I’m saying this as a fan, but also as somebody who worked their arse off writing screenplays at film school, don’t hate on the writers when they go on strike.

Writers control the story of the show, there is so much detail and fine tuning done in the scripts. Everything an actor or a director adds, is adapted from the script. There is no show without the script, but still screenwriters are horrendously underappreciated and underpaid.

Director, actors and producers usually end up with most of the credit.

Writers deserve to be seen. If your favorite show is delayed because of the upcoming strikes, don’t be surprised and please don’t be angry at the writers. They are fighting for their art to be appreciated.

Some of your shows are gonna get cancelled.

Some will come back but lose their momentum and you’ll wish they’d been cancelled.

This isn’t the fault of writers. This is the fault of the studios.

The Writers’ Guild has made a list of demands that will cost $500 million a year across the ENTIRE industry. Every studio, every streaming service, every film, every show, every writer: total cost $500 million. One streaming alone could foot the entire bill and still be in comfortable profit. Its half of what Amazon spent on Rings of Power alone. A little more than what Netflix spent on The Gray Man.

The studios can easily afford this. They’re just being assholes about it.

Don’t blame the writers.

i’m going to be blunt: if you tag a post where i identify myself as queer as “q slur” or “slurs,” i am just going to block you.

when i am saying “queer,” i am using it as my identity and not a slur.

it is not a bad word, it is a part of whom i am and best fits my experience.

you do not have to use the word if you don’t like it.

you do not have to label yourself as queer.

but you do need to respect that is a widely reclaimed and used label that many people feel most comfortable employing.

999 - What’s your Emergency? Flash Exchange 2023 - Sign-Ups and Nominations open five more days!

We are a Nine-Nine-Nine day Flash Exchange focusing on fanfiction depicting Emergency Scenarios in Emergency Service Canons! (333 word minimum)

So… 9-9-9?
- 999 is the UK (and other countries’) Emergency Phone Number. It also indicates the schedule of this exchange:
- 9 Days simultaneous Nominations & Sign-Ups (7th-15th April, British Summer Time).
- 9 Days writing time (16th-25th April) after which the collection will be revealed anonymously.
- 9 Days until Authors Revealed on 3rd May 2023 at 10am, (during which time we may still be working on emergency canons, treats, and PHs!)

Nominations
Your nominations must be for canons that feature emergency service personnel from the following list:
- Ambulances/EMTs/Paramedics
- Coastguard
- Dispatch and Call Handlers
- Fire & Rescue (including Mountain Rescue)
- Hospital Emergency Department
- Police/Security Response Officers
- Other Emergency Service that can be justified as an Emergency Service according to the canon lore.

• So far we have nominations for:

9-1-1 (TV) / 9-1-1: Lone Star (TV) / Backdraft (1991) / Blue Lights (TV) / Casualty (TV) / Chicago Fire (TV) / Creator’s Choice of Fandom (TV) / ER (TV, 1994) / The Fall (TV, 2013) / The Fugitive (Movies) / The Guardian (2006) / Heartbeat (UK, TV) / Law & Order: SVU (TV) / Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes (UK, TV) / Line of Duty (TV, 2012) / New Amsterdam, (TV 2018) / Nurse Jackie (TV) / Original Work / Prison Break (TV) / The Resident (TV, 2018) / The Rookie (TV, 2018)

• You can add more nominations at the Tagset here. This is being reviwed at least twice a day by mysef and @lrthreads.

For the most part, nominated characters should be serving Emergency Services Personnel and this should be indicated in brackets. They may also feature as the “Target” of the scenario, i.e. the person being rescued/treated etc. If you would like any of the characters from the canon to feature as an emergency caller/patient/victim of a crime or accident, etc. please use the
“(Target)” format to nominate them.

For example (9-1-1: Lone Star)
Grace Ryder (Dispatcher) - here you would write Grace in her role as Call Handler/Dispatcher.
Judd Ryder (Firefighter) - here Judd would be in his role as Firefighter.
Grace Ryder (Target) - here Grace could be the one being rescued or treated.
Charlie Ryder (Target) - here, their child Charlie could be the one being rescued or treated.

“Original Character(s) (Target)” and “Any (Target)” will be added to each fandom nominated.

Eligibility
- You must be over 18, and an AO3 account is needed. Please also ensure you have access to the email address related to your ao3 account.
- Participants may only sign up with a maximum of one account.

Could you maybe reblog this post if you think respecting trans peoples’ names and identities is a basic right and not a political opinion?

No pressure. Just seeking some validation of my sentiment. Due to some. people
