We checked this board this morning, and low and behold, someone had the nerve to post a thread criticizing a writer's story. This board is not the place for gratuitous 'digs'.
Please remember these boards are for writers to post their material, and promote themselves, and for agents, or agencies seeking material. PERIOD!
These boards are not here for people to post criticism about a writer, their work, an agent, or agency. If you know or suspect a post is fraudulent, please let us know. If you have had a bad experience with a writer, agent, or agency by all means, post it. If someone posts a message specifically requesting feedback then that is fine. Otherwise keep your criticism to yourself.
Sorry to have to post this, but this kind of foolishness is unwarranted. Please enjoy the boards.
Addendum – June 17, 2004
These Jerry Springer like trash talking posts by unidentified visitors are not welcomed here. They are not tolerated on this board and are deleted immediately.
This board is for the serious writer and agencies seeking writers. It is a safe place to post your material or adds without the worry of anonymous company deliberately torpedoing your work or agency. This is a guarantee from us.
Please post your material to be seen under as many boards you feel it fits under. Multiple and repeated posts are fine.
Enjoy the boards.
Ashley

:-*Thanks for the site and helping protect unsigned writers. There are many unscrupulous compnies conning struggling, talented people out of their hard earned money.
My first agent is now in prison along with his wife who tricked hundreds of unsuspecting writers out of their cash. It is my duty as well as other professionals in this businees to tip off our fellow scribes when injustice is being tolerated for the sake of the bottom line.
Sites such as Preditors and Editors can inform a suspicious writer to the merits or lack thereof for many side companies who use their front to charge outrageous fees without results. Except for the writers' pockets getting emptier.
About cutting down other people's material:
Everyone has a different idea of what they want to write about, think about and see in a film. Just because it isn't your idea doesn't make it bad, or the wrong one for the person using the genre or subject. There should be a brother and sisterhood in writing as we are al hoping for basically the ame things. Recognition for something we can do. Ourselves. Not apinting a house for somebody or doing what they want. It's our vision.
Encourage every writer with a story to tell it the best they can. get off their backs and say GO!

Sites such as Preditors and Editors can inform a suspicious writer to the merits or lack thereof for many shady companies who use their front office to charge outrageous fees through a side office without results. Except for the writers' pockets getting emptier.

Financial security. Recognition for something unique we can do. Ourselves. Not by working for somebody else on their dream.
Encourage every writer with a story to tell it the best way they can. Get off their backs and say GO!
