I said oh-ee-oh-ee-oh! ICE! ICE! ICE!

There may yet come a day when I don't respond to someone's declaration of

"Brr! It's cold in here!"

with

"There must be some Clovers in the at-mos-phere!"

But that's not a day I look forward to.

Two points I'm pondering:

1. Would anyone outside of Britain give a crap about Guy Fawkes' Day if not for Alan Moore?

2. Will the writers get what they deserve? I hope so. They produce the content that keeps me me fangirling, and they deserve better percentages of sales. That much I agree with. Maybe I'll post something longer in Teacup later. Usually strikes piss me off, but I'm finding myself supporting this one.

And when, suddenly, you're turning out ideas for multiple media - you're writing for your show AND for online mini-episodes AND other online content - you deserve to be compensated for all of that. Not just the TV stuff. Media changes, and they're demanding that the writers change with it ... but not offering to compensate them for it. Not cool, in my book.

Nor mine. If they have to do the work, they should get paid for it. Not only that, if the show is going to be earning money from Internet sales and dvd sales, and not compensating the writers for it, that's just Not Cool.

(and ditto on the WGA thing. Oh, man, ditto.)

Exactly. I mean, this is where I give major points to the South Park guys for negotiating an internet clause into their contracts...
