future shocks

[Tu-plang]

How many people here have submitted a future shock, or even successfully had one published?  Anyone sent a submission and had some coments back but no publication?  I'm sort of thinking of sending one in but am sort of wondering just how many of them get read and replied to.

Probly send it anyway tho.

They all get read, and the response varies, but you'll get a polite form letter at the least.

Nice.  I can build myself a rejection letter wall.

You need to visit scriptdroids which is linked to somewhere in the submissions bit of this site I think.  You can get valuable feedback (from wannabee writers like yourself and even from established droids)there before sending it to Tharg

Make sure you have read and inwardly digested the submissions guidelines as well.

I've sent a few in and had a couple of polite "nothing we haven't seen before" letters and a couple with some good feedback.  I'm still waiting for feedback on three other submissions from last year when they had a big submissions pile up - probably time I kicked off a polite inquiry actually as I've got a Past Imperfect I'd like to submit and they only like you to send one at a time (or it all piles up again...)

But don't haver - get it submitted!

My mind is desperate to write a torrent of scripts but my body just wants to laze around all the time. Every time I start I get headaches or a chronic thirst or require a trip to the bog.  

It's not fair...

**Anyone sent a submission and had some coments back but no publication?**

The rejection letters are a lot more personal and constructive than any others I've received.

I think they felt sorry for me... I do.

im no  script driod , i wish i was able. but here seems to be a great place to try them out.
the ones on the site range from great to ok. but i always respond to those that i read.im sure many others do the same.
hey nothing to lose and everything to gain.
go for it.before they get to many for the team at the nerve centre to offer the correct level of attention to.
