    Also interested to know this.

      I'm fine with that as long as you don't wait too long. I'd hate to get an email 3 years from now that was like "Hey, remember when I donated to your thing? Here's my script!"

        Hah. It would be in more like a month or two, but definitely before Christmas.

        You might get a good bump in participation here at the end with this rain check setup. Just set a deadline for your own peace of mind, like the end of 2013, something. Do you get anything special (besides the rightful warm fuzzy feelings) for being in the top 10?

          LOL. To be perfectly fair, the only reason I got angry was because YOU got pissed off reading my script!

          It's all good though. I should've known a script about scantily clad interstellar porn stars would've elicited such a response from you.
          I'm never wrong. Reality is just stubborn.

            As I said, I am blunt and do not pull punches with my notes. Being extra polite takes time, and when your script is 146 pages and extremely complex, I'm already using quite a bit of it.

            You do realize that the porn stars were not my main issue with your script, though, right? I hope you read the other four pages worth of notes and found something useful to you. I also pointed out your strengths, because as I said, there is some talent there if you can figure out how to streamline your work.

            If you found nothing in them worth using, I do regret it. Perhaps I am wrong and your script is perfectly fine as it is. Good luck.

              Scriptgal, I mean Emily, gives great notes. She has her personal peeves, but don't we all? I got some spot on advice that had been echoed in other reads. Well worth the $. Happy Labor Day!

                  Just a reminder, this offer goes away after Saturday. I currently have five scripts in my queue and a three-week turnaround.

                    Have a dog...hmmm, wanted to say "dog-gone" good time, but that doesn't seem appropriate here. Have a dog-home good time.

                    I need to work on that.

                      To me, it's worth the money just to make Emily suffer by reading my pages,

                      Well that and the fact that I love dogs.

                        Just a quick shout out of thanks to Emily. I appreciate the notes and feedback. Please let me know if you're going to be involved with this next year.
