Not to mention the fact that the Writer's Network and Fade In have the same

I have never heard anything about this at all. Instead of supplying any reason
for not giving me my money, they simply chose to ignore my phone calls and
emails. If I was "disqualified," it would have been nice for them to tell me.
I just reviewed the complete rules and application for the competition and saw
no reference to any qualification based on the fact that the writer had
previously been optioned. The script I submitted was not under option when I
submitted it.
As far as Audrey's other claims, which I recently read on moviebytes (thanks
for steering me toward that memo), I supplied my forwarding address to her
secretary no less than twice. And I received my script with notes written on
it about 9 months after I had won the competition. The package with the script
in it enclosed no cover letter, and certainly no instructions that I was to
resubmit the script having incorprated their notes in order to get my work
passed on to agents.
