Just thought I'd sign up, as per the recommendation of another user. He has said nothing but good things so I hope to meet new people here, and improve as a writer. Like most of you I'm sure.

Interested in to getting to know you all, and upload a script or ten ;)

I am from Northern Ireland and just started my first spec.

hey mate,

Welcome, I agree with your friend, this site is great for all levels of writing.

Good luck with your first spec script and don't forget to jump in and review a few scripts in between writing.

Look forward to reading your first script.

Michael

Thanks Michael. My name is Steve btw.

Any suggestions on somewhere to start off with my reading?

I'm a sucker for anything Satire or Slasher Horror... or if it's not too crazy, both.

Hi there. Welcome to SS. I'm sure you'll be a valuable member to the community.

Make sure you read and provide feedback on other screenplays if you want other members to return the favor. That's how it works here. Treat others like you would like to be treated and you will be a reward. Plague the boards with your scripts without reading any others, you won't be rewarded.

Welcome aboard.

Hi Steve, welcome to SS.

As Dan says, this site is about taking part, if you do it is a great place to learn.

Thanks guys. Yeah. That's my end-game here, to learn. I find reading someone else's script and spotting a weakness is every bit an aid as writing at times. I'll spot something they've done wrong then look for that in my own script. Plus, getting to read scripts critically helps when I have to edit.

Yes!  You joined!  Welcome aboard!  I would recommend Thistles, like I previously said, if you're looking for a great drama.  

Hope you like it here.  Make sure to get stuck in!

Welcome aboard, Steve.

SS is the greatest place to learn and help at the same time.  Always good to have some new blood in the water.

Welcome in. I see you've got Kurtwood Smith as your avatar. Pretty sure some will find it offensive. Hope your writing's better.

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah. My favorite villain in cinema.

WE WILL DEVOUR YOUR FUCKIN' SOUL!!!!!!

Sorry about the upper caps.  Terribly rude of me.  Welcome to the boards.


Phil

Haha. Why don't ya come down here and I'll suck your c*** pretty boy!

Thanks for the welcome.

WTF?

Line from Evil Dead (2013). In response to "WE WILL DEVOUR YOUR f****n' SOUL!!!!!!" which is also a line from the movie. If it's in poor taste I apologize.

Ah...yes it is.  I remember it now.

Wasn't sure what the fuck was going on here!

Those Northern Irish are weird !!! Welcome

Mark

Haha. Thanks guys. Hopefully be able to review a few scripts starting next week. Hunting for a 'real' job is tiring. ;)

Steve,

Welcome to SS. A great place to learn from the very best! Hope to see you around.

- Dirk

Thanks Dirk, same to you.

Hey Steve.

Welcome to the site.  Hope you enjoy it here and can't wait to check out some of your stuff.

- Mark

Thanks Mark. I just read Burnside there. Short done right. You've said a lot about the world without even saying it really. Subtly. The sense of time and place is simple but elegant. Whilst Oscar and his story is depressing it is very relatable, even at 22, I have witnessed life like this. Great job!

I would like to read your features as the writing is seamless but the stories just aren't my cup of tea, unfortunately. Starting Ginger now.
