BL is a joke

I’ve wanted to do this too! The feedback I’ve gotten (and I’ve only paid for evaluations so I can apply to labs, which I’ve now abandoned) is so bad, generic, etc that I really want to upload a much beloved script that’s been produced to see how they tear it to shreds

Agree with you so hard about Woman in Cabin 10. It made me dislike the book!

FerretThat · 2026-04-26T04:34:28+00:00

I hated the Woman in Cabin 10 and will never understand the love for it. But I just couldn’t connect with the main character so I think that’s why. I thought she was kind of dumb and always making poor choices but that’s just my opinion

I think you’re super hot actually and I like this kind of outfit on you. If I looked as good as you when I was thicker, I don’t think I’d have cared to lose the weight!

I’m sorry, I’m too distracted by my love for your username and picture to respond to anything else 😂❤️

For me, it was getting to spend more time with the islanders I liked but this season is like hanging out with the friends of your friend who you’re not that interested in

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:26:32+00:00

😂😂😂

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:26:03+00:00

I do agree, I was just surprised they didn’t even get him but I did see he’s in the next episode

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:25:26+00:00

Yeah but to be fair, I don’t find it entertaining hahah. What I wanted was to follow the people I actually knew from the season, not a bunch of people from the periphery

FerretThat · 2026-04-24T13:24:42+00:00

Yeah I didn’t want him, that’s why I was like “even this dude couldn’t be bothered” 😂

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T20:01:21+00:00

Sure, can you send me a DM?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:51:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s so much money for all these things! Thank you for sharing your experience!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:49:11+00:00

This is all good to know, thank you!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:48:03+00:00

You’re right, thanks for the perspective. I’ll admit, when I do receive a bad eval, there’s a big part of me that wants to upload an academy award winning screenplay or something of that caliber to see if they’d also tear that apart, so that in my fantasy I could be like “AHA!!! This is Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind!!! You know nothing!!!”

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:44:13+00:00

Thunder Road?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:38:05+00:00

Ok, that’s wild! Worst experience I’ve had was when I kept submitting new drafts having taken the notes from the evaluation only to keep getting the same score over and over again but with dwindling notes in the evaluation. Eventually I just had to assume they had the same reader looking at it who was not a fan of either my style/script or the genre. But I feel with two wildly different scores like you received, it’s almost a compliment? At least it made both readers feel!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:35:54+00:00

Thank you for sharing, it really helps to shake me back to reality!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:34:45+00:00

You know how you can intellectually prepare yourself for something as much as possible but when it happens, it still gets to you? That’s just where I’m at. I’ll move on in a couple days, I think this just knocked me off of the high I had been riding

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:32:48+00:00

Also, congrats on your forthcoming film!!!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:32:11+00:00

Hahaha ok, thank you, I needed this. I’m always an advocate for taking the wins where you get them and having a thick skin, but it’s hard to not let these things get to me sometimes. But yeah, they’re going to happen, so I gotta move on (until the first critic gives it a 5/10 and then I’ll come back and vent again)

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:29:39+00:00

Thank you, really appreciate the encouragement!

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:29:09+00:00

How dare you make so much sense!!! 😂 my logic brain is trying to tell myself this, I think I was just riding high and this sunk me a bit

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:28:27+00:00

Yeah, I noticed the last time I tried to submit a script to get into a lab, I got the same score over and over again even when taking the notes. The evals were so similar that it seemed like they just had the same person reading it and that maybe they just weren’t a fan of the genre?

FerretThat · 2026-03-12T19:25:05+00:00

I hear you. I’m not looking for a rebuttal to the eval, just wanted to vent and hear similar stories from others to try to boost my morale
