A place for Buffistas to discuss, beta and otherwise deal and dish on their non-fan fiction projects.
Yay, Kristin!
Press releases! Paens to exuberance about the most innocuous stuff. But, heck, they're paying you, so Woot!
I would have been a great PR/advertising person, except I feared for my soul.
Go, Kristin! Paying jobs are good.
Yay, Kristin!
I've written press releases, and the last I looked, I still had my soul. It's media relations and lobbying that sucks it out of you.
I had a bone-deep certainty that one day I'd find myself writing releases touting air pollution as making sunset more colorful or that nuclear leaks aided the evolutionary process by kick-starting potentially useful mutations.
I'm a very good BS-er. I try to use my power for good.
There is evidence that people who are exposed to low levels of radiation are healthier.

Thanks everyone! I'm not overly worried about my soul. It was being eaten alive more by the public school system than a press release could ever do.
Congratulations, Kristin!
Dang, ita. I was half-writing a heaven drabble about lying on the beach in my head, but now I won't bother.
And just for the record, I know several people with wonderful souls who work in PR, advertising, what have you. How you make money isn't necessarily who you are.
