Hey guys - you would not believe the number of submissions that we receive on a daily basis. We just don't have enough time to respond to all of them. We DO look at each & every one, but to be honest, we've been so busy working on the projects that we already have in our pipeline (TNR etc.) that we just haven't had time to really start moving on the submissions. We will soon & if we think your submission will work - we will contact you for more information.
Also, just because we don't contact you doesn't mean that we don't like your effect - please don't take anything personally. For example, we have received a ton of torn & restored card submissions - because of our product TNR, we won't really have a market for a torn & restored card for a little while. This doesn't mean that we dislike those submissions, or that they aren't great effects, it just means that they don't currently fit what we're looking for.
I hope this answers your questions & again, don't take it personally if you don't hear back from us. Happy holidays & I'll talk to you soon!
