I posted some quotes to be corrected and deleted. It's the second time I've done it for these particular quotes, but they've been ignored. It was submissions 190728-235213-276000 and 190725-134726-726000.
Probably not related to the issue here, but I have to wonder: is that a memorable quote or is it half the script? And looking at the rest of the quotes page I feel like I've read the whole script for the movie!
Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought quotes were supposed to be kept very short, ideally a single line or a couple of lines at most. Has the policy changed since I last checked it?
Yes, I realise that many other long quotes have also been accepted and this is far from the 'worst' example - I didn't intend to pick on this one specifically, just that this thread reminded me of the issue.
It turns out that the guide is far more vague on the subject than I remember - I thought it explicitly said "keep it short" but actually it just implies that with short examples. But still I wonder how these very long sections of dialogue qualify as memorable quotes. Does anyone other than superfans actually repeat these quotes in conversation?
As mentioned in our guide, our preference is that Quotes be brief exchanges between characters, though we are flexible and currently don't have a limitation.
