    Okay, let's try this again....

    I accidentally double-posted my introductory thread and apparently they both were automatically locked.

    Soooooo...

    Let me try again:

    I'm an aspiring screenwriter. Seems like the majority of the membership here writes prose, from what I can tell. Anyway, from what little I've read on the forum, looks to be an interesting/educated bunch.

    Can someone tell me who started this site? I know the purpose has to do with getting/offering feedback and tips on writing, but was this site begun by a random person/people just for the heck of it or is it part of a business?

    Thanks.

    Quint

    Welcome, Quint. I write and critique prose and poetry, but good luck with your screenwriting anyway. I have a friend who wants to be a director and me to screenwrite for him. I said pay me first.

    No, I don't know who started this place, but it's great. So welcome; enjoy yourself.
    That's what I think: take it or leave it.

    Read any good books? PM me.

    Welcome to the forum, Quint.

    This site was created by Chrispian Burks in 2003. It's since been sold on. I think it was started just as a place where aspiring writers could workshop with other aspiring and published writers in order to help them improve their writing. Not sure, though.

    Welcome, Quint. Glad to have you.
    Remember why you like to read, and inundate your writing with your love of story. No great writer ever found reading a chore.
