TV Writer.Com Message Board

Butchy,

I'm going to request - strongly - that you not post synopses/details of your ideas or stories. This is a public board (on the reading end although not the posting), and you run a very big risk of having your material misappropriated. You also put those who come here (especially the professionals) at risk.

There's a reason studios/prodcos/smart pros don't read submissions unless a ton of paperwork is properly signed and sealed: To protect themselves against nuisance lawsuits along the line of, "You read my work and now Leonardo DiCaprio's new film, which you wrote, has a scene that's sort of like one of my scenes because it has two people talking in a rainstorm. You owe me forty mil."

I'm also requesting that you take a look at your recent posts and edit or delete all those in which you synopsize or give details from your work or projected work. I'm lazy and don't want to have to do it myself but will if necessary.

Thanks, dood.

LYMI,
