------If anyone knows of someone in need of a FANTASY screenplay, please let me know. Thank you.
..
What happened to the one I edited? This is starting to suck.
Thanx.
I'm so sad and frustrated... seems like I have a better chance at selling my ass than to get this screenplay noticed.. I am SOO disillusioned with the whole entertainment business...
