      Of course Pizzolatto read Pizzolatto - he says exactly that in interviews and has stated that his writing was influential in the show. In fact, he's tells people in interviews to go read Ligotti's books.

      Plagiarism is a fuzzy thing in literary works. It's not a simple as "oh, he used lines from such and such (which happens all the time in books and films). As far as I am aware, True Det. is not a plot lifted or characters taken directly from Pizzolatto's books - it's a character who quotes from books that influenced his philosophy on the way he sees the world (which is a very human thing to do).

      If the character was only quoting Shakespeare and each time saying "and this, by the way, is a direct quote from a writer known as Shakespeare" no one would give a damn. But it would be pretty stupid.

      These so-called ballots have been so bad and patently ridiculous.

      “How does this trash even get made?” said Katherine Hubbard, a mother of three from Rockford, IL, who, after buying tickets for the Pixar film Inside Out, was incensed that her children had been exposed to original storytelling.

      Awesome! Just append /rss to the end of the url, and it should work for most podcatchers.

      "Out of a 100,000 90% are trash." Which would leave ~10,000, so the question becomes what happens to THESE scripts/writers. If the 62 scripts being sold are all from those writers who are already connected does it even matter if we discover the unknown "Bob Dylan?"

      Define posting, do you mean posting in Works in Progress or submitting for coverage?

      Can't see how it could hurt. Exposure is always a good thing.

  7. At this rate, there will be around 70 specs sold this year.- From BL: "Sony Pictures Entertainment acquires science fiction spec script “Leviathan” written by Cole Haddon. Haddon is repped by WME and Anonymous Content. By my count, this is the 30th spec script sale of 2014. There were 53 spec script sales year-to-date in 2013."

      Why TB engaged for so long I have no idea. My favorite part is Franklin claiming he "won" some argument after TB said they were not going to reply to his childish tantrums, and stopped, as they said they would. So embarrasing.

      Was Franklin looking to "out" members, or owners? I felt he was referring to those who run the site.

      Not sure. Truthfully, I read half of it, told the team I thought replying was a mistake. Don't give in to someone else's ego trying too bully info on the internet for christs sake. Just childish all around, IMO.

      How come I'm not surprised? This is why "awards" are useless and unnecessary events for the "look at me" crowd. But that's just one man's opinion.

      I always took it to mean OC was for someone in the room but not visible (off camera), and OS was for someone in another room (off scene).

      Glad I'm not the only one having trouble finding where to donate. I did a search on the page, looked at the source code and nothing. If anybody knows where we can find a donate button or link please let us know. How can we donate if you don't make it easy for us?
