Last night, I was talking to Vince (LL HD Fan), and I told him that it would be hilarious to make a sitcom of all of us Halloween Message Board Members. We can call it The Halloweeners.
I was also thinking make a Halloween script with some of us in it.
That would be fun.

I think that would be hilarious. It would be hard to pick which board members would get killed and which one(s) would survive!

If you want to be in it I need first names.
Can you capture the personalities, is the question. I never heard of you from the old board, unless you had a name change...but if you're new here, I don't see how you can make the posters come to life...maybe spend a couple months first?

The Halloweeners? Pretty lame title. Besides, it's already been done by none other than our very own FTL. Oh, and it was actually pretty funny.
But if he wants to do it, go ahead. I'll never tell someone not to write what they want to do. Yeah, I did some of them types of scripts back in the day, for fun. Bullshit stuff. Time to buckle down and get serious with real screenplays. Good luck in the future, Johnathon.

I didn't say he couldn't do it. He can do whatever the fuck he wants. I just didn't want him thinking it was an original idea he came up with or something.

I know. I was just making a joke for the title.

Well it was a first attempt at one. I'm sure you can come up with something better, or funnier.

Yeah I was on the old board. I was jmpnmyers. I was on for like a year.
Probably could help you out and give you more experience if you haven't written before. Try it, who gives a shit. If you can do it, cool. Just make sure the characters' only differences aren't just their names.

Okay. From all of the advice I was given, to make this work, if you want to be included tell me your name, and alot about yourself, cuz character develpoment, I know, is an important role in writing script and stories.

Yes but why not use our user names here? Not everyone knows everyones elses name.

User names would be best.
Will never work that way, asking for people to supply you with info. What I would do is just do a working one with only people you have become good friends with and just do them. You can't bring somebody to life like that, asking for info. You have to be on the boards, know their reactions to certain situations, their humor, their posting style, etc. You have to know all that. When I did it, that's what I used. Stuff I saw on the board, not stuff I was told.

Well so far I've become friends with 2 people on here so I could use them, but I posted in my thread "Are You Friends With Anyone Outside The Board", and I said I'm gonna have an online chat if they want to join in. So that could be a start.
I'll be on AIM at around 10:30 tonight (PT). My AIM screen name is jmpn022289.
If you need AIM go to aim.com
Chats are fine. But like I said, the board is your best solution. AIM chats will probably do a little... Get around the board, view every thread, shit like that.
