I notice a duplicate script I generally try to post so there’s a cross-link between the two. I do this for free and paid content. I’ve had my posts reported - presumably by the paid scripter who doesn’t like competition - which seems really anti-community. No one made you script a scene that was already scripted asshole.
The only paid scripts I’ve been satisfied with were commissions or done frame-by-frame. Frame-by-frame precision and testing are a must if you’re charging. I also don’t think that just because a script is classified as Paid Scripts scripts, it should restrict someone from uploading a free variant. If the content is locked in a monthly Patreon subscription, and the quality is subpar, I see no issue. How does this individual get the right to have complete access to a scene/video and complete distribution and production rights for funscripts?
I will glady supoort paid.
They need to enjoy while it last. We all know it only takes one smart mfker fronm google, fb etc to perfect the AI self scripting.
Then handcraft scriptors will no longer be needed.
In terms of quality issue I suggest everyone to leave feedback for scripts, especially the ones they’ve paid for.
If the strokes are too short, say it. If it doesn’t work with your device, say it. If some sections feels wrong, say it. Just make sure to be polite and constructive.
Seriously, I don’t get why paid scripters provide the least amount of info for their scripts, and the shittiest video quality, no paid links, etc. I get that they’re trying to stay under the radar, but for Patreon and most video types these days I don’t think it’s necessary, idk. I think mega is only deleting the loli stuff for now, too, so there shouldn’t be an issue…
Why bother? A lot of buyers probably only care about the related video, which they probably already know.
Its a normal practice in sales, any information you give can be a reason for people to avoid. Long texts are most of the time not desired.
Giving such info gives effort, and if you are going for paid scripts, it therefor does actualy cost money as that time can be spent on other scripts.
In the end, i think AI scripting is just going to take over for any action based video. Only for pmvs the personal touch brings a unique value that, but even here at some point AI can do a quite good judgement (analyzing music isnt old, and for pmvs its usualy visuals, music and a general intensity build up. something AI can definitely handle).
AI when you can localy run it has a massive advantage as you can provide some important information that makes it adjust the script towards you.
There is going to be a point where paid scripting isnt worth it. You are better of designing an AI that can script for you and tweak it based on some settings. And then provide that as a paid service (which SLR is doing afaik).
In my opinion, coming from a non scripter, I’m fine with people monetizing their scripts even if they don’t provide a free link to the video, but I think a great way to encentivize people to buy more scripts is to force people to make free scripts…
Okay let me explain, so what if, paid scripts have to be at minimum 1 minute long (not counting a 15 second video with an extended 1+ minute loop version, that’s cheating imo)
Or, make it so everyones first script has to be free, and for every 5 or so paid scripts have to be followed up by at least 1 free script before you can post another paid scripts (exact amount can be adjusted just an example) this will make more free scripts appear, and more people will buy the paid scripts as the free ones can show whether the scripter is worthy of their money before buying, think of it like a sample script
The reason for every 5 or so paid to 1 free is if you only made 1 free script ever, your scripting style would definitely have changed 10+ scripts later, so we always have a good idea of what we are getting into before giving our money. Idrc if you advertise your paid scripts on the free ones, as long as you have some free ones available,
This will also improve the paid scripts quality as they can see how well their free scripts did since they will obviously have more interaction then their paid ones, and can use that interaction data in improving their paid scripts
Tldr; I recommend a 1 free script for every few (5 or so) paid scripts, which will benefit both sides, as the customer has a better idea of how you script before spending their money, and the scripter has a wider dataset on how to improve their paid scripts.
And optionally not allow scripts under 1 minute in the paid category. 15 second videos with 1 minute loop extended versions dontcount (this one might be controversial just my opinion, and I’m up for discussion)
Personally I just hate the forums being filled with literal mystery content that you have to buy in order to find out what the videos even are. Per falafel’s guidance, I’m going to keep reporting those as I see it. It’s like a waste of time to click through people’s paid scripts and not even at least see a screenshot of the content somewhere, and then there’s no preview in the paid site as well. Just comes off as a borderline scam for people who aren’t familiar with websites like fantia.
I have no issues with paying for scripts at all.
I also don’t think you need to provide any number of free scripts if you don’t want to. I appreciate the hustle.
damn, I thought it was bad when was alternating between free/paid scripts. Nowadays I do a paid script every 3-5 free scripts. I do always make the full length hentai episodes free as well.
