Are Non-Screenwriters Allowed Here?

Is this for all writers or just screenwriters?

I've written articles, commentaries, short stories and novels and teach a community writing class twice a month.

But, I don't know anything about screenplays other than they are totally different than most other forms of writing.

Re: Are Non-Screenwriters Allowed Here?

Screenwriters Only. GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!!! 😝

Okay, okay, okay.

I walked into that one. Thank you for the fun and smartass welcome. You're clearly a writer! 😉

Wow, is that why this board is what it is? Because we are writers? [facepalm]


Okay, seriously: A warm welcome to you, bubblegum_jenocide.

If you would like to start reading scripts (perhaps the scripts of your favourite movies), here is a link to a site that might interest you: http://www.simplyscripts.com/movie-screenplays.html

Re: Are Non-Screenwriters Allowed Here?

Welcome.

This board's kind of died off over the last while, but is overdue for a resurgence. And you wouldn't be the only non-screenwriter.

All roads lead to truth if you're willing to travel honestly.

Re: Are Non-Screenwriters Allowed Here?

I've never even tried a screenplay and have no plans to change that. But they tolerate me because I write other stuff.

SPEED
Don't mistake my silence for weakness. Nobody plans murders out loud.

Re: Are Non-Screenwriters Allowed Here?

Thx for the welcome everyone.

No, but the description reads: "Discuss your craft with other screenwriters."

Please delete me, let me go…

If this were only for actual screenwriters there wouldn't be many posts. Most of the other screenwriters have been driven out (and I'm on someone's hitlist) - so Bob, who had 3 films produced in 2014, 2 in 2015, and 2 in 2016, isn't around anymore. Nor are any of the others (we used to meet and drink together every so often) - if there is still a FAQ thread, the working pros were the people who posted under their own names because they had nothing to hide. I seldom post here because I keep getting deleted. The weird thing here is that anyone who knows what they are talking about usually gets run off, so that the lunatics can run the asylum.

There's another board that is designed for people to talk about their favorite screenwriters... but that's a ghost town.

So post away - everyone who is working now was once trying to break in... and some of the folks here are pro writers in other areas (like you).

Let's see if this post gets deleted...

Why do I feel slighted?😅

I don't think the OP was asking about pro vs. amateur. More screenwriting vs. other types of writing.

Re: Please delete me, let me go…

I think the FAQ threads are all long gone. Bob's a great guy as well as being a very talented screenwriter. Really looking forward to seeing one of the screenplays I was lucky enough to read hit the big screen soon. It's a cracking story and script. When I first began posting here there were a bunch of pro screenwriters and those who worked in the industry in one capacity or another. They're sadly missed, though you can find a couple of them hanging around in other places.

Cannot for the life of me think why someone keeps reporting your posts. Same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. Clearly just some daft asshat who's got a puerile grudge. They need a bigger pair of pants.
