Here's one area where "unions" actually don't suck. I know that some of our local pelicans think they are useless and should be abolished, but they at least provide some ability for creative types to protect ideas.

You don't need to "hook up" with anyone. You send in $20 bucks and a sealed copy of your manuscript. You get a receipt and protection for five years. It's comparable to sending your work registered mail to yourself.
"One area where unions actually don't suck." Animation isn't covered by WGA, so it's a moot point whether they suck or not as a union.
