Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
It's for a television thing. Aimee sent me an ad that asked for submissions...they're looking for new writers.
But they want a resume and I don't know what the hell a writing resume even looks like. It's not like former employment. It's not like I can put "2005 - 2006. Livejournal Entries. Some drabbles. Duties included: Not sucking overly much."
*sigh*
You can't? Crap. (Gets offline to rewrite resume.)
But if they're looking for new writers, your sample is going to be much more important than any professional writing experience. Discuss in your cover letter how you've always been interested in TV, blah blah. Also mention any experience you have in that field -- didn't you do some production work, or lighting or something, with ND? That could be more important than the writing experience -- again, your sample has to be what wows them.
Did you do any writing or non-acting stuff for any comedy group? That would probably be worth putting on there.
Oh, there's a good call! Okay, now I'm getting some ideas.
Can I put You'll All Pay on there as well, do you guys think?
Also, how does one format a writing resume?
Yeah, definitely put You'll All Pay on. And I would format it like any other resume.
What about the G4 thing?
What about the G4 thing?
Yeah, I can put down the appearance on Filter.
The actual writing for G4 did not so much happen, though. Pity.
The Biscuit
All life is woe.
He is gone from this house and from this earth. He will never return. Lo, these many nights, his bed is empty.
Poor thing, she knows not her fate of solitude. I must bring her a stuffed animal to cheer her up.
Of course, this means I can now sleep on the couch. And she still has access to the food, although who knows how long it will hold out.
O joy! Joy of all joy! This is the best of all possible days! He has come home! I wonder if he brought me a treat?
Poor abandoned critters, so happy to see us.
