And a big thank you to
Ken Levine may not be a name you recognize, but if you've ever watched M*A*S*H, Cheers, Fraiser, The Simpsons, Wings, Everybody Loves Raymond, Becker, Dharma & Greg, Almost Perfect, or saw the Tom Hanks/John Candy movie Volunteers, you know his work.
Anyway, the engaging Mr. Levine, via the magic of his blog, shows us what striking WGA writers do in their spare time.
They write 24 fanfiction.
Okay, I'm sure he'd call it a parody. But still. Fanfiction. For serious.
For more pro ficcers writing fanfiction, be sure to read Neil Gaiman's I, Cthulhu (Cthulhu, obviously) and A Study in Emerald (Sherlock Holmes).
Also helping my state of mind is marathoning Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends on DVD thanks to the magic of Netflix.
