There was an earlier suggestion for me to throw my script up for Script Club II (or III). It is horror though, and has not been posted on this site yet.
If we can get enough people to show interest in this forum, I'd be willing to give it a shot. If not, that's cool as well.
Okay, so should we stick a fork in this one and call it done?
If so, lets have some suggestions for a new script to consider. Some have already offered theirs. Personally I don't care what genre, but I'd like for it to be something written by someone who's an active member on these boards and does not have a script with millions of reviews already. Other than that anything is fine with me.
Honestly, I'd prefer something Action or Sci-Fi since those two genres almost never get read. Then again, that might have something to do with contributing members avoiding said genres. Anyway, just my thoughts. I'll be down for whatever, so long as my next semester isn't as heavy duty as the past two and I actually have time to read.
Let's put somebody in charge here and make a decision.
Pia has been dubbed the unofficial sponser of script club, but anybody is free to pick up the baton if she does not have time.
I would count 60+ posts as a success. Sorry I did not have time to participate on this one, James, but I hope you got something useful out of it.

Your script would have to be posted on the boards, D.S. I think that is the only point that is not negotiable.
So we will drop the gavel on Script Club II -- I will lock it in a few days, once we are sure everybody is done here -- and this is the link to the discussion thread to use while Script Club is in a holding pattern as interested parties -- anybody is welcome -- decide what to do next.
I don't want to be in charge of this, but I will offer my script up. I have no problem posting it on the boards either.
I have reviewed a ton of scripts in here, and maybe, just maybe, some of those people would like to see what I have to offer and where I'm coming from (or just get the chance to tear my script apart, like I've done in the past).
Bert, do you want to retake the helm here? I think you did a good job on the first Script Club. You could probably drum up interest also, as we didn't have many different view points in this last attempt.
Let me know.
[bert's edit: This thread is for James' script. Please take general "Script Club" discussion to the "Script Club Discussion Thread".]
It had a few sci-fi elements but I got more of a horror/comedy vibe than anything else.

I am personally not into Sci-Fi or action, but am willing to go with whatever is decided on.
Not so much me either. I'd just like to check out something new. SS has become more and more of a horror place over the years. Not a bad thing at all, in fact the scripts have gotten better and better and the fanfic numbers have gone down. It's just nice to read something else every now and again. That's why I'm not currently writing horror, to tell you the truth.
I've visited the sci-fi/action section. It's difficult to pick one because the people who appear to be active poster have had a number of reviews already, and we don't want to go over something with pages of reviews already, do we? And alot of the others are between posters with less than 10 posts themselves. Others with no reviews or response by the author so you don't know if they are really active members, and they date back 2006.
When it comes to genre, I'm like good premise is a good premise and good story is a good story. I only stay in the horror section because it has the active people. I too would like to read something other than a horror or comedy. Though I am reading the really good script in the horror section called "Hope Falls" if anybody wants to take a look at that, not for script club just recommedation from me. I'm going to back a survey the sci-fi/action again, there has to be something.
