Stay here. We're sane. Mostly.
Or were the same kind of crazy that you are, Allyson.
A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It would make a nice distinction between millionaire showrunners and the rank-and-file who really need the new contract. It's got to make it harder when the best spokepeople are the ones suffering the least.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
An ad in TVGuide costs 80k. At least, that's how much it cost like four years ago.
Aha. That was me asking, so cheers. There goes that idea, then. Although I still think, retrospectively, a Variety advert ain't going to say anything people don't already know. Unless I'm wrong.
When one of your spokespeople is the producer of Lost... No, I'm not mean enough to finish this sentence.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I think there's a misunderstanding between showrunners' pay and staff writers' pay. Showrunners make millions.
And the fans are running over the cliff like lemmings. Shit, I almost went over with them. And then the meds kicked in.

Allyson, Polgara, the bags were beautiful (and Kristen - I loved your picture! I loved it that I could tell not only that it was you, and what a lovely scarf you were wearing, but also I could totally see, coat and lovely scarf and all, that you definitely lost some weight, compared to other pictures of you I saw recently). Go, all of you!

I think the entire point of doing it through UH was to have a named thing behind it, so people did go over the cliff like lemmings. I doubt many of them will die, though.
A certain amount of those people posting on Whedonesque are from the UK, and from their point of view, showrunners don't make millions. Because they don't here. Obviously, though, the context is the Writers Guild of America, so it's kinda a mute point, but I think it's part of the problem.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm not sure what cliff you're referring to. (Unless, as Kevin assumes, you mean the pencil campaign people were gung ho about in the first place.)

Ain't nothing wrong with Lindelof.

moot.

Unless he was making a My Name Is Earl reference.
