I've heard of SS quite some time ago but thought it was a database of Hollywood Scripts. I had no idea it had a peer review component. I'm a "sorta" wannabe writer. I don't have a drawer full of screenplays. I have one completed that I've been polishing forever, and a second half-done that I haven't worked on in months. I've also started a TV pilot.  The game changer is that I now have a laptop, so writing has become a bit easier now that I can change rooms when I must.

I've done some peer review before and hope to contribute adequately here.

Hello PM

Welcome to SS.

As you will see, indeed probably already know, it has it's ups and downs but it's a great place to learn and keep up to date.

Usual advice;

Read and review before posting so that you have earned reads back from the regulars

Use the portal button, if you didn't know, as this is the best way to see what is happening

Cheers

Welcome to SS.

Hope you find this a great learning tool. There are some many great writers here who are willing to lend a helping hand.

Any chance we'll be seeing that 'completed, but been polishing for ages' script in the near future?

Hello and welcome, pm.

Good advice from everyone.  Cast an eye over a few scripts and you'll get yourself a few reviews on 'Stormangels'.

Hey Paul,

Welcome aboard. I’m a frequent but not very active member at Talentville so know you’ve got a lot to contribute so hope to see you around the boards. It’s always nice to have talented authors with strong ideas around.

The difference here from TV is the “quid quo pro” factor. There are no assignments and it’s up to you to choose what you’d like to read.  Remember though to always try to read active members which contribute and they will in turn return the read.

See you around the boards. :)

Steve

Hey Paul!

Good to see you posting over here!
You're someone very deserving of a shout out...

I met Paul while checking out Talentville.
He posted a sterling comprehensive review of Zombie Playground.
Imagine my surprise when I read his fine fantasy tale in return.

He's a keeper, guys! ;D
I encourage you all to give Stormangels a look see!

Welcome, PM, nice to meet you. I've actually heard good things about your script already. I will try to get to it soon, at least to read the first act. I will send the notes privately, as my days of posting public reviews here are over I think.
