Yeah, any opinion is better than no opinion...in my opinion. People are grateful of any input and gladly return the favor. So best of luck, can't wait to check out some of your writing.
And ohhh, I already gots a nickname! Success! Woo! Curty Popsicles, haha. Thanks! And I'm excited to get my work here too. The script I'll post is like my first proper spec-script.
I've written a few fan-fictions (Scream 5, Scream 6, Friday the 13th reboot) but I would never dream of posting theme here since I wrote them when I was first starting out.
I also have written a horror script called The Black Bay Woods. I might/might not post it here. Before I post anything though, I will review a couple scripts first
YOU'RE ALL SO NICE AND NON-MURDEROUS.
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
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!
You write this as if a teen's opinion is worth less than someone older. In reality, we need opinions from a wide variety of people to see how our scripts hold up.
Oh - and one more bit of advice about reviews? My two cents (although I'm sure it'll be echoed by everyone else.)
Don't hold back. Don't worry about hurting someone's feelings. Say exactly what you feel. Be respectful, of course. And don't pick things apart for no reason.
But in the world of writing, constructive criticism is far, far more valuable than sugarcoated praise...
@Crooke -- Thanks! Oh, I guess you guys can call me Curt, since everyone seems to write that and it gives me an excuse to leave out two letters in my name when typing. I be lazy.
"No matter what you do, your job is to tell your story..."
The more you read other people's scripts the faster others are willing to return the favor.
Don't worry about your age, we have quite a few youngsters on this site. Including Dan Botha aka (Jeff Jr. in training) who's your age. He's come a long way in a short time with his writing and reviews and I'm sure if you're willing to put in the time and energy that he has nobody will even notice that your a teenager.
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!"
Trust me mate, no one on the boards is like that. I'm 15 years old and I have yet to have someone criticize me purely on my age. They're all incredibly friendly and encouraging as long as you treat others the same way.
Welcome to the boards. If you're serious about writing, stick around. It's a great place to learn.
Oh yeah, 'Thistles' is also my favourite script on the boards. I have a feeling you and I are going to get on just fine CurtyPoo/Pie/Pop.
New members are awesome when you give us so many nicknames to reference you by
You're in for a nice surprise . In all seriousness, if you ever get a review from Jeff don't take it personally. He'll ht it hard, but it's all worth it
