A Dance with the Dead

I learned about a writer named Piper Cleaveland who wrote a book based on Disney's The Haunted Mansion (the 2003 film) called A Dance with the Dead which had a twist, in the film the character Sarah Evers is a modern-day double for Elisabeth Henshaw but in the book, he is Elisabeth's reincarnation....

Yikes! I don't blame him!

Important decision! This also involves the "medical profession"! Bearing in mind the associative attention it would have brought to said profession, the judging/decision "with careful concerns", was for the best!

Hello, my friends,

Sherri ZImmerman
Just checking... anyone

Hi just a simple question... I just looked at all my team members, for a certain purpose of course... but I NOTICED that there were at LEAST 4 that apparently had to be SCAM profiles because I just noticed how they were all suspended...

Hi, Jed Power. Stage 32 isn't going out of business. I commented on two of your posts about the glitch. Once last week and two days ago. Here's what I commented last week:

Thanks, Eon, Well, at least it is not just me. i/ emailed support and I'll let you know if anything positive happens

Jed Power

Thanks, Maurice, but never saw either of these, nor was I notified. Part of same problem, maybe?

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Jed Power. It might be part of the same problem. Hope it gets fixed soon.

Can't sell here

About once per month I am contacted by some other member, who wants to sell. Once I even had to report a scam to admin. The latest seller was so polite that I told him that it is almost impossible to sell anything here. Because there are no buyers here.

So I have a suggestion to admin. Please tell n...

Hi, Göran Johansson. Stage 32 actually is a place to sell scripts. I sold four short scripts to a producer in 2022.

Here's a success story from Stage 32's Success Stories page: "Journalist, writer and...

I apologize for causing a misunderstandment. There are people here who are contacting individual members, believing the place is full of people who gladly buy services from others. Irritating for us who don't want to buy.

Maurice Vaughan

I'm sure that's irritating, Göran Johansson. Some members go about it the wrong way. They contact other members and ask them to buy scripts, but what they should do is network/build relationships firs...

Is fear of success really a thing?

The reason why I started writing is that as a comic book artist, I wanted to work with a writer to make comics. Still, all of them turned out to be real jerks, so I figured, why not just write my own stories, if you know the story of Stan Lee who made Spiderman you'll understand; so I was trying to...

The more successful you become, the more known you are. The more known you are, the more people are aware of you (including your flaws). The longer your flaws are on display, the longer you might feel...

I used to balk at it when I first heard about it over a decade ago now, but fear of success is absolutely a thing. After all, if you succeed at making your dream come true your entire life can change....

Sometimes success brings in a lot of bad things! No matter what you do in life. If you've been walking this earth for a little bit, you understand.

When Rules Rule Out Common Sense

So I do like Stage 32 because everyone has dreams and they need a chance to make them come true. Of course every site has rules and they are there for the legal protection of the site and for those that like to abuse others don't get a chance to. However, if the "main" purpose is to help struggling...

Distribution Today: How Netflix Picks Up Completed Films and Works with Filmmakers

When it comes to streaming and “bingeable” television, no platform or network comes to mind faster than Netflix. They have been the home to some of the most-watched original series for almost a decade, including BRIDGERTON, WEDNESDAY, STRANGER THINGS, SQUID GAME, LUPIN, THE CROWN and countless other...

Site malfunction?

Not only can't I find my favorite lounge anymore--"Trending Discussion " Lounge, When I inquire about it here, I receive no responses. Don't need the aggravation-- Please let me know, if and when, S32 site is back to writing smoothly .I'm over to one of the MANY other similar sites , without the frustration!

Online Safety

One thing I have said was that people (like stars) should be more careful of what they put online and on social media and social networking sites. Sometimes someone who sees them might be unstable or unsafe.

Election Day!

Fellow Americans, voting is our birthright.  It's a privilege the residents of some countries do not enjoy.

Do you civic duty.  See ya in line.

It's election day! Get out there and let your voice be heard!

Disabilities and Christmas

I would like to meet actors with disabilities like Dyslexia, Autism Spectral, and Asperger Syndrome like I have. Because I hope they would understand what I go through and what it's like living with disabilities like Asperger Syndrome.

Plus, the chance to work with Disney, that would be a dream come true and a wish of mine every Christmas.
