'we feel bad, so want you to have a do-over'

That's not an acceptable option. As always, there's a Simpsons episode that expresses this: Boys of Bummer from Season 18. How about accepting that I came out, that I'm out, and it's up to you to get in touch with me rather than expecting me to write to you. That's for the ladies in particular; yes, you used to love (italics for irony) it when I wrote, but have any of you written me an unprompted letter? No, they haven't, except for Eilish (and that was only recently). 👋 - That's why I'm not keen on this do-over and I am NOT persuadable: I have said no to Tina and you cannot persuade me. No means no. Only no. Always no. My IP = My rules, and I am NOT satisfied with the conduct of the people who want me to whore myself for their pink dollar. - I actually bothered to write to Ant Timpson about Shipwrecked. I wanted producing advice, and I've also updated James Aschroft about all my scripts as he's the only pro director who I know. Ant and James: Tina is not an option. You can make Shipwrecked with me or bugger off. That's fair. I'm going to make this plain to my enemies: theoretical charges of defamation or libel ultimately do not change the truth that I own the IP and I get to make decisions about who gets to work with me (if, indeed, I choose to produce any of my scripts). - As for Alice and Rose: I gathered from Starstruck that you're fans. However, as pros yourselves, you can probably see the logic of why I want people to buy my script rather than being the star myself. That's not an option; I'm not healthy, I'm not stable, and suggesting that I should star is the REASON that I am not well. Let me be a writer: that's all. If you can't accept my script as the sum total of my vision, then you are NOT welcome. It is not a negotiation: no tina, no series, only no. Always no. Simply no. That is ALL. Only no. 👋 - My strike will continue until they relent and accept the option I am offering: buy my script, alter it to suit your interests, then leave me alone.
