Other writing forums

zhura.com is pretty good but isn't the most active site going.

www.zoetrope.com

There was a crappy American one I belonged to for a while, where all the sketches were 6 pages long and about Dante's Inferno.

And there's 4morelaughs.

Is that still going since C4 culled the entire 4laughs team (3 people) before Christmas?

It's the follow up to 4laughs.

All the old 4laugh site has now disappeared. I tried to point this out earlier, but everyone seemed to act like it was ols news.

Celtx has a pretty decent forum. But it does contain a lot of film-studenty types.

One bunch of writers is bad enough. Why would anyone want to go and find more of them?

Oh...

Yeah I used to go on a forum where if you wrote enough stuff you got like a penny, can't remember what it's called now, I must have earned about 3 dollars by now, which is 3 pounds :)

And 4laughs was good, but I left a while ago because a lot of good writers moved out and they moderated the shit out of the forum and it got annoying.

"Darling, you are wonderful, I am so happy to have found you... but I just think it would spice things up if we started seeing other people. So, I was just wondering, if you had any mates, who put out? Obviously I am not interested in paying for it..."

As writing forums go, BSG is pretty amazing.

But does anybody know any others? Shooting People (for film) has been mentioned, as has Chortle (for stand-up).

Are there any good forums worth checking out for other scriptwriting disciplines? Theatre, perhaps, or TV drama, or Radio?

(I'm not interested in pay-to-join forums.)

:D

I'm always fascinated by the people who stick rigidly to the writing bit and never venture into other sections. I could never confine myself to just this chunk of the BCG.

It would be like sitting in your own shit all day.
