I'm in the unfortunate group of writers who haven't yet had any success on any level yet. I was just wondering what is most likely to happen. If a producer/script editor likes my script, will they e-mail me or call me?
What have been your experiences?
Personally, I've always been emailed first.
They will e-mail you three times Mike but after that they won't take your calls.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I acted a fool and got a gig. 
I've had both. It depends on the person. And it doesn't really matter does it? Whether they get back to you via email, smoke signals or carrier pigeon as long as they're saying they like your stuff then it's all good.

Carrier pigeons would be no good round here, they'd be shot and eaten.

I'm in that grouo too. In my experience they've always e-mailed... to reject me, you just keep going, such is the industry.

Hah. I'll be sure to let Speckled Jim know.
Mike, you need to get a grip on life. First you cant make any decisions without advice and now you want us to tell you if someone will call you or email......how the hell do we know? Maybe they'll just show up at your house after getting your address from someone down the pup.
You need to put your head down and work and stop worrying about "shall i do this or shall i do that" or "will they call, will they send a pigeon"
I dread you actually getting a call as you'll be on here asking us what pants to wear to the interview.

Ooo. Bit harsh.

Yeah, but quite funny though. Particularly the mispelling of 'pub' as 'pup'.
What is on Pete's mind!

The Greyhound perhaps?
(thought I'd get that in before Marc P)
