  • Commented on A footnote about the publishing industry
    All the shows you've mentioned have fairly standard-sized writers rooms for drama (5-9). The comparatively smallest team of the lot might be GoT, with a relatively small room (5-ish) for what is a very heavy-duty show (production and plot wise)....
  • Commented on A footnote about the publishing industry
    TV fiction (which I know you don't care for as a viewer, but is relevant here) offers interesting examples of quality collective writing. US hour-long (read 42') serialized 'dramas' (includes everything non-comedic, thrillers, SF, etc) typically are staffed with 5-7...
  • Commented on Amazon: malignant monopoly, or just plain evil?
    Like most here, I'm watching this from the bleachers, so I may be missing some fine points of play, but I fail to grasp how Amazon's strategy is the doom of writing as a trade. What did I miss ?...
  • Commented on The prospects of the Space and Freedom Party reconsidered in light of the crisis of 21st century capitalism

    First : thanks for the Deltic diesel engine gif, Charlie, I wasn't aware of those, and they're nearly as sexy as Wankels (npi). With that out of he way, I'm wondering about electrical flywheels as compliment to PV solar and...
  • Commented on What's The Future For Virtual Reality Movies?
    Although the question of VR as a narrative medium is an interesting one, I suspect framing it as "what future for VR movies" is not helpful, and motion sickness is the least of the issues there. 'Movies' is short for...
  • Commented on How To Survive A Death March
    You don't necessarily need a drafting table : the key is the drafting chair. There is plenty of choice of regular desks that can be readily upgraded to standing height by the simple replacement of legs/tresles or the addition of...
  • Commented on How To Survive A Death March
    If your circumstances allow for it, and you haven't tried already, I'd suggest you give a serious shot at working on your feet — preferably not just standing in place. Despite their discouraging Web2.0 cliché-d image, standing desks really make...
