Craig McCracken defies my general opinion that people connected with animated shows refuse to interact with fans. I've seen random posts directed at him from here get responses. I think your chances are good.

Oh, THANK YOU SOOOO much, you guys! :anime: :D And pitbulllady, I am so bookmarking that site! And Kagetsu, thanks very much for the tip! I am sure Craig IS a nice guy who takes time for his fans! ;) Sometimes the creator of Codename: Kids Next Door speaks with me............but it is a shame that THAT show is ending soon too....oh well, thanks A MILLION again! You guys are the best! :)

Send a PM to him, he posts on here as PuffDaddy

^ His PM function is disabled, so that would be impossible.

He will divulge information about Fosters when he feels like it.

Didn't notice that, thought he only turned off his e-mail functions

Yeah I hope your not trying to contact him just to bug him about future episodes or something like that. Because your really not going to get anywhere if that's the case.

I'd considered mentioning that in my reply, but decided against it, giving the original poster the benefit of a doubt. Since you brought it up, though, I might as well elaborate and tell the original poster NOT to try sending in script ideas, storyboards, etc., since the show's producers will NOT read them, and indeed, are not even supposed to look at them at all! Cartoon Network only accepts scripts or storyboards created by PAID staff that they have hired to do those things. They do NOT accept material from fans, since this can get into all sorts of copywrite/legal mess. I have been told by writers and producers of other shows that they are not even supposed to read fanfiction or look at fanart on the internet, let alone consider using anything sent to them by fans on the show.

Woah, calm down. They're just giving you pointers.

[catlove390]

Yeah, well, SU182 and Darth Gonzo did not come across very Nice, it seemed to me. :mad: once again, I am NOT an idiot, and I already know that Sending an episode idea would be just as worthless as anyone who thinks that sending an episode idea to Butch Hartman to try to save the show Danny Phantom would be pointless as well....Know how I know? Well, guess what? I sent a LONG story to him a LOOOONNNNG time ago.......and guess what happened? It got sent right back!! Sheesh......so I KNOW! :mad:

Wow uh....I really don't have an explanation to why I'm closing this, but I just want to.

Craig & Crew are busy busy people, and just don't have time for each and every e-mail/letter/comment ect. Craig is really good in terms of creators of shows with communication, but he's just like everyone of the people in this thread. He deserves his peace and you should give it to him.

As for sending in stories, I'm not even sure if they're allowed to read them due to copyright laws. Like if you give him the idea of 'Goo adopting Bloo' or something, and they use it without crediting you, they could be taken to court. I know that's what the WWE feels with storylines, so I'd imagine this applies to scripts in sitcoms/cartoons as well. So don't get your little hearts broken if they don't use them, because really they can't.
