Having recently had the opportunity to puzzle over some Russian handwriting from the 19th century, I lamentably find I must agree with your conclusion in this thread: Cyrillic handwriting is teh suck. These writings I’m trying to read might as well be seismograph printouts for all their legibility. Rest assured that I shall therefore diligently work to create and promote a new way of handwriting, that I am confident will see immediate and widespread adoption in the Cyrillic-using world. 
I’m glad you concur with this, although I haven’t been involved in the discussion up until now. But a typical handwritten Cyrillic word resembles a line drawing of seagulls flying over a stormy sea, much more than it does actual script!

Its supposed to be** t3h sux0r**!
Dood, that is soooooo last week. “Teh suck” is teh kewl.
OMG n00b!
Yes, Cyrillic is horrible. My handwriting normally isn’t very pretty, but when I was taking Russian I would look at the Cyrillic answers to my howmework and it’d be an undistinguishable set of bumps – even though, since I was new to the language, I’d labored over crafting every single letter perfectly. Ugh.

Well, having scribbled idly for a few minutes, I’ve determined that with a few minor modifications the Cyrillic alphabet could be much more readable in cursive. Most of the letters can stay the same. The ones that I changed are:
Г – now written like Greek gamma, or English j without a dot
И – now like English i
Й – now like English i with a breve
К – now like English k
L – now like English l
Н – now like English h
Т – now like English t
The only ones I’m stumped on are Ш and Щ – I’m leaning towards something like English cursive fu, but I’m thinking that would still be too easily confusable.
yBeayf, how I wish your proposal could be implemented. But its seems Uzbeks still haven’t gotten the memo that their language uses the Roman alphabet now. Based on their dragging their feet in implementing the new alphabet, I don’t know how much confidence I could have in them taking up reformed Cyrillic. Thanks anyway!
The “sh” can stay as a cursive w shape. Since you’ve eliminated the other seagull shapes, it wouldn’t be ambiguous to keep one of them.
