I finally pulled the Project Central link off my page. A short while ago the Celtx team decided to axe their free hosting service for Celtx based projects. This was called Project Central, in case you were unaware and stumbled in here drunken and confused. I had a link to my project space there along with all the other off site links at the top of each page. I finally got around to pulling mine down.

On one hand, a lot of the material that was posted there is here. The actual scripts anyway. The thing that I liked the most about Project Central was that it hosted entire Celtx projects instead of a single file. I don't just write a single script. I'm a big process kind of guy. I have notes, character bios, journals, outlines, and all kinds of other stuff to go along with the script, however many versions of the script there may be. I think there's benefit in sharing the kind of material. I know a lot of writers have problems with organization and tackling large projects. Seeing a large project can help demystify the process.

I understand, and even support, their reasons for removing the service. It was really just a large sinkhole for people to plunk up their materials. A large majority of it wasn't even seeing a set of eyes other than it's creators. Another piece of the puzzle to maintain that wasn't even integrated with the Celtx software anymore. An online resource that wasn't generating any revenue. Still sad to see it go.
