Read that in the paper this morning. Hope Berman reads it, and listens.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
If you do a signed script thingy, make sure it gets posted to Whedonesque. They get something like 8000 hits per day.
Definitely. I asked Bryan and he said he and Todd will sign some scripts and DVD sets for us. We'll probably do one creative contest where we give away scripts and one promotion-related one where we give away DVDs. Some people from my forums (including the woman who designed SaveWonderfalls) are also making a new site called WhatisWonderfalls.com for new viewers. We're getting show clips and lots of pictures. We're going to advertise it with business cards with a penny taped to them -- on the side with the penny they say "see a penny, pick it up" and on the other side there's a picture of the wax lion with "whatiswonderfalls.com" underneath. Hopefully we can get people to leave them all over their cities.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That's sweet. Make sure ginger sends you boxed sets and reimburses you for mailing. Because, yo, 20th is rich, and I'm assuming you aren't.

That was colder maybe than intended. I just hate seeing you do so much free PR for her, and then go all out-of-pocket as well.

From his lips to Gail's ears.
I agree. Except for that Firefly crack. I still think it could have made it had they treated it well, or even ok.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
From his lips to Gail's ears.
Oops, almost an X-post with libkitty. Yeah, I asked Goodman about Firefly, and he wasn't all that sympathetic. But then he probably didn't see it in order, and you all know how that went.

Stoopid Fox, showing my lovely show out of order.

Nah, it wasn't cold. She's sending the sets to Bryan and getting him to autograph them and send them back, and then she'll send directly to the winners. I'm getting Bryan and Todd to send the autographed scripts directly to the winners, too -- no need for me to be a middleman; it just delays everything.
I should get a commission on the DVD sets sold. ;)

ABC has two hit shows (no need to name them) that you should have had.
Had Fox gotten Lost, would have been buried on Fridays and gone in 5, maybe 6 eps.
