Glad I found these boards. I've been part of other writers forums before and enjoyed them, found I learned quite a bit from them.  This place looks pretty active--and ironically I've been reading TV/movie scripts accessed via the main boards of SS for a few years without ever realizing there was this forum.

As for me, writing is both obsessive and fun--as well as maddening. I've jumped between writing plays, novels, TV and movie scripts since the 90s. I'm up to about my 10th screenplay. Recently I read (or tried to read) the first 3 screenplays I ever wrote years ago... Lord, were they bad. Epic, bad. Breaking new ground of badness.

Right now I have a comedy and two horrors making the contest circuit. Look forward to learning new things here at SS. I've lurked for a while and there seem to be some very creative, very knowledgeable, and very helpful peeps here. Also look forward to reading other members' scripts and adding my 2 cents when I can.

Welcome to the boards - hope you don't sting!

Kind Regards,

Eoin

Hi there - not too sure what your name is, but welcome. Good to see you've a bit of experience behind you - that's always useful. Jump in and give your opinion, it's all good.

Welcome to the boards Manowar

I love this place!

D

I love it here too.  More than my own mother and food.  The last sentence was a major lie BTW.

Anyways, welcome!  It's give and take here.  You have to read to get reads.  Hopefully you're cool.  You seem like it.  Nice picture, haha.

Far from it. I found that (usually) the crits that sting come from know-it-alls, which I'm not one. I like to receive constructive criticism, so I try to offer the same if I have anything to add. But please don't think I consider myself an expert. I know I'm not. If I were, I wouldn't need to seek wisdow from you all.

I probably should've spelled it man-o-war, as in the lethal jellyfish (not the racehorse or warship).

My first day and already I messed up! And on my name, no less.

@ Curt and D:

Thanks. Looking forward to jumping in some of the threads before I read other peoples' material. I'm not a prolific poster though. I might have a dozen one day, then none for a week. Hope that's not seen as bad form.

And BTW, I'm not a fly-by-nighter, looking to make a few posts then submitting a script and ditching the site after I receive crits. I probably won't submit anything till later in the summer anyway. Maybe sooner if I get stuck on something I'm working on and need advice, inspiration, or a good b1tch-slap.

Okay...I'm up to two mistakes on my first day. I should quit while I'm behind.

It's fine.  We're all human!  I think I got drunk and posted an audio clip of my hatred towards question marks on my first day.

My brand of humour isn't for everyone, but I'm converting the world one bad joke at a time
