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.)

It's a minisode thing, showing what crazy whackjobs fanficcers are, with their perverse slash-lovin' ways and their total lack of social skills

And that's the only reason LG posted it.

And that's the only reason LG posted it.

He's a jackass, Fay, and not worth your anger. Although Fandom_wank had some nice commentary on him yesterday, which I found amusing.

Do the Yuletide stories go live and readable to the general public on Christmas Eve?

Jonah Goldberg? I think he got his job because of who his mommy is.(If I have the right guy) He is probably sad that he has such a small dick, nobody could slash him with anybody. And he thinks he's witty...he's half right.

I'm sorry, I've evidently expressed myself badly.

I do realise that Jason Buckley isn't speaking for the WGA - however, he's put together a little show which is explicitly aiming at showing how important real writers are by depicting fanficcers as talentless freakazoids. That is the entire purpose of the filmlet: to support the WGA by taking the piss out of fanficcers. This strikes me as cheap

And that's the only reason LG posted it.

Um, yes. So? Really, LG has nothing to do with my post. Dana, if I knew how to make the linky link go directly to wherever Lee took it from, I'd have done that. But I don't know how to do that. I'm well aware of who he is and what his stance is on fanfic. That doesn't leave me feeling disappointed.

The fact that some bloke got a team of actors and a videocamera and made a whole wee filmlet to support the Writers' Strike by ridiculing fanficcers - that makes me feel irritable and disheartened. And pissy with the WGA by association, in much the same way I might feel pissy about a charity if Joe FilmmakerGuy was belittling, oh, say the teaching profession, or my home town, or something else I care about, in order to make said charity look good. Regardless of whether he was doing it with said charity's permission.

It's nice that you didn't have that response to the film. You're obviously nicer people than I am.

Wait, these two (eta: Jonah and Lee) are related? That's just...whoa. How much jackholery can spring from one womb?

(Though some of my blogs are having a fabulous time with Jonah's new book, out just in time for xmas mockery. A couple of examples: [link] [link]

What, there are three Goldberg brothers? Jeez. So far it sounds like Tod is the only one who's not an asshole.

Unless Jonah's name is just coincidence?

Sorry, Fay, didn't mean to misinterpret you.

Christmas Day, technically, though they often open the archive early if everything's in place.

Someone remind me that I'm not a loser even though I only wrote one yuletide story.

I'm at my parents' house! I'm sick! I had six Christmas concerts! No spare time!
