Ping Elroy: You made HBO |
Tonight's (6/20) Six Feet Under episode starts with a woman seeing
helium filled sex dolls floating in the sky, set loose accidentally from a
truck, gets out of her car yelling "sweet Jesus!" Running into traffic,
she's hit by a car.
Sound familiar? <g>

By Order of the EAC, or it would be an order of the EAC if the EAC
existed, which it doesn't, Elroy is awarded the Congratulational Medal

Tonight's (6/20) Six Feet Under episode starts with a woman seeing
helium filled sex dolls floating in the sky, set loose accidentally
from a
truck, gets out of her car yelling "sweet Jesus!" Running into traffic,
she's hit by a car.
Sound familiar? <g>
Brilliant! I think the EAC should forge a new medal just for Elroy!
Indeed! However, I think he should also consider suing HBO! ;)
Nah...just ask for royalties. Who knows...that twisted mind of his might
get him a gig writing for quirky drama shows!

I'm in a bit of a quandary, to tell the truth. I want to make some
money off the story, but I don't want to ***** anyone off and burn
any possible bridges before they're even built... :)
I really think the show could use some of my previous stories and
ones I can come up with as the starting basis for future episodes, and
the rest of the episode can be handled by the other eight writers.
I was actually surprised to find out that a single show had so many
writers. I thought maybe two or three, but eight? So, I figure
what's one more?

Elroy,
I don't talk about it much because it sounds like bragging to a lot of
people but I worked in TV for a couple of seasons. As an assistant to a
writing staff. Got to the point where I was about one degree away from
ST:TNG and had scripts. Looking back on it now, it's kind of funny because
you talk about my life would have been *very different if I hadn't walked
away.
(There is a writer out there now who is making, last I know, a quarter a
million a year who I got started in television. The irony is not lost on
me as I'm in bankruptcy now.)
It is, simply put, a *miserable place. I would not recommend it. Not
unless money means that much to you. You *can make unholy amounts of cash.
Almost every single writer on the staff had started only about three years
before. They were all well into six figures and there were BMWs and
Mercedes far as the eye could see. Not to mention everybody had the house
in Santa Fe or where ever they liked to escape to.
*But, you'd have to move to LA, start as a "grunt" (if you could get the
job, for every low level grunt in television, there are two dozen people
willing to step over your body), play the politics, and be ready to jump
if the chance opens up. It would mean twelve to fourteen hour days and
being treated like something somebody scraped off their shoes for a couple
of seasons (nothing like being at the office twelve hours a day, wrapping
your boss's xmas presents at 9 o'clock at night... no, I'm not kidding,
been there, done that).
Oh, it has its attractions. First time I had a crowd at a party hanging on
my every word (and I was a glorified *secretary for crying out loud) it
was... well... it was a high. Going out to the set, "paling around" with
actual TV actors, having a crew jacket (and people notice that in LA...
when I first moved back this way, people didn't get it at all that the
jackets aren't something you can find in a gift shop... still have mine,
never wear it anymore). Being at the launch party and actually seeing
something on screen that you worked on, that was something. Really was.
Weird as hell but, dunno.
I did not like the person I was turning into though. I was a backstabbing
*****. Place does that to you.
Worked for this one writer, both seasons. Real southern gentleman type.
*Damn* good writer. He was being chewed up by the place. He's still out
there but I'm surprised he hasn't had a heart attack. Or at least one hell
of an ulcer. I asked him one time why the hell he did TV instead of prose
(which he was *so good at). He said, simply "the money."
Anyway...
If you're at all interested in TV writing, the *credit is everything. If I
were in your situation and at all interested in getting back into that
business, I'd be after getting a credit more than money (though at least
WGA minimum payment would be nice). Actually, I'd be interested in the
credit more than anything just in general. But particularly if I were at
all interested in writing for TV.
However, Hollywood is a closed shop. You *must be a WGA member to work.
You can get away with *one sale but after that, if you don't join, you
don't work.
Only one show I know of in the past twenty years has bothered with outside
submissions. That was ST:TNG which did it for a while. I'm sure the WGA
was stomping all over them for it. Getting an "in" is the big problem with
TV. It's very closed, very incestuous, and who you know counts for
*everything.
(Which is why people who manage to land a "grunt" position put up with all
the shitty treatment... you're making contacts, no contacts, no future in
"the industry," simple as that)
If you were Shakespeare himself, you'd have a snowball's chance of getting
into television. Hell, the way I got the ***** job was via a contact I made
by accident with a writer (who, get this, was one of the creators of Dukes
of Hazard but didn't think the show was worth anything and sold his rights
off... he had been kicking himself for *years <g>). The only way I got
that first "in" was knowing somebody.
It is simply NOT a nice place to work. And even in just a short time, I
saw it chew some people up. What they became in order to survive... well...
I'm not sure you're mean enough to work in that industry. You've even
hesitated to swing a lawyer at them over this. Hell, *I would have had a
lawyer on them Monday morning...

I'd actually like to hear more about your experiences if you feel like
spending the time writing about them here. I wouldn't consider it
bragging in the least.

Right now it does mean a lot to me. I'd like to make an actual
income off of creative writing, and the thought of programming a
computer for the next 20 years doesn't really appeal to me, since I've
grown bored of it lately. Luckily, or actually intelligently, I
stashed away some money when I was doing well in the computer
programming field, and I'm living off that now, but it's running out
slowly...

But they've already used one of my story ideas, so couldn't I bypass

That's what I tried with David Brenner and all I got was a free book.

I've already contacted a couple different lawyers and gave them some
links to read, and they're gonna check it out and let me know if they
think I could win a case against HBO. I'm not gonna get my hopes up
too much, though.

Don't be stupid, don't sue them and don't raise a lot of hell.
You don't want money, you want an opportunity. If they liked

Offer them the use of other stories, with credit of course. Ask them
what they're looking for and offer to write it, with credit of course.
Use this. Don't be an idiot, get angry and try to get a check out of
this, welcome it with open arms & praise and try to turn it into a
steady income.

Yeah, that's a good one. Gotta have somebody die in the story
so they can use it on the show. I think the one about the cross
falling off the church wall and killing the pastor might make for
another good one, and the one about the guy who slips on a bar
of soap in his bath tub while trying to walk on water. :)
