So, hello everyone at Simply Scripts.  I am not good usually at these introductions, but I thought I'd do one since I want to get to know people here.

Well, I live in Northern Ireland.  The city of Belfast (Titanic was built here, impressive right?  Yes?  No?).  I am a student.  I have a part-time job at a fashion retailer.  I am 16 years old.  And my dream, like everyone else here probably, is to make it big as a screen-writer.

I've written a surge of horror/slasher fan fictions.  But recently finished Blake Snyder's Save The Cat! and have since finished my first spec-script.  When I figure put how to apply it to be uploaded, I shall do do it!

So, I have been lurking here for ages.  You all seem nice and this seems like an awesome community.  I hope to make good friends and improve as a screenwriter.

Hey, AIK -

Welcome to SS!  Looking forward to seeing your script up on the portal.  Think you'll be in good company here: there are tons of horror fans on the board. And - I assure you - you'll get lots of input (both good and bad.)  Keep your eyes open, be willing to learn ...and you'll have fun.  This is a great group of people....and very educational, too.

Welcome to SS.

Just be honest with your opinions and thoughts and you should fit in nicely.

One quick question, are we allowed to know your name...?

Good luck with your writing.

Arty.

Welcome to SS Good to meetcha. Look forward to reading your scripts

dena aka pale yellow

and welcome to the boards.


Phil

Okay.  Hands down Phil's welcoming was the best.  Just sayin.  Lol.

And my name is Curtis, btw.  But I have many nicknames.  Call me Curty or Curty Pie or Curtypop or anything really.  The script I will be posting is my first proper attempt at a spec script and it is a drama, I'll make sure to submit it later.

Thanks everyone for the welcomes!

Until your script shows up on the board Curt, you should read/review other people's scripts.  It will help you get read when it's your time.


Phil

I shall do that . I was wondering if anyone could suggest any good coming of age scripts.  Teenage angst.  Stuff like that.  That be muh wantz, lol.

Welcome aboard, Curt.

If you've been lurking, you know SS is a Quid Pro Quo kind of world, so as Phil recommended, jump in now and make yourself known by reading and commenting on lots of scripts. It will really help when you post your won work.

Hey Curt,

Welcome aboard. Not sure about teen angst, but I would suggest these two:

Left Hand Paths http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-drama/m-1335647344/s-new/

Thistles http://www.simplyscripts.net/cgi-bin/Blah/Blah.pl?b-drama/m-1317851707/s-new/

They combine drama and horror. They involve teenagers. And, imo, will mess you up.

Hope you enjoy it here.

Hey curt welcome - no need to repeat the advice above, it's all sound.

My only other thing is to recommend using the portal button, if you didn't already know.

So far, Mr.Ripley, Thistles has been awesome. . Thanks for the welcome!

Hey Reef, thanks!  And I feel like such a blonde, what's the portal button? Lol.

Top of the discussion board - press it and it shows all current active threads.

Leave reviews, Curt. No matter if you think you're not fit to critique. Opinion's are gold here.

Gabe

PS. sorry for not capitalizing C in your name.

Yeah, that's my main concerns about leaving reviews here.  I don't want people to be all "oh, he's only 16.  He's a darn kid, what does he know!" when I am leaving a critique, so hopefully it doesn't go that way!

I'm actually just about half-way done Thistles   

And thanks, Reef!
