Cybersix back in my life

I spent about 10 hours in June on Cybersix! I was asked to do a voiceover with commentary re-watch of my #cybersix episode “Terra” for the upcoming blu-ray edition. The show was done about 25 years ago. So difficult to know what to say after that long! I honestly did not keep every scrap of paper on its evolution as a script, but I did locate and read my final (5th draft) script for the episode. I was able to note certain additions the director, storyboard and animation team added, as I compared final script with final cut of show.

I told my anecdotes about it, too. I won’t spoil those here by retelling- I hope the blu-ray Cybersix is successful! Thanks for the memories!

Tall Tale of A Wonderful Moment

In the midst of a crazy-busy life, sometimes I do get some absolutely amazing experiences. As a tv writer there is no visible recognition- I mean no one pouring me coffee says “weren’t you that girl on that show?” But at VCON a couple of weeks ago, I had a terrific moment of recognition.
Child in her pirate gear and I were in the elevator at the hotel. She says to me: “Mum, that’s Cybersix!” I say: “Nah” without looking carefully. The girl, Rebecca, says : “Yes, I am Cybersix!”
I’m gob-smacked – she’s a gorgeous, perfect Cybersix! I tell her and her friends that I wrote an episode of the anime version. Not only do they know the cartoon but one of them loves my episode!
I’m high on this for at least a week – it’s gotten me through an 18 hour day on corporate job and still makes me smile. Cause even if I had a nonunion deal, which means no cash residuals ever, I did get a lovely emotional residual & on front of child, too!
Here’s a picture – btw no one is wearing heels!
