I've been looking at these threads over the past few days, and at first I thought it was kinda cool (thanks for the props, Ben), but then things took a turn for the worst, and I was sitting here watching a lot of back and forth ridiculousness. After reading the 6 families in danger of foreclosure story, I too thought that there was some kind of weird underlying problem. Are you living in an abandoned church in commune fashion like "Alice's Restaurant"? I mean 6 families, whould translate to roughly 12 people, and by that equation let's say a mortgage runs $1200 a month (That's american dollars).
So, that's 25 bucks a week. You can get that selling blood. Hell, I made three times that when I was 16. I'm 26 now, and I make a relatively decent living as a Warehouse Operations Manager, as well as the benefit of a fair amount of free time to work on new projects. It's not what I want to do, but like Phil, something's gotta pay the bills.
Now, I don't know what Alan's story is other than what's been posted, but the fact that all of this is going on, and he jumps on the internet as a "release", just doesn't seem like a valid reason to me. If I was in danger of getting the boot from my apartment, the first thing I'd get rid of would be those unnecessary luxury items (The landline phone, the cable/internet package, whatever) and if I needed an escape from reality, I'd hop on down to the local second hand store and pick me up some of those 10/$1.00 paperbacks, then a stop at the grocery store for top ramen and mac and cheese.
Simply put, there's no logic to saying "I get on here, and put myself on a pedestal to avoid my problems." As John Wayne once said, "That's ri-goddamn-diculous".
And since I'm starting to go off on an uncharacteristic rant, I'll stop and leave with this response to the post above.
You may not get cancer, but you'll at least have a severe case of Irritable "bawls" Syndrome.
And for the "Alan case" I agree with you and everyone else. Go out and get a real job! Writing spec scripts aint going to do anything for your family. And as for not being able to go out side...grow up. You're talking like a ten year old in a 24 year old body. Boo-Hoo...what? Do those bad guys who used to beat you up still wait outside your house to take your milk money?
"Fazad", my series, means "f" you in polish. "Bawls" means "f" you in Polish. So basically if I were to see someone Polish I'd just want to keep my mouth shut. Because if I said Hey! They'd get all offended because that means "f" you.

On the other side of the coin, in Polish, "Fuck You", means "Have a Nice Day".
Almost makes me wish I were Polish, until I hear all those jokes, then I wish I were blond.
Alright I've been taking a week long hatius from the boards and I come back to see a arguement going on. First of all with a thread titled "The best writers" referring to the best writers on this site, that's US, it's going to have some problems. It's not some vote where you have 3rd parties deciding, it's US deciding out of all our little group which is the best. People will be offended by not getting picked, arguements WILL START.
With that said I think the whole Alan thing is getting ridiculous. This is a forum I personally want don't to know about your finacial situation or you getting jumped when you were younger. I don't know how it has to do with having a huge ego or being the best series writer. It's not my place on how you should deal with your life, because I don't know you. I would say get a job, toughen up, other people here have troubles too, but like I said I don't know you.
Something tells me (i'm sorry if I'm imagining your crisis as a 'joke') that you're kidding around. I've seen some of your posts and you have a very sardonic and ironic sense of humor that doesn't transfer well into text. If you were joking you just got people angrier. I used to have that and a lot of relationships with friends and girlfriends have met a bitter end by the hands of AIM.
I can see how everybody else here is appalled by some of Alan's statements. Breanne I aplaud your courage for standing up against him, I really do. ANd your not the only (i'm sorry for picking you out, somebody else would've started this if not you) But come on you guys, we saw his final comment. I think 9 out of 10 people would think it's a ridiculous thing to say on a forum. But will it effect you. Will his bitterness effect your writing or your day. Let's all cool our guns down. If Alan does have such a huge ego he won't give in to what you say. If he's joking it's a crappy joke, but I'm not hurt. This is a writing forum. You have your opinions others have different ones. But this is going around in a circle you guys. Nothing will get resolved. I'm sorry to say. Alan's sitting at a computer so are you. You can always just ignore a post and move on with your day. Now if it was a critique of somebodys work I would say an angry thread is in order....
Peace out. PS Alan if you are defending yourself I wouldn't. It's hard to explain yourself to strangers on forums. Regardless of the reason. You don't know others, so you may offend somebody else in the process.
I have been very annoyed with Alan. Seeing as if he cannot keep his mouth shut about anything. I've been on this site for a year, but just got an account. I've seen everything he has done, and frankly it pisses me off.
A lot of people were grateful to him and reviewed his script banana chan. A lot of people helped him in a petition to try and get his show on T.V. Now he pulls this shit and just gives everyone a big "F U" to pretty much everyone.
I'm not sure if any of you care what I'm saying because of my age, but darn, this guy has such a big ego that it pretty much leaks from my monitor. Alan, if you are reading this I hope you and your family make it through this hard time.
But please, just stop blaming all your faults on things that happened in your childhood, when really that isn't the case. I think we should all look at what has been going on lately and realize that he might just be wanting attention. Or maybe he just wants people to check out his script since that is his life's work.
Breanne and Phil... You two are totally right. Little Darling... Wow... I loved that, and it is so true. How does he get away with these things anyway? It totally bugs me.
Wow, i stop making frequent visits and the fourms disergrate into total anarchy. But never fear, for the prodigal son has returned. and all who belive in me shall have a cookie.
I don't speak Polish, but "Buska" is Finish for S**T.
