1st one for me, and it appears it's not to be taken seriously, as it's over the page limit - wait...didn't I say mine may be just over the page limit?  HMMM...

HA!  Very cute and funny.  Well done!

I'll give it 6.2 stars out of 5 stars.

Well, I actually laughed at a couple of bits.

Hey writer who I’m going to pretend I don’t know the identity of. It rambled, you could have totally got it down to 6 pages, but something tells me that was part of the deal here. It was like an art exhibit in a modern museum, you look at it for a while and have no idea what’s going on, and then just wander off and hope the creator’s okay...

It’s a sardonic take on the internetospheric interactions that we find ourselves in, got nowt really to do with what we’re writing about though, just merely an assessment of the forum that surrounds it. Over length and over my head, but I laughed so you got me there.

P.S. was listening to 9-5 by Dolly during the read (deal with it). Somehow seemed to match.

DQ - Billy wasn't introduced properly and Holiday was misspelled. Page length was spot on though!

A pisser and obvious intentional DQ from the start.  

Poor Don....

Thanks for the chuckles - enjoyed it!

Ahem... well I thought this had some fresh spicy pieces of pepperoni stuck in a puddle of stale cheese. But hey, even bad pizza is pretty good, right? ;D ;D-A

I am disheartened there was not a member called "Miranda" in this script.

I guess newbies have to win a place in SS.

Funny!

I wonder ,  if this is based on a true story . LOL

Well, you made me laugh!

Loved it. Especially loved Dave's characterisation.

Well done!

Hahaha! I liked this for what it was -- an SS inside joke. Almost felt like a Comedy Central Presents a Simply Scripts Roast, though much tamer and light-spirited. I loved the brief "Why is SS dying?" cameo with the you-know-who I'm not terribly fond of lol.

I thought to myself, "poor Dave" lol, but it's all in fun. Kinda bummed I wasn't in it but I haven't been around and present on the boards nearly as consistently as all the other "characters" lol. Twas a fun read!

this a DQ?

Ha! that was funny - my Christmas spirits have been raised Woohoo

Loved Zack asking about blood, and Barry popping up with his website gloom and doom.

Thanks for that

Writer,

Nice, even though I wasn’t included. Then again, nothing about me really stands out anyway. Good job and thanks for the fun!

Ahaha Dave. And I also liked it cause you painted us really close to the way we talk and act. Jeff is Jeff, Libby nicely done, Pia - absolutely, bloodthirsty Zack, Dustin says those things!
Lol very nice and it actually has a theme and even a story.

Thanks, Kham - glad you enjoyed it.  Glad everyone took it in the homage/comedy theme that was intended.
