Maybe that guy at Fan Expo Canada was right.
An abridged script, inspired by today's review at Scriptshadow:
Me: Hello. I have what I think would be a pretty interesting superhero script that I'd like to send to you.
C: (crickets)
Me: It's about a superheroine who finds herself pregnant. The baby seems to be draining her powers and there's a global event that needs to be settled. She's been doing so much to not only palm the baby off on others, but to find out who the baby daddy is.
C: (posts every other goddamn script to be reviewed, including a few superhero scripts, because God forbid that anyone get feedback on their material to know their worth as a writer)
Me: I could get my script feedback from people who charge money, but between my many monthly expenses, that's not as possible as I'd like, so I'd really appreciate a shot.
C: (whines about the new Star Wars movies for-goddamn-ever)
Me: (indignant) Well, you obviously have better things to do with your time. I'll just move on to something else. (muttering) A pregnant superheroine. I probably would've been re-written anyway.
C: (posts glowing review of a script that's basically The Game Plan with superheroics stapled on) (actual quote) "You guys know I'm all about subversive superhero scripts."
Me: Go fuck yourself.
The End.
