Way too much information, Sandra.

While there may not be money in writing shorts, a film student could lift your script and take full credit for it when he or she shows it around.  If you want to enter a writing competition, be advised that most competitions do not accept produced scripts.

No good will come of NOT protecting your work.

No way. Only the sex panties.

And as far as exposition, I try and show and not tell. I think I really screwed up big time.

I'm not sure that showing your sex panties is all that approprite in the Voice Over - Questions, Comments, Suggestions, Contributions section of Simply Scripts.  I think the exposition of your shorts would be more appropriately located in the getting to know you section.

You make me laugh, Michael.   You really do.
