Hi everyone!

Been years since I posted to SS, but it's good to see a few familiar names and faces around!

For those who don't know me, I'm Daniel, and I live in New Zealand. I posted fairly regularly to SS when I was still in high school a couple of years back. Since then, I left for university, got myself a degree in Criminology and, now that I'm beginning to think about the next chapter in my life, I'm looking to start writing again.

I'm very dusty, and I don't have any writing ideas at the moment, but I'm sure they'll come to me as I get back into things. For now, I'll just quietly read some of your work, provide my (seriously underqualified) thoughts, and hopefully get to know some of you more.

Looking forward to rejoining over the next few weeks :)

Dan

Oh, I remember you, Kiwi Dan!

Welcome back to the zoo.   ;D

P.S. Criminology, eh? That'd be good for a few scripts.

I remember you! Welcome back!

Sounds to me that a degree in criminology could be a GREAT asset if you like writing crime stories.  8)

Hey!!!! A fellow Kiwi!!!!! I've been living in Ohio for 8 years now. Originally from Christchurch. Funny thing too is I would love to have studied criminology but they didn't offer that at Canterbury Uni so I did a Psyc degree instead.

Anyways welcome back and I look forward to seeing your work...

Great to see another Kiwi hanging around here!

Canterbury uni does have a criminology department now, although they call it 'criminal justice' or something like that instead. If you're ever interested in returning to study, I'm sure they'd be happy to have you, although as a Vic Uni alumni, I am somewhat obliged to say that our Crim department is better :)

Thanks for the welcome!

Hello Daniel, I'm new to SS as a member, but have been reading scripts for a while until I decided to become a member. I understand how chapters come and go and you have to go with the flow but eventually, your truth always calls back and puts you back on track.

Nice to meet you.

We haven't met yet Dan, so let me introduce myself, I'm Yuvraj(you can see on my avatar but still) and should I say nice to meet you or something along those lines. You know it's virtual so I can't come up with a better intro.

Anyways, as everyone's saying, WELCOME BACK dude.

Let's see what the criminologist got here.

Welcome back Dan....

Criminology... You do know there is a thin line between being on one side of the law and the other :) Just kidding.
Hope you are well and that I didn't twist your mind too much with the screenplay that you helped me out on :)
Maybe it's my screenplay that encouraged you to take that pathway in University ? Or at least hopefully it helped.

By the way, I'm not back on board yet as I just seem to pop in for a look every now and then and saw your post.

I'm around 12 months away from being here regularly so you've got a head start on me.

Good luck mate.

Regards

Hey

Welcome back. I remember you.

I don’t post at all, just linger here invisibly. Can’t wait to read any of your work.
