The first platform for visual storytelling

How Scriptory Started

Scriptory started because I couldn’t understand why people who want to tell stories for the screen don’t have an accessible place online to share their work. At first, I only thought about screenwriters and filmmakers.

But then I realized something.

Authors and fanfiction writers may not write for the screen, but they still think visually — making playlists, collecting moodboards, creating art, imagining scenes, and sometimes picturing what their story would feel like as a movie or show one day. So it didn’t make sense to limit Scriptory to one medium. Books and movies are different formats, but they come from the same place: the desire to tell a story and build a world.

The Problem With Most Platforms

Many popular story-sharing platforms don’t really leave space for one of the most important (and in my opinion, the most fun) parts of writing: worldbuilding.

It’s almost like you’re expected to build everything somewhere else, then come back only when you have a “finished product.”

What If the Building Stage Mattered Too?

What if visuals, playlists, and fancasts, were part of the story?

What if readers could discover stories not just through tags and summaries, but through the visuals — a way to see your story the way you see it while you’re still creating it?

I want a place where readers find stories through shared interests — and what better way than letting them step inside the world as it’s being built?

Why Scriptory Exists

A lot of platforms prioritize reads, likes, follows, fast uploads, and finished work. With algorithms running everything, discovery starts to feel less about creativity and more about gaming the system.

I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of trying to please an algorithm just to get my story seen.

Over time, platforms that focus only on numbers end up pushing creators into boxes and rewarding the same kinds of stories over and over again. Scriptory is my attempt to push back against that — and make writing feel fun again.
