Seems like a good day for a reminder of how quick studios are to screw over writers. In 1999, NBC moved a series from their regular network to Sci Fi Channel. My pay went from $240,000 to $0. Because my contract paid "per broadcast episode" instead of just "per episode."

The series ran. I just got nothing.

🆕 blog! “How can I have a side hustle when I don't want to pay for anything?”

I've been reading various entrepreneur books and blog posts1. One thing they all emphasise is that success often comes from finding a problem that you yourself would pay money to solve. And that's a problem for me. I don't tend to want to spend money solving problems. I'm not claiming to be a he…

"....so he abandoned his new family in favor of walking more than 600 miles on foot to reunite with his blood-kin.

While up north, he managed to establish a new home for his wife and children near his brother, even saving up a modest nest egg to bring them to Canada. This process took 11 years.

Upon returning to fetch his family, Sukanen found that not only had his love died in a flu epidemic during his absence, but their children had been separated from one another, placed in foster homes, and his old farm lay in ruin. After tracking down his only son, the two made for the Canadian border only for the boy to be rejected and sent back to his foster home."

No communication, support or foundation for your family- you leave for over a decade- and you expect everything to be fine and dandy when you get back?

Attention, hoarders and fansubbing fans! At ease.
I am looking for two public releases. Filenames are:
[gg-xiph] MUSASHI -GUN道- 01 (Dirac Vorbis ASS).ogv
[gg-xiph] Bakemonogatari 3 (720p Theora Vorbis Kate) [39aa93fd].ogv
The torrents have long not been seeded, in fact, I tried downloading the first one for over a year without anyone seeding it.
I'd really like to get these relics from the wild west days of pre-H264 dominance. If you do have them, either send me a link, or start seeding them.
Thanks!
