Gotta love me some TV... and the writers
Nov. 9th, 2007 09:44 am*sigh* It makes sense to support the writers instead of whining so here I go.
I got this from the![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wga_supporters community, originally posted by bardicvoice.
I read through the community and it does make sense. As a writer, even an unpaid, untested one, I should support these people who are asking for a cut of something they created. It's their words that we watch over and over again on DVD and iTunes downloads. Why shouldn't they get a cut?
And I don't want a TV full of reality shows. It smacks of that Doctor Who episode that I can't remember the name of that deals with Satellite 9. A world of either continuous news or continuous reality shows. No fun!
Someone mentioned that this strike doesn't just affect the current writers but all those people that are struggling to break into the business or will someday be in the business.
I'm not exactly sure what I can do other than to complain to the networks if it becomes unindated with too many reality shows or reruns. Someone else on the site mentioned looking for good articles and support the newspeople that are writing about the strike. I could make sure I'm only giving out true information in the inevitable conversations about what's going on.
