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.

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

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!

I have "only" written two. But, I'm unencumbered by a schedule at present, and intended to write five. (I still could! Honest!)

I tried to pick up PH's, but they were always gone by the time I emailed. I'm just glad I got my one story in on time. And now I can't wait for the archives to go live! It's going to be so late for me, comparatively. I have to cultivate patience.

I only got one done, although I'm trying to get something else finished, as well.

I finished my original one, finished a pinch hit, and am now feeling an odd sort of pressure to write a Yuletide Treat.

What the hell is wrong with me?

If I hadn't been struck by a cold today, I think I'd have written a treat. (It was simmering in my head in a nice, simmering fashion.)

If I feel better in the morning, I still might.
