Of course, that will be made difficult by the fact that my laptop is going in to be repaired. Whoopee. I've still got my clunky old desktop, but it's in the other room, and it's coooooooold...! Fingers crossed they get it fixed and back to me soon. I don't think I can live long without it.
And, random thought, after listening to a few interviews on Gateworld - I've noticed several of the actors interviewed mentioning how nice it was to have regular work with Stargate (David Nykl mentions it, and I think David Hewlett, Carmen Argenziano, maybe some others), and it just... struck me. I know there's a pool of professional actors in Vancouver, and it's kind of a serious job there, so to have a regular part must be quite a significant thing in their lives (and I've known a few actors, and they all do talk about the instability of the job) - but I had the sudden vision of a tyrannical producer, or whoever, telling all the lesser characters, "Be grateful you have regular work! Don't get too cocky - you can be killed off, you know. It'll be a touching death scene. Think of all the starving actors out there - do you want to go back to doing DINNER THEATRE? BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!"
:-)
Okay, my brain is set to random shuffle, I'd better go to bed.
ETA: Oh yes, almost forgot - amongst all the other wonderfulness that is

Yeah on the actors. I was really curious about that at Dragon*Con, looking at how much they charge for autographs and stuff because I know that it can be such inconsistent work and they have big fees for agents and all but then you hear how much they can make per episode and....it sounds like a lot, and so I really found myself wondering.
But yeah.
Glad you liked it! I want more too. Really a lot.
On the other hand, I can sort of see the actors' point of view on that - they're doing the cons even after the show is over, or after their part has ended (Teryl, for e.g.), and I guess getting an ongoing paycheque is part of the benefit of being in a fandom behemoth like Stargate.
I want to write Jack/Sara much, much more than I want to write my NaNo fic. Dammit! ;)
(and then the judgmental part of me says "well, you should have saved money when you did have a regular gig and you're still making more at this con than I do in a year with all those autographs")
So. Really, I have no idea. I know at D*Con I just couldn't picture paying someone that much money for them to sign something - but then I realized that if Amanda Tapping were there I'd be first in line - but more just to meet her.
You should write a NaNo novel about Jack and Sara OMG!
Heehee. Well, seeing as I'm writing Jack/Sara instead of NaNo at the moment, I might have to find a way to sneak them in there.
