Well, details on how the Black List Nicholl (i.e the Black Hole) merger will work are out: https://www.reddit.com/r/Screenwriting/comments/1kfeyuo/nicholl_blacklis...

People are not happy.

Turns out having a subreddit that's effectively one big advert for three services is a bad thing.

We'll start seeing the phrase "I placed in Nicholl when it actually meant something."

And that makes me feel so sorry for the people who are going to win it from now on. It's going to be such a tainted victory.

You beat me to it, CJ. I read this yesterday and meant to post.

It ended up being worse than I anticipated (and I'm a pretty skeptical person). Now, people are still gonna apply, but as you've stated: The Nicholls are dead. Rest in peace.
