Has anyone seen or heard from SS member James Barron (MarkItZero)?
One of the best comedy writers on the site and an all-round good guy. While SS is a virtual space I still consider him a great mate who's been a massive support in my writing endeavours. It would be a loss to the site if he has moved on.
He dropped off the face of the earth months ago and I've struggled to get a hold of him.
Hey all, can confirm I'm not dead! Just been a stressful last year or so. Haven't logged in here in awhile. Hope everyone's doing well and thanks for the kind words. Looking forward to 2023 being a good year.

This should be a SS rule. Log in every once in a while to confirm continued existence.
Glad you're not dead.

Ashes - Semi-contained psychological horror thriller/Feature The Hand of God - Low budget, semi-contained thriller/Feature Wait Till Next Year - Disney-style family sports comedy/Feature
Many shorts available for production: comedy, thriller, drama, light horror
At first, I thought, we should start a thread titled: "I'm Not Dead" in which all members occasionally post to let the group know... well, that's obvious.
But, then, I thought: that's quite a bit of work. How often should I post that I'm not dead? Weekly? Monthly? It just seems too much.
So, I propose, we start a new thread titled: I'm Dead. That way, you only have to post if you die.
I'm pretty sure this will work.

I’ll never forget, many years ago, sitting in a dentist waiting room. I was all stressed out because I was getting my first root canal, so I hopped on SS and started reading a script by James. I forgot the name, but it had a guy sitting in a restroom stall taking a dump, and as he’s relieving himself he proclaims, “Fuck yeah!” I started cracking up in the waiting room, and that relieved a little of my stress until Ty was drill time.
