I have two possible stocking stuffers earmarked. Just in case I feel like torturing myself some more.

Right now, I'm just trying to decide if the two dropped words are worth an email with "should be Blah blah AND blah" in it.

The good news is that my would-have-been beta readers gave me a sanity check read after posting (which is how the dropped words got noticed) and they all liked it and thought it worked.

It's... not my usual style at all. At all at all.

I managed to completely forget about writing my yuletide story, and wrote it the day of, eleven hours before it was due, in an hour, and subsequently posted it.

I do not recommend such methods to others. Seriously, brain = explody.

It's probably not worth contacting the Yuletide mods for a comma, huh. Oh, well. Yuletide pinch hit uploaded.

I need to be dead now.

What would happen if NBC hired fanficcers to write The Office

...

...

Yeah, okay. Thanks for that.

Aaaand suddenly I find myself feeling a surge of antipathy towards the WGA. Which is most unreasonable.

I can't watch the video, but Fay, never take *anything* seriously that comes from Lee G*ldb*rg's blog.

Yeah. He's kind of known as a wanker. It's his only actual talent.

Oh, I know that. See, the thing is I don't think he made it, or had anything to do with it. I think he's just posting it because he thinks it's oh-so-funny-and-incisive.

(It's called The Writers Room, [sic] and is written, shot, directed and edited by Jason Buckley. Whoever he may be.)

It's a minisode thing, showing what crazy whackjobs fanficcers are, with their perverse slash-lovin' ways and their total lack of social skills etc, in order to underline how smashing proper writers are, and how very much the studios need them. Ho ho ho.

Honestly, it left a very bitter taste in my mouth; with Allyson doing her damnedest to help raise money for the Crew over the Christmas period, with fans marching to support the writers - and, let's face it, it's only the hardcore geek people who know who hell the writers are, and who actually GIVE a damn about them. Joe NonObsessed TellyViewer Guy could really care less, and isn't going to be sending any of his hard-earned money to support the WGA (with crazy pencil funds or with Cash for the Crew or whatever). With all that - sure, let's take the piss out of the fans. They're all just so whacky and freaky! Captain Sanity does not drive their tugboat!

::sighs::

But he's not speaking for the WGA -- he's on their side in the strike (and should be), but he's some dude with a blog and some vidding software.

(To clarify: the Buckley dude, not LG: but don't let either one of them turn you off the writers, because it's not the writers talking here.)

And that's the only reason LG posted it.
