I am a UK writer of supernatural stories and screenplays, and am seeking a
market for my work.

Paying markets only please, and no prerequired submission fees.

i really do wonder, if people think they will be emailed with offers of
work, out of the blue when there isn't even a link to evaluate any of said
material.

To be fair to him (or her), the poster was probably more interested in
learning of online resources that he could then contact personally.
Still, hard to imagine someone getting that far into the writing
process without having any idea of how or where he wants to submit his
ideas.

stories...

aye, we all know about *your* "markets", mate. Seen "8mm"? That's right,
T-shirts my fucking ARSE. I put it to you, Mr D. Scrott, that you are a
SHOCKING PEDLAR OF SNUFF PORNOGRAPHY, and like nothing better than to don a
CLASSIC LEATHER FACE MASK before chopping some poor Tyneside UNDERAGE
SCAG-VEINED WHOREBOX to bits and pieces whilst "Killer Kane" stands behind
his CUM-STAINED OLD VHS-C CAMERA, crocodile clips on his TWISTED FUCKING
PERVERSE NIPPLES - one hand on his FUCKING SWEATY BANJO and the other on the
RECORD BUTTON, both of you fucking TWISTED BASTARDS *SQUEAKING* with
anticipation of getting home and watching the rushes, while BORING
MIDDLE-CLASS PROFESSIONAL WANKERS WITH INCH THICK COCA-COLA BOTTLE GREGORY
PECKS AND NERVOUS TWITCHES wipe their SWEATY, MONEY-TRADING HANDS with
ABJECT GLEE as they contemplate the release of the latest SCUD SNUFF PORNO
FILTH from the GRUESOME TOON-SOME.....

You fucking Geordies I will *never* under-fucking-stand.

Robert, in your case it looks like the BBFC have been correct all along. You
have been corrupted by the likes of Cannibal Holocaust, and all of the other
video nasties that are out there. It's a crying shame when young men like
yourself, with so much to look forward too in life, such as a promising music
career, fall victim to the evil of horror movies.
I'm so sorry it's came to this....

Indeed! Or (as I suggested on another newsgroup) Webfix should buy (or
even borrow from the library) a copy of Stephen Jones' MAMMOTH
BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR, this year's edition. In particular the
listings at the end should provide dozens of ideas.

Do we know if Webfix is even reading this, though? S/he doesn't seem
to respond if anyone like us offers helpful comments. I'd be
interested to learn which editors s/he has actually submitted fiction
to. Steve Jones and Dave Sutton? Richard Chizmar? David Pringle? Tell
us, Webfix! Or are we addressing the void?
