There's one local fanboy who fancies himself a Big Time SF/Fantasy/Horror Author. (He doesn't want to write -- too much like work -- he wants to Have Written.) All he sends out are "Proposals", never the finished stuff.
His latest "proposals" (besides the puff piece on himself he put in Wikipedia/Wikifur) are movie scripts -- to hear him motormouth at parties, he's Now A Major Playa (TM) In Hollywood (TM).
Rejecter, have you had to deal with the likes of him?
I don't know who this person is that you're referring to specifically, but there's certainly at least a dozen of them at every major gathering of unpublished writers (known as a Sci-fi Convention). I've met these people at cons, which I now avoid assiduously for that reason.

ROFL...but there's certainly at least a dozen of them at every major gathering of unpublished writers (known as a Sci-fi Convention).
If you do go to and SF cons, just don't use your real name and perhaps wear a Star Trek uniform as a disguise...
Some spoiled children never grow up, so they have to do something to draw attention to themselves and try to make people say they're wonderful - all with little to no work done on their part.
Did you really mean to say that science-fiction conventions are major gatherings of unpublished writers?
They're also major gatherings of published writers. Most of all, they're gatherings of fans.
You've obviously never been to Worldcon, where every single person in the room has an unpublished scifi/fantasy novel. Including me.
You probably wouldn't know him; as far as I know, he hasn't been outside California in over a decade.
P.S. By WorldCon, do you mean the one last August in Anaheim?
No, I was at Worldcon 2004, in Boston.
And here I was, just about to create my own Wikipedia page...
