Just gonna remind every aspiring or beginner writer on here from personal experience to NOT participate in any “Pitch Contests” or even “fan-casting” rn.  Hollywood studios do not have ideas w/o writers. Don’t ever let them take yours for free. #WGA #writersstrike pic.twitter.com/i88O5Hmo1S  — Nicole Nichelle (@alamanecer) May 2, 2023ALT

And if you do get paid for your ideas/writing during the strike, that is considered scabbing and you will be barred from the WGA for life, as per this email from the Blacklist:

And, because a lot of people don’t understand this bit, this is about you selling your ideas or writing to US-based TV studios or movie studios who are part of the AMPTP. There is no strike against book publishers. Nor audiobooks, graphic novels, or poetry publishing. Or just writing.

Read the above from the WGA.

outtathinairstudio Do you get royalties for Strawberry Shortcake or Care Bears?  I don't and I never did. I signed a WORK for HIRE agreement when I began my job at American Greetings. Back in the 70s. As far as I know no one on staff got royalties. Independent freelancers sometimes did. I supplement my Social Security with what I make from my art. When my husband died in 2018 after a long and horrific period I lost most of my Retirement money and was in debt. I relaunched my studio under Outta Thin Air.  I am now out of debt and was able to build a #TinyStudio. I appreciate all the patrons have purchase my art merch.  My personal selling site outtathinairstudio.com  #QAndASeries  My plan is to add to this series as the questions continue to pop up.ALT


Muriel Fahrion, the creator of Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears, was under a work for hire contract when she created them and as a result has received no residuals over the last 40+ years. If you like either of those properties, consider purchasing something from her website. She has art and cute jewelry!

There’s a lot going on in that little critter’s head right now.

1. Power move. 

2. Why do people whisked away to magical worlds just automatically believe the first creature that tells them what side the person needs to help? Where’s my isekai where the MC slowly finds out they got in with like the deranged zealots and are part of the evil faction, and not the plucky rebels? 

I think about this comic once per week. It’s funnier then anything I can conceive of. Mastery.
