Even though I think most writers already make a lot for their garbage writing, the administrative leeches in Hollywood make way too much money and the excess money they gain would better suit the workers.

Dark_Arbron 07/16/23 1:00:23 AM #43:	CARRRNE_ASADA posted... Im pretty sure the words "somehow Palpatine returned" were the result of frustration of having the big wigs telling you how the story's gonna go. Most of them are pretty capable, but they write for the intended audience. Kinda like classically trained musicians working for pop artist cause it pays the bills. This is why fanfiction has so much potential. Zero barrier to entry (which works against it as well as for it) and no overhead meaning you can write what you want. Its just a shame that potential isnt often realised. --- "The US is not a single country.

I do mean it when I say every person so far I've seen who actively doesn't support it is either an AI grifter, or an alt-right wackjob who can't go two sentences without whining about jews (which of course they think every actor who has ever existed is.). --- Born to lose, live to win! <cite>AbsolutelyNoOne posted [p:974872099] in Do You Sup...
