I posted my logline here -- got feedback. Then I posted my script here -- got feedback. And now my script got optioned! Thank!

Oh, Lord, I dared to asked some questions!

I’m asking questions, but don’t get answers. Just like other people here. It doesn’t bug just me, if you look around.

At first the lack of detail and contradictions seemed weird, but at this point, almost 24 hours later, it also feels ungrateful. That’s what happens when you help someone out but they ignore you. What really bugs me, though, is that OP may or may not be leading people on, at least to some degree. Maybe for bragging reasons, maybe for other reasons. Who knows. I have the right to know that, just like everybody else here. Just like you have the right to know if a seller rips you off if the glue comes off.

As for the payment, that’s the question. That’s one of the details that were left out. Is there any payment at all? Is it money? Peppercorn? What's the big mystery? Why not brag about the money or, if there isn't any, be humble and say: "well, there's no payment, but I'm not doing it for the money anyway." Or something along those lines. Either way that'd read much much better.

I'm not pointing a finger, like you're doing to me, I'm just asking "why?"

People want to know because they're pursuing the same goal. They want to know what the path looks like and how to navigate theirs. Like I said, I’d love OP to come back and defend himself. Till then, I get to question his story, as well as defend those you've helped him get to this story in the first place.
