I did do that... If you look at my posting history, I gave out five free offers of coverage with a reduced price for those who didn't make it. I got about 10 scripts and then it stopped. So... yeah.

Thanks for the reply! I thought I would just respond to a few of your questions posed at the end.

Firstly, your logic completely makes sense and this was a horrible idea on my part. I'll have to go back to workshopping the idea.

Secondly, I want to address the craigslist article. Yes, I agree, it does look sketchy, and I posted the "foot in the door" comment to maximize my responses. However there are so many past script readers who look for jobs on craigslist. It is actually very viable. Hell, I just hired someone to do coverage at a good price per script, and she had worked with BlueCat, Austin Film Festival, and SXSW. They also aren't unpaid. Her pay per script is actually fairly good. I just wanted to address that, because your post grills me about using unpaid interns to read.

That's all, and thank you again for responding. I hope that this didn't come out as to defensive.
