They don't want links or quotes. They want articles that include your byline/name.

I submitted links.  :(  Oh noooo.  We're applying as an organization though and I included links to each author that's coming.  I did include in the email that if they wanted supplemental information we could provide it.  I'm not sure if I should resend the app or just wait and see if they need more.

I was thinking he meant links from other outlets talking about him. Know what I mean? Like if When Nerds Attacked linked to something he wrote.

When I applied, I printed off the articles, scanned them, and emailed them with the packet.

Good luck to all applying for a press pass! Keeping fingers crossed for all and yes Patman you should get approved based on your photos. Don't know why you are having to submit verification materials everytime. I got the email that verification materials were not due! whew! Yes it is a lot of scheduling of emails and hoping to get some decent requests for coverage. Keep networking and keep on blogging/shooting along. Took me a few years of 'sorry' not approved emails to finally get in. Now it's just making sure to keep on getting the right coverage and photos taken. (plus making sure I can get a jr. badge for son)

I included links to articles for each of us and links to all of our archives because we have almost 200 articles and I'm not sure how to send them all of that exactly.  I hope what I provided will work.  :(

You don't need to send ALL. You select at least three different articles to submit. The PDF also states to please email/mail print outs or screen shots of the articles.

Then I suppose this means I am resubmitting with an apology.  Funny how 6 people looked over this and every single one of us, including the person who was supposed to be our pro, missed the "screenshot" requirement.

Edit: I'm so scared I screwed up ugh.  We've been working so hard for this :(  I don't want to let my writers down.

I'm just going to go drown myself in chocolate for the rest of the evening and sob a bit.

I think I'm done going through the vetting process for a 4th year as press, so I'm going to sit out SDCC 2014.  Hope everyone else gets their press credentials, and has a fabulous time!

Even if you don't come as press, you should still come, Patman!!!

As much as I'd like to show up again, some unexpected expenses came up (recent break-in and home burglary, replacing the window, installing a home alarm, etc.) so SDCC is just not going to happen in 2014.  Who knows, maybe, I'll be back in 2015.  Have fun, y'all!

is now resolved
I'm sorry to hear that, Patman.  Best wishes to you and your family!  I hope all goes well and everything is smoothly resolved.  We hope you can join us again for Comic-Con 2015!  Take care, and definitely keep in touch with us on the forums in the meantime.  ^__^

I'm assuming nobody has heard anything yet?  They said 4-6 weeks and I think it's been about 8 now.  Stressful.  :/

I'm so sorry to hear abt the burglary. I hope nothing irreplaceable was lost.
When you're in place to make the trip again or want to live vicariously check in! On a related note, local cons can be massive fun. Are there any close by?
