Just so you know...

When you meet someone from a studio and they "don't have a business card on them" , so you make them give you their phone number, and when you call their number to find it's a general mailbox, and when you finally get a receptionist, they tell you that the person you're trying to reach doesn't have a voicemail box, email address, or a mailing address where you can send them your writing samples? That's the antithesis of "taking a hint".

But if you want to tell yourself (and me, and everyone around us) that it's "to keep the fans away", well, you do that.
