I got a cheque on sat foom Nr, but think it was from the last run. got more in this run so look forward to the next cheque!
Nice work blahblah (and others)!
Just to say I still peek but have always wondered why this is in 'Discussion' and not 'Opportunities'.
Anyone know why?
Looks like the warm weather (and consequent lack of writing by non-vampires) worked in my favour - fluked one in again after a fallow period.
Would be interesting to get an idea of level of rewrites they do. Anyone?
Obviously this will vary massively from item to item.
On my one, a rewording of YMCA about gay marriage in USA, the title has changed to different (& better) one which still scans according to the tune, so I'm assuming they changed the main lyrics too.
Should probably go to a show at some point. Get a much better idea of tone. Make it less like trying to piss into a bucket in the dark each time.
Anyone fancy babysitting?*
As for Discussion vs Opportunities? Given this is often a running feedback by contributors rather than a call out for pieces, maybe it makes sense. Maybe not.
Also, hiding it somewhere non-obvious further increases my chances.
*joking, wouldn't trust any of you
For NewsRevue and Treason I've found they've been pretty faithful to my original scripts. But can't really speak for anyone else's.
Btw - if you do find a babysitter (you really shouldn't trust me) let us know and might come along as well.
Sometimes they'll change the odd line of two of a sketch or song, but like StephenM says, they mostly stick to the original scripts.

After a break from writing topical comedy, I've begun submitting material to Newsrevue again.
I'm hoping to add to my two previous credits over the coming weeks.
Anyone who made it to the Edinburgh writers meeting care to spill the beans? Anything they particularly want this year?
(I'll save someone the hassle of posting by replying to myself
"They want funny sketches and songs!! LOL!"
OK anything more specific?)
No but Im guessing calling Cameron a posh c**t maybe a winner

How goes the porn epic
50 shades of MikeyJ?
LOL, it's erotic fiction, Sooty, not porn.
The publisher released the novel yesterday.
Anywhere I can find a sample of the kind of thing to send? I know it's meant to be topical but would like to be able to see a clip or script or something.
I have some sketches/songs on my website that NewsRevue have performed.
(DWP Fictional Characters Department, Politically Correct Mother and the song Our House It Won't Sell.)
http://www.mikeyjackson.com/sketches.php
They have also performed Real Life 3D (as a voiceover) and Sex Education Class.
Thanks Mikey, will take a look.
