Hi,
I'm new to PaperTank, but couldn't find a FAQ about article submissions. (Please forgive me if it appears that I am blind/stupid.)
I have a screenplay that I finished about a year ago. I haven;t really done anything with it, but thought it would be nice to sahre it and get some feedback.
Is it possible to submit the entire script, or is it usual just to submit a portion. I would prefer to submit the whole thing.
Magikat.

Welcome Magikat!
Screenplays are definitely welcome here. However you may only want to submit only a portion that people can get through in one reading session. Usually instead of submitting entire books, authors submit chapters, so the same case would probably go well with your screenplay, instead with a few "scenes" at a time.
I think your best bet is to look around at posted articles and base the length of your submission on that.

Just some further clarification: There's no rule against submitting an entire screenplay, and as far as I know, there are no technical restrictions regarding length. (If there is a maximum length for article submissions, it's so large that no one has ever complained.) However, if you submit a very long piece of writing, the average internet surfer probably won't have the patience to read the entire thing, and you might not receive as much feedback as the authors of shorter articles would. That's just the way things are : )
