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!
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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!
And the fans are running over the cliff like lemmings.
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.)
When one of your spokespeople is the producer of Lost... No, I'm not mean enough to finish this sentence.
Ain't nothing wrong with Lindelof.

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
moot.

I don't know if I should pretend I was or not. Mummy, help!

Browsing Fans4Writers, I came upon this MySpace...which plays a very amusing protest song.

The part that's been entertaining the crap out of me is when people start to explain things to Allyson regarding fan campaigns and how to position things and how they think people will view things, like it's her first time at the rodeo.
Next, I think I'll tell Tim how he should go about killing off characters on Miracle Man and Dollhouse.

It's difficult to explain this without being/appearing to be an arrogant cunt in the been there/done that/actually understands how it all works and actually lives here and knows the issues inside and out department.
And so, I do dishes instead.
