It's hard for me to read this and not focus on the fact that the records released don't mention the # of comps circulated at all. There's enough info there to indicate there were hundreds of comps used, but it has none of the details about paid vs. paper that you'd expect in a building settlement. 🤷♂️
Bound For Glory sold at least 5,554 tickets as TNA announced 7,794 in attendance
Public records show 6,137 tickets scanned. TNA says standing room, additional guests, and staff brought the total higher.

I love how many red flags are in this one. The dogshit title with the colon--strike one. 'Pilot book'--strike two. Incredibly outdated, misogynistic redditbro comps that show the guy doesn't read anything new or current--strike three. Congrats dude for your 500 auto-rejects.

Good to know Lockdown 2013 from the alamodome is STILL tna's paid attendance record (7k) also...is anyone buying that there were only 500 comps? Lol

I will get a new photo of it out of sleeve. I've struggled to find comps on this. I've seen sold ones from 6+ years ago for 350 and I've been offered more than that (as a reference for starting point)

Maybe I am too filmmaker-pilled, but I get so annoyed when I can tell exactly the comps someone used to pitch a film.

#AVFC have won eight of their last 10 in all comps, taking 15/18 PL points in the last six weeks, and Unai Emery is beaming.

Motion to permanently abandon the term "oral exam" and instead say "verbal exam" when it comes to PhD comps, proposals or theses... thanks.😅

Selling comps are books that editors would suggest to their salespeople as models for how a particular book will sell. They ideally match the book contentwise, were published in the last five years, AND have sold in strong numbers.

The “create more comps” strategy has largely failed to scale over the past 35 years.
The “do politics” strategy is admittedly much more difficult, but has way more potential to scale.
Mystified why people are still so excited about the viability of the former.

Union Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi is a goal-scoring menace. Scored another two in their draw v Bayern Munich. Up to six for the season in all comps. Asked him about his own approach to set-pieces too. @ESPNFC

1st batch of thoughts from weekend reads of my new pilot are in and with times as tough as they are… saying I needed this is a fucking understatement.
A love letter to home that I hope to share wide soon.
Keep writing.

Look no shade to these teams but two teams dominating comps is never going to be interesting. You need hope, you need an underdog story on these shows for entertainment/investment — at least I do. #TAR38 #AmazingRace
I will take every leg won by Tucker and Eric over Jag and Jas any day. But it sucks that those are somehow the only options #TAR38

What was your route into BTS?
My route in 3 steps:
1. ca. 2018-19: My ARMY PhD student told me about them, I meant to check them out but forgot
2. August 2020: Jungkook mention in Crash Landing on You reminded me of them
3. Found Dynamite & Daechwita, then YT comps & Run BTS, and I was in love

1. Dynamite MV
2. Tiny Desk concert
3. Run BTS
It was their interactions, both during performances and then just when goofing around that got me. How do you not love them together?
