Wow!
I guess I am part of the drive by poster crowd!
Gah!
Lololol!
Been layin' low for semi-therapeutic reasons.
However, that doesn't mean I don't love you and care about my IT friends.
Been ghosting here almost daily, letting new blood pay their dues.
That said,...
At the forum I haunted before this one, the one that got me into filmmaking when I realized 3/4 films are directed by their writers, they have an annual tradition of hosting a horror themed October One Week Challenge (OWC) to write a six to ten page screenplay.

It's open to anyone and everyone.
Submissions are anonymous for about a week or two during which other screenwriters post comments on both the technical format issues as well as story structure.
There's a very strong bias towards writing for winning screenwriting contests, so bring your A-game.
This is your opportunity to write completely disregarding budget and resources. Go balls out!
You'll learn a lot about a lot.
WARNING: reviews range from benign to brutal.
Deadline for uploading your PDF submission is midnight EST next Friday.
Good luck & best wishes!
Mara,
Thank you for the headzup!
I'll check out 'Surviving Family.'
Best of luck to you!
