This bit of news about Moriarty gives some hope to those of us who aspire to hop the fence to the other side.

This brings up the question of whether Joss has in the past accepted any sort of pitch, spec scripts, etc. from a fan.

Quote:

Revolution Studios has bought Post Human, an SF movie pitch from first-time writers Scott Swan and Drew McWeeny, better known as Moriarty on the Ain't It Cool News Web site, Variety reported. Post Human is described as an SF action movie set in the real world, centering on military research to create metabolically enhanced soldiers, the trade paper reported.

Swan and McWeeny are currently tackling the script. They also have other projects being set up at production companies.

As Moriarty, McWeeny covers the movie business for AICN. Now that he's dealing with the studios he writes about, McWeeny may have to watch just how many exclusive early reviews of film scripts and test screenings he submits to the site, the trade paper reported.

Everything I've read indicates that JW prefers to develop stories in house. Back when it was managed by the WB, Buffy.com had a notice that no fan scripts would be considered.
