I think the proudest moment of my time on SS so far was when I saw I had a couple of lines of dialogue in 'Through the Fur Trap, Simply'. Oh, the joys of acceptance!
emcee...I don't want to be harsh, but how do you expect people to take your scripts seriously when you write like that? If you want to be a pro one day. You can't write like that...
Maybe will never make it, but along d way will be 'onest.
D'you have stuff I can read?
Would appreciate that.
That's fine. Everyone here appreciates honesty. I'm being honest when I tell you that people might not take you serious as a writer if you butcher the language like that. That's all.
I don't really have anything that needs reading. Might post something soon though.
It's actually always nice to see this one resurrected. It wasn't the first "Simply" script, but did spark a renaissance anyway. #747 was finally finished by its author sometime after we wrote this (#747 Script). The author inundated us with "Coming Soon's" and then some story about how his girlfriend lost the disk, etc. etc. Seriously, the tale of its writing was more interesting than the final script. Kevin Revie is still on the boards and posts occasionally, but sadly, he had his series, The A-List, removed even before SimplyNoir went up. He was quite obsessed over Paris Hilton at the time though. Trailer Runs/Security actually did post far worse gibberish than anyone we'd ever seen before. His "dialogue" is quite authentic, I assure you. And Mr. Holman still endlessly pimps Banana Chan to this day...except now he does it on Facebook. Simplynoir was not only a parody of the people, but went beyond that to parody the state of the boards, various opinions, people's scripts, and even a fair amount of real life in there. Most of the characters reference some script they wrote in some fashion (though Wesley's is simply the line "I've had Better Days" in reference to his series). I don't believe the Cabin is referenced anywhere in this one because it wasn't a hot topic at the time. People have occasionally asked about a sequel, but Bert and I have never seriously considered it.
But thanks for reading and enjoying it.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and Dogglebe's character is 100% correct.
You can have all the fun you want, Em, but what you post on the boards affects how other see you as a writer and how they respect you. This affects, to a point, whether or not people read your scripts.
There are been people, in the past who posted on the boards like they were texting on a rollercoaster. It gets annoying to read.
And if you don't have fun writing scripts, then you shouldn't be doing it.
