Of course I'm pleased to hear that certain GAG artists are willing to express their show of support to the WGA. (After all, when one is formally forbidden to carry on with one's professional activities, it's good to hear from others who wish to convey their goodwill.)

However, this thread was meant to inquire if there are other WGA members among the Ohana (not GAG artists), who might like to exchange PMs during the current strike.

Meanwhile, C & A, by all means please carry on with your creative activities. A show of Solidarity doesn't mean you should deprive the community, or yourselves, of continued creative expression. In fact, it's rather distressing to hear that the strike has had this effect on you.

Please keep up your creative work, especially your 'original' creative work, as this in no way would do harm to the WGA's efforts, and indeed helps keep the creative spark alive for all of us in general. I'm still writing, and indeed many if not most WGA members are, we just can't pitch anything, or accept any payment for deals we may have labored to put in place, virtually anywhere in the industry. Yet hopefully the literary work we continue to do will someday be justly compensated in the New Media age (right now, Nothing-At-All for full downloads is a bit low for what goes into the work, and a bleak future prospect as well).

In any case, as you are GAG artists, you're not under the same professional restrictions that some of the literary artists I had hoped to reach out to on this forum may be, and so, while I thank you with all the sincerity you merit for your kind reply, I'll hope you won't let this time of difficulty further interfere with your creative life.
