Okay, my aspiring scribes, here's your chance to step into the spotlight and get picked apart by your fellow writers. Every screenwriter's dream, right?
I think the way to approach this would be to have any member interested in having their script critiqued send me a copy of the screenplay and then I can make the pick. That way we don't clutter up the thread with beau coup scripts and folks go off and crtique the wrong screenplay, or rant about why this one or that one was not picked. I think you get the idea and understand.
So give me some feedback. Do you agree this is the way to go? Or do you have another idea that will work as well or better? Please let me know. This is your forum. Own it. Embrace it. Nurture it. And always,
Keep Writing!

Isn't this essentially what the Completed Drafts board is for? Am quite happy to go down this route however if it means we all concentrate on one script at a time. To that end, i'm happy to put forward my script 'A Chance To Live' which already has a thread and is awaiting feedback.

I'm for it. I think it'll give each script the attention it deserves and get us all concentrating on one thing at a time. Hopefully it'll be a bit more of a round table this way.

After giving it some thought, I like this idea as well.
I do think that you should just line them up and we all focus on one a week. New writers need feedback as well, even if it may be hard for them to take.
It would also help if our time is limited. We may be able to do a number of pages instead of the whole thing. Someone else can take another chunk and so on until the whole thing has been reviewed. Others can read it in its entirety depending on the amount of time they have.
I'm in.

I say nominations are good. but since jimmy7 offered up his sacrifical lamb, i'm fine with ripping that a new one first time around (hehe jk jimmy). If it's one draft in it's entirety i'd feel more compelled to read at least one GITS Club script a week.
Just have have admins be the only ones who can set up new threats in this forum.

Only one minor suggestion. Put the date in the thread title. If we want to go back and read other scripts, or if we are not sure which one is the latest, it will be easy to identify.

Any victims, err, volunteers for next week's POW? If not, and with your permission, I will post something of my own. Let me know your thoughts as you, Keep Writing!

If no one volunteers, I wouldn't mind reading one of yours. I think you always have something interesting to read.

Folks, Looking for next week's victim ;D Surely, out of almost 400 members, SOMEONE has completed a screenplay they would like to get feedback on. The GITS Club is for the benefit of the membership and you can't benefit if you don't participate. So, who will be next? Who has enough confidence to send their child out into the cold, harsh, bitter world As we used to say as kids: NOT GUTS, NO GLORY ;D Show of hands?

I have a second draft that is nearly finished and in dire need of input. As soon as it's done, I'll be happy to send it to you.

Geesh, people Four-hundred plus members and no one has a script they would like some feedback on I thought you people were writers. Show me what you got. Suck it up. Hand over your precious scripts. Let's all have a gander. Send your masterpieces to: mscherer0@gmail.com. Because if I don't receive any scripts by Sunday (tomorrow) I will be forced to put up one of my first drafts. And I don't want to do that because this POW thing is about YOU... not me. Keep Sending me scripts and, Keep Writing! ps: of course if this deathly silence means you don't think POW is a worthwhile enterprise, just say so and I will rack my brain to come up with something else
