To Aspiring Genre Artists...
This was noted in the New Member section, but it's worth repeating.
There are a lot of aspiring filmmakers, authors etc. that come here to promote their work. There are plenty of members here who are genuinely interested in seeing what they have to offer, and will give praise and/or constructive criticism. However, when the artist in question pretends to be a third party who discovered this "cool work", there are people here (including myself) who find this approach annoying and, frankly, kind of insulting. It's feels like the pitch of a con man to a room of what he feels are ignorant rubes.
So, please, PLEASE, be honest about who you are and what you're pitching. As I said, there are plenty who are interested in new material, and would love to see what you have to offer.
