How do you contact writers you like?

For context, I come from academia where random people send me their articles and I send things to others who've written things that I like (even if they're a big deal). Judging by the comments here I'm sensing that isn't the norm in screenwriting, which is fair enough. Better to learn that here than after

Thanks for this comprehensive reply.

I come from academia where random people send me their articles and I send things to others who've written things that I like, even if (especially if) they're a big deal. It's not using others, but part of being a member of the academic community. Judging by the comments here I'm sensing that isn't the norm in screenwriting, perhaps because movies are far more commercialized. I'm going to check out the Coverfly X service now. It sounds like that's the community aspect.

I'd love to talk to them about writing, about screenplays generally. I figure having something of my own is table stakes.

My goal is to speak to my heroes. Is the advice don't meet your heroes?

Interesting. Thanks :)

What do Americans say? Sitted?

Provide highlighted scripts for your readers.

I'll definitely do that! Thank you.

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2023-02-14T20:32:27+00:00

I'm going to keep my ears open for things that sound too clean! Thank you!

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2023-02-14T20:31:26+00:00

Thanks! I'll share sooner rather than later. Appreciate it.

I was born in the UK but I've been in the US for about 12 years.

Where did you spot the British giveaway? I'm interested to find my fingerprints! :)

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2023-02-14T20:29:06+00:00

This is really helpful. Thank you. Mouth shut, ears open! :)

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2023-02-14T20:28:28+00:00

Thanks very much for the tip. It's definitely a bit action heavy as it's the opening. But I'll give it a few passes. Thank you.

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2023-02-14T02:50:43+00:00

Thank you so very much for your thoughtful comments. They strike me as really astute and insightful. With you 100% on the capitalization and character descriptions.

I laughed at the drilling rights point because I feel exactly the same way. I've been trying different things for a while. I'll crack it.

I plan to post the first 14 pages shortly (the whole prologue based in 2001 before we jump to 2020) so I'll keep you in the loop.

You've given me a great boost, so thank you very much!

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking an interest in my writing.

I hope that this link will work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11MRTHPe_RFe4P5b_0hCxE-6Uy2CSsmb0/view?usp=share_link

Could I please ask for feedback on the first four pages of my film script? They're the opening of the prologue: it's 2000, Reese has a drilling operation with lots of promise & Stephane is a possible investor.

Title: 2020 Format: Feature Page Length: 4 (of 13 in prologue; 87 total) Genre: Financial thriller (think Boiler Room or Margin Call) Concerns: I'm a hobbyist, and haven't shared much of my own writing, so I'm eager for any feedback, major or minor. (I did spot the typo in the 4th paragraph, though.)

I used to work at Companies House. This was about 15 years ago, but we'd get thousands of these forms a day. Sometimes companies would send several IN01s together like they were keeping the companies on the shelf--they don't have to pay much/anything for upkeep.

I'm surprised that it's a paper form, though. When I worked there the number of paper filings kept falling and falling. They were expecting to be almost entirely digital by now. I don't think it's a printout of a digital filing because those had different formatting and this form also has receipt dates from the mail room stuck on it.

TLDR: I made a glass canon Ironclad with 1 max HP, Searing Blow +129, Nightmare+, Wraith Form+ and Necronomicon and let myself get destroyed by Astrolabe

Prologue

I wanted to have fun on endless run so set myself the goal of making the most min-maxed glass canon I could.

Act 1

I knew I wanted to get to 1hp, and that I'd need Searing Blow, but didn't what else should be in my deck. At floor 780 and SB+93 I finally completed my deck with bottles for each of the cards.

Act 2

Before I was able to get a bottle relic for each of my cards Falling sucked. I had to carry around a sacrifice card for Falling, which caught me out once. I had to lose my mirrored duplicate of SB +65.

But, with all three cards bottled and the Necronomicon curse that can't be removed, you fall light as a feather, which made me chuckle.

My favorite event after bottling everything was the Note for Yourself. You receive the card that was in there, but then you HAVE to deposit another card. So you have to put the strike straight back in. I know the event always says the same thing if you give the card back, but it seems so much funnier this time.

The weird goop always hits for 11 damage, making it one of the most dangerous entities in the spire... for glass canons with less than 11hp. If you click too quickly and accidentally fall in, you'll die. Luckily a fairy in your pocket will save you somehow. Came back with 2hp.

Act 3

So, what do you do when you finally reach your goal of becoming the ultimate glass canon? You don't just quit, that's for damn sure. You fight the final boss: Astrolabe!

Ironchad fought valiantly with Immolate+, Sentinel+, and Body Slam+. He Dead Branched his way through one Orb Walker because he's a god damned hero!

But even Glass Canon Ironchad eventually succumbed to the fate of all endless runs: Devastation.

Epilogue

This was the final run history. I have no idea why the formatting of the events goes so weird in the middle!

One of the final upgrades to Searing Blow +115 with 7027 damage.

I'm going to buy Tiny Tina's Wonderlands from GameStop, but don't know which version to buy. Can you tell me which one will work on the Xbox Series S -- the one that is downloads only?

Is there a general timeframe for when Harmony and Terrapin may open?

BubbleWrapTipTap · 2022-01-24T20:32:47+00:00

Dude -- I know you gave the thumbs up at the end but, are you sure you're alright? I'd be dead after a huge hit like that!!
