Okay, I am making this post on April 1, but this is NOT an April Fools joke.
Regarding responding to all of your wonderful submissions: I'm just not where I wanted to be on this. My goal was to have a 1st round of rejections and requests to hold by the first. We're just not there.
The primary reason is that I have been hired by a movie studio to script a feature film. The project has been in development for a while and is basically waiting for the script to move forward. This means I have to work both quickly and well.
This is a huge deal for me -- potentially life-changing -- and so there's just no question that I have to put it first for now. That said, BETA CITY is my baby, and it's going to be awesome, and no amount of success elsewhere will pull me away from it.
So, I must ask for your continued patience. Look for another update in about a week.
