Do you think anyone goes swimming in it?

Maybe we could get some sort of 'future-shock' street team together to go around the country leaving copies of slush-pile-future-shocks about into little minature piles and maybe, just maybe, Matt will stumble across one, think 'Hang on, what's this? Why, it's a story about Vampires - but SET IN THE FUTURE - that's genius'. And then publish it.

who's with me? Future-Shock-Street-Team Assemble!

Cripes - looking back on it, that is a big old load of kack suggestion, isn't it.

I think at the time I was
a) under the impression that this would in someway be helpful and

b) had been waiting six months for a reply on a story.  Do you know, I'm still waiting for a reply on one submission which must be close on 4 years now. It was mince but it would have been nice to know. (It parodied the original lineup of POPSTARS - how old is that?)


Anyway, best way to get feedback is via scriptdroids and Pitchfest. Then send it in when it's spot on.  Where's that Past Imperfect I was working on...
Be excellent to each other. And party on!

Or just keep sending scripts to FutureQuake.  If published, you can use it as an example of your previous work in some sort of 'writing portfolio', or whatever it is you writers use to get work.  And then there's the small press slot opening up in the Megazine, too.  Doesn't have to be sci-fi, apparantly.

fools each and every one of you.

it is not discussed widely,but all published script writers are part of a free masons style secret society.

you think they get there on merit/talent/the ability to spell? perish the thought.there are only a handful whom can actually write. the rest are given these scripts to put there names too.

i cant say too much,but if you wear lots of black and leather,think spanking with a wooden paddle is something your partner should enjoy and understand HELLO SAILOR,your on your way.

your first script will be under the name GERRY SOMETHING SOMETHING. then after that as you move up in the ranks so does your pen name.

you really think wagner and rennie can write such wonderful things month after month.nonsense.
see the light.let the truth set you free.
