Over the years I've had two projects optioned. It's a brutal process. I can tell horror stories of having to take advice from a twenty five year old Ivy League chick who made all her decisions based on focus groups. One book died when the studio got bought out and everyone working on developing it got let go. The other faded because somebody else got something similar out first. And it didn't do well.

My agent earned his cut getting that far. It helped that a couple semi important people in Hollywood saw my work and said good things about it. If you have the networking skills, I don't, comicon is good for building the fan base. Not sure it's the place to makes deal or be discovered.
