And now, without further ado, a song by the talented writer, Amanda M. Hayes:
THE SPEC WRITER SONG
(With all due apologies to Monty Python and their lumberjack.)
WRITER:
I'm a spec writer, and I'm okay;
I write all night and I sleep all day.
EDITORS:
She's a spec writer, and she's okay;
She writes all night and she sleeps all day.
WRITER:
I check my mail, I write through lunch,
I go to the lavatory.
I review my rejections,
And burn those from MZB.
EDITORS:
She checks her mail, she writes through lunch,
She goes to to the lavatory.
She reviews her rejections
And burns those from MZB.
She's a spec writer, and she's okay.
She writes all night and she sleeps all day.
WRITER:
I write of a sweet princess fair
Who travels through deep space
'Til she meets up with a werewolf
And he bites off her face.
EDITORS:
She writes of a sweet princess fair
Who travels through deep space...?
'Til she meets up with a werewolf
And he bites off her face?!
She's a spec writer, and she's okay.
She writes all night and she sleeps all day.
WRITER:
I write fanfic about Star Trek!
Delicious Spock/Kirk slash!
But paying 'zines won't buy it,
So they can kiss my--ahem.
WRITER AND EDITORS:
I (She) write(s) fanfic about Star Trek,
Delicious... Spock/Kirk slash?!?
WRITER:
But paying 'zines won't buy it,
So they can kiss my ash!
(Note: No actual MZB rejection slips were harmed in the making of this filk.)
