I vaguely remember you. I checked your previous posts and noticed that a majority of your time on the board was spent posting your own material, getting feedback, and rarely returning the favor. Now, I'm not going to discredit you, I did see you comment here and there, but not nearly as much as I think you should have. I mean, I don't want to sound harsh, but it's been nearly 3 years since you have read anything around here.
And that's how this place works. The more you run around reading everybody's stuff, the more people will notice and do the same for you. I run around and read everything I can - I even dig up old scripts (from current members) and read them, too. When my work gets posted, I get a lot of in depth reads/reviews, and it's well earned.
Now, I don't know if you left here because of this -- "Rude, arrogant, no constructive criticism and the temerity to be predisposed to berate and ridicule fellow writers without giving them the respect of reading their scripts in their entirety. This behavior has led to many good people (now including myself) to migrate from this site" -- because I see you still stuck around even after those comments, but whatever the case may be, if you're going to return to SimplyScripts pretty much after a 3 year hiatus and expect feedback on your feature, I politely suggest that you try and help others out as well.
I have nothing currently posted but I am big on spotlighting and recommending the work of others (good or bad - there's always room for improvement), so -- off the top of my head -- some scripts you could take a look at are: Static Town, Fried, Dead Waters, Never After, House of Whorrors, Bittersweet, Offline, The Farm, The Mighty Fire, just to name a few.
As for "Southern Belle," I made an attempt to read the first 10 pages but presentation/appearances go a long way and I'm afraid I just wasn't digging the writing at all. For me, there were too many glaring writing errors/mistakes (appearance/presentation), and, IMO, a huge lack of style.
