Re: My Black List Experience
Thanks for pointing that out. I will have a look again. For the record, I do read everything; one, because I must report on it; and two, because I love reading in general. Part of me also feels I owe the writer at least that much for what they pay, regardless of how quickly I can assess the outcome.
The point I guess is this: as a reader, I genuinely WANT to find an engaging script. Nothing would make me happier than to be engaged and, if it's really that good, give it the recommend it truly deserves. They are just so very rare, and I think it's generally underestimated just how rare they are. One of the competitions I'm reading for so far has about 300 entries and about 4 have been given the equivalent of a Consider score. Not a single recommend (there is 1 that is a strong consider, however).
The truly god-awful ones are sometimes a joy to read too because they can sometimes be awful in a very particular way (you can see a personality in the writing). But the majority of them are kind of in-the-middle of the road. Nothing really terrible but nothing really great either. Those are the toughest ones to get through.
