Update
Welcome, fellow writers! My name is Gary Crucefix (Cruce, if you please). If you would like to know more about me you can read my resume, view my work in progress and selected short stories.
This site was established to help me understand Web site design, the Internet and to create a depository for my research and contacts, the contents of which I update monthly. Each update will include some Announcements, Dates, Hotspots for you to visit on the Net and Newsgroups.
I also have a chat room called JUJU at Talk City, which you may use, but you will need to obtain your nickname and password first, before entering. Alternatively you may wish to post a message on my Noticeboard.

PITCHING VIA THE INTERNET : Gwynneth Grants advises to stick with traditional methods for now. But if you want to take your chances, the misc.writing.screenplays newsgroup has published guidelines for soliciting screenplays (new URL) to help producers seeking new material. It is also useful to writers and covers many of the security and privacy issues of online commerce in this field. To find out why these guidelines are a good idea, check out this Horror Story of one writer's battle with an "online agency."
