7:04 pm         DreamsGrafter:         I'm guessing w/ pitching on the internet, some ppl may be scared of putting their ideas out there given u can't copyright ideas. #scriptchat

7:05 pm         DreamsGrafter:         @NevadaGrey What would you give ppl who are scared someone will steal their ideas? #scriptchat

7:10 pm         editorialdept:             @NevadaGrey Is there a big difference between pitching novels vs. script work? Are the elements the same? #scriptchat

7:11 pm         jazzchantoozie:          Hi @NevadaGrey - I notice VPF do a query letter-editing service: what do you most commonly change/correct on people's letters? #scriptchat

7:11 pm         Robert296hewitt:     There was an article somewhere about copyright in UK and Euro somewhere because the rules have changed now. I will try findin it #scriptchat

7:11 pm         NevadaGrey: @Jonathan_Peace It protects your script, which is important (Re: WGA registration) #scriptchat

7:11 pm         DreamsGrafter:         @lizziside Once you start pitching, you can't stop. ;) #scriptchat It's quite an exciting experience.

7:11 pm         Pale_Jewel:     @lizziside & placing All Rights Reserved which helps with international laws I think #scriptchat

7:14 pm         yeah_write:    @NevadaGrey What kind of feedback have you had from producers/agents/managers that accept queries via VPF? #scriptchat

7:14 pm         Pale_Jewel:     @Robert296hewitt That would be interesting if you could :) #scriptchat

7:15 pm         jeannevb:       @NevadaGrey I think the apostrophe is messing it up, but it IS linked in "Pitching" section of www.scriptchat.com right sidebar #scriptchat

7:15 pm         Pale_Jewel:     Good question! RT @DreamsGrafter: @NevadaGrey Do you see a trend in the type of stories that are being pitched right now? #scriptchat

7:15 pm         jazzchantoozie:          @NevadaGrey Aha! Thanks. And does it catch people's attention if a script is being pitched from the UK? Is there a judgement... #scriptchat

7:15 pm         NevadaGrey: @DreamsGrafter re: story trends - not really - I'm seeing all different types of scripts in all genres #scriptchat

7:16 pm         jazzchantoozie:          @NevadaGrey ...either way, good or bad (or neither!), about British pitches/scripts? #scriptchat

7:17 pm         chained:         #scriptchat could u make transcripts of scriptchat into a #downloadable #file eg #PDF so we can keep them easily ?

7:17 pm         Jonathan_Peace:        I think the laptop rebelled against The Darkness music. Now I've got Bon Jovi on all seems well... #scriptchat

12:14 am       NevadaGrey: @eyamie Inktip: writers post scripts & prods try to find you. VPF: prods post what they r seeking & writers submit to them #scriptchat

12:14 am       dawnbierschwal:       I think the key is to a good log line is to extract the hook... and not try to summarize 110 pages in one sentence. #scriptchat

12:14 am       WriterChanelle:         @NevadaGrey How finished does your script have to be to pitch it? #scriptchat

12:14 am       NevadaGrey: @GCGeek Awesome - thank you :) #scriptchat

12:16 am       jmiewald:       @WriterChanelle Why would you pitch something that you don't know with 100% certainty is fantastic? #scriptchat

12:16 am       Jonathan_Peace:        @NevadaGrey So with VPF the writer is more in control? I like that, it puts the responsibility on me to work harder. #scriptchat

12:16 am       dawnbierschwal:       @GinySassenach If u remember that what you're trying to sell them on at that point is simply to read the script, it helps. #scriptchat

12:16 am       zacsanford2: @WriterChanelle Only pitch completed work. If the Exec requests your material you'll want to send within a couple days. #scriptchat
