Hi all,

I’ve been writing a fair amount of scripts and have some gnawing etiquette questions and thought I would throw them up here.

• if someone reaches out to you and expresses interest in filling a script and then disappear, the thing to do is to leave them alone, right? Some of these people seemed a tad anxious or were new so I feel like maybe they would appreciate a reach out? But I really, really don’t want to appear pushy.

• I probably come across as a little “cool” when someone comments they might want to fill a script. I try to say that’s great but I understand if they don’t have time. I really don’t want to seem pushy - sexual unpaid labor, etc. etc. but do people do a bit more effusive praising/gushing? (Oh my gosh, I’d be so honored that sort of thing)? That’s not my natural modus operandi but I have noticed people gush a lot when talking to one another in these spaces.

• I’m not super used to like… SEO optimization and posting at certain times of day so more people will see it. A part of me wants to just say “fuck it” but I have noticed that time of day does seem to matter. This isn’t an etiquette question, it’s just me complaining. People don’t repost, do they?

• if you are posting here and on one either the main sub and/or one of the sister subs (GWSapphic GWnarrative etc) do people wait a period of time before doing that? I feel like it’s irritating either way - you’re feed gets all cluttered up if you do it one at a time and if you space it out people might be like “I’ve seen that one yesterday, ugh.”
