#Pay Editor

[bulbabutt]

sorry if this is old news but doing an 03 rewatch made me remember what the hell it is that draxums lab (home?? whatever) looks just like

and oh yeah who'd the 03 turtles meet down there

this weirdo mage dude trying to repopulate the hidden city (w what they originally thought were good intentions) whos outfit and silhouette and colour palette is very visually similar to draxums

anyway theres so many similarities between 03 and rise its wild to think people thought this show was nothing like the others lmao

#its so funny to watch this w my brother cuz i remember me and the editor having these thoughts but we were deep in the brain worms back then #but to have someone else sans brain worms months later going HANG ON THIS IS LIKE RISE??? is so validating lmfao #tmnt #rottmnt #tmnt 03 #tmnt 2k3 #rise pays the most homage without being obvious #DELICIOUS SHOW

#look. I am not a video editor but mr. jimmy brodin said they are just having fun with it. #and I was possessed with the need to slap some videos together to the soundtrack of cyndi lauper #could this have been better? yes. but I tragically have to work a job that interferes with my desire to create silly things online #and I've yet for someone to pay me for anything I've done here so #rip to all the clips left on the cutting room floor (my hard drive) #anyway enjoy the range in video quality here <3 love & light #oh also happy end of season wildblr beloved....we may not have playoffs but we have fun :)) and also love on our side #minnesota wild #wild lb #my.edit

In your opinion is there still space for new authors (that don’t write YA) in the publishing industry?

I'm guessing you mean the traditional publishing industry. I’d be a hypocrite if I told you to burn down the Big Five publishing houses that take up space in your head, but you gotta understand that in addition to the shit that’s always been wrong, there’s a now a huge labor issue on account of the buyouts and layoffs last year, not to mention that the recent layoffs in the journalism industry = less book coverage = less publicity = fewer sales = more layoffs of editorial staff.  The chances of you getting a fair shake with that crowd any time soon are not great. Mind you, this is provided you’ve already locked down a literary agent who either likes your shit or thinks it will sell (birth of first child<the purple 😎 on QueryTracker when you get Offered Representation).  In any case, if you’re pitching literary fiction, get acquainted with reputable small presses, micro-presses, and indie publishers—some take unsolicited manuscripts if you aren't repped.

#every literary agent i know has SUCH a fucking backlog of queries because of the editorial layoffs at the publishing houses #since the publisher doesn't want to pay editors to futz with manuscripts the agents have to pitch shit that's basically ready to go #there's this idea that you can write a novel on a bunch of napkins and if it's worthwhile someone will spruce it up so it's fit to print #but now agents gotta be very fucking picky and they aren't going to pick the Great American Napkin #seriously please stop querying your unreadable typo-infested nanowrimo unabomber manifestos...my friends are dying #anonymous #assbox #one thing i'm seeing more of is writers who started out small press/indie publishers getting contracts with the big boys #so that's another way to skin the proverbial cat

my opinion on anything watcher has long since passed being relevant but my main thoughts are

privatized streaming is always antithetical to any 'leftist' notion of universal, available services and is going to alienate their most devoted fans (international)

that being said, I also think it is one of the only survivable tools that isn't literally playing into youtube's hands, which the watcher boys have aired grievances about before

editors, camera people, directors, etc deserve fair compensation and reasonable timelines.

and from a very brief glance at view analytics, I don't think watcher is quote-unquote profitable. popular and afloat maybe, but it's not what 2018 was (nor do i think it can be), so they were probably forced to switch gears

watcher is ultimately a business. trying to hold them (esp shane) to the same standards we hold other comrades is impossible as they literally have different interests

steven is (historically) a bigger part of artistic direction than people want to believe (a lot of the behind-camera talent that leads to the high-quality aspect, for instance)

and ryan and shane are a bigger part of business than people think, being literally joint CEOs (knowing to play up and into their friendship, cutting/backburnering shows that won't turn profits)

tldr bad business decision made by people who aren't business people. which is good, because business is about extracting value, but also bad, because there's no good move here and they picked a bad one

#watcher #also shane has never done real praxis but that's truly besides the point #i understand the desire to live off your art!! really!! and to make things that are about you and fulfilling for you!! #but marketing is an unfortunate capitalist essential and it's stupid to act like we already live in some post-capital world where #art is created because we just want to and also we live off it and pay our editors enough on a fair timeline #it's american-centric and it's greedy and it's all the markers of business. but idk. that's business #finally personally--your money is better spent helping those in need in gaza / palestine / sudan #*txt

RJC talks DA 1

#robert james-collier #robert james collier #rob james collier #rob james-collier #da1 press #mine #oh boy #i know there's a lot of backlash concerning the new post editor but i shall find the silver lining #and that's that i can now be more excessive than ever and present you with not ten but eleven gifs no one asked for #in other news i hate when i see a man so beautiful that every bit of self respect i possess vanishes faster than toilet paper in a pandemic #that last gif...sir #i wouldn't just make him a sandwich but i'd pay to watch him eat it

starting to realize that my ideal life is that of a horror movie creature

#chill by myself. eat people. hang around in abandoned labs. #ina scene for about half a second in the background that you would miss on the first viewing #unless you were really paying attention or fucking around in a video editor #and the mutated grosteque form too. fuck me how did i forget that

[barryroyco]

i’m just saying that if someone either made an edit of house and wilson to bang the doldrums by fall out boy OR wrote a hilson fic based off the song. i’d possibly pass out!

#like i’d pay you #please #calling all editors and fic writers #hilson #house/wilson #greg house #dr house #gregory house #house md #james wilson #dr wilson #robert sean leonard #rsl #hugh laurie #fall out boy #fob #bang the doldrums

(i'm sorry. hold on.

over 3k kudos, and 50k hits.

and no one. not a single soul. was going to tell me that the very first line of ten reasons has a typo in it?)

#sorry to everyone who has worked hard to hand bind my fics #because #the very first line #and i understand that i am a queen of typos #i dont catch everything and never will and I'm okay with that #(also why i pay two separate copy editors for all my academic/research/published personal writing) #but its THE FIRST line #and no one threw stones at my head? #i fixed it now #so if you didnt notice! youll never know now #but REALLY

december 1 on f1 social media: all the new logan fans, born in the furnaces of tiktok loscar edits and williams dragging the suspense on to generate hype, emerge out of the woodwork to celebrate his resigning like the second coming of christ

#happy for him! but also #@ williams when are you paying the loscar editors for doing YOUR marketing team's job 🤨 #bc tell me why i regularly forgot about his existence throughout the season and now he's EVERYONE'S new fav #logan sargeant

[themoonking]

not to get into it but like. they made it pretty clear that they literally cannot afford to keep making content at the same level they have been without pivoting. and some of y’all are getting “money hungry” from that?

#like the amount of money they make from youtube would be a lot if it was literally JUST ryan and shane and steven #but they have a whole host of full time employees + freelancers that they need to pay #they openly said that a season of ghost files costs hundreds of thousands of dollars #watcher tv #i speak #again if this were JUST a typical youtube channel with like. a co-writer and and a couple of editors to pay #THEN yea I would agree that this is unnecessary #but they aren’t?? a typical YouTube channel??

[altruistic-meme]

sometimes new things are good, and sometimes it's better to just stick with the oldies but goodies

#i downloaded a video editor online and it was nice but i could NOT figure it out #granted i didnt look HARD #but i also have a video editing program that I've had since i was like 12???? maybe even younger???? #that my parents got me #and its fucking #yeah #its from 2014 so i was 12 #jesus fuck. #anyway #yeah its 10 years old!!!! #but i know how to use it and so i shall download it and pay it doesn't make my laptop move like molasses fnsjfjjs #shh ac

there are days that I feel bad about the state of coverage and structure at the Miraheze CR wiki, then immediately the Fandom platform starts inflicting some real garbage onto all of their wikis

#I saw how SAD the Mantle of the Tempest article was and cleaned it up #and was despairing over how bad some of the articles we inherited are and how we haven't had time to fix them #and then immediately learned about the AI-generated Quick Answers panels Fandom is putting onto all of its wikis so now I'm feeling better #we may be limited in our resources and time to improve what we inherited at the Encyclopedia but at least it's all human edited and written #at least when our articles are incorrect or badly written or incomprehensible it's human error and not an AI text generator making stuff up #I did contact Fandom telling them it's embarrassing and erodes any faith in the quality and veracity of their articles #and that it destroys any trust in their business practices as it suggests they're completely unwilling to hire and properly pay human staff #tbh fucking RIP those wiki editors who put time into properly written articles only for Fandom to AI mangle it into incorrect gibberish #Critical Role things #since I don't have a wiki tag
