[QUOTE="Scribble, post: 4724085, member: 23977"] The burdon of lore I'm talking about in so far as writers are concerned is the lore contradicts a story they want to tell, so they can't tell it, or they have to heavily modify it to make it fit. Inspired to do your job, and "doing your job" are two different things. It's possible to still meet your demanded work output without being inspired, but that's all you're doing. Just meeting your deadlines with something that meets the criteria. Inspiration helps you meet those deadlines with material that goes above and beyond what would otherwise "meet expected criteria." Sure, Heath ledger could have just played a part as "the joker." He could have just done the lines, and moved on, but instead he was inspired to add somethign to the role. He went above and beyond and consequently helped the film do the same. And I feel somewhat bad for you if your employer is that hard nosed that they never accept any employee input. My company is going through some changes right now, partially inspired by customer demand, but a whole lot of it was inspired by employee thoughts and opinions on what will help us do our jobs more effectively and less stressfully. The very fact that someone else's milleage might vary, pretty much invalidates this statement. There's a whole lotta stuff out there for FR. Just because YOU didn't care about it doesn't mean it didn't matter to others. (Or effect what could and couldn't be done in the realms as they stood.) If there are enough of you it might happen. Which I'd be cool with too. New stories. [/QUOTE]
