Do you mean you have news of the talks breaking down? Or you will soon have breaking news?

there’s nothing better than reading ‘coming soon’ regarding an important story on this site. Nikki, you are a major footnote in the story of this strike and will always be part of the story folks tell when reflecting on the 2007 WGA strike, but can you please give us an ETA or something rather than ‘coming soon’? Writers are nervous enough creatures as it is.

I am betting that the headline will be the following:
Bryan Lourd to hold AMPTP, Writers hostage until deal is reached.

This is so wonderfully alarmist. How big of a fire? I’m scared.

And the definition of “soon” is what exactly? These teases do not exactly manage our expectations time-wise. But I still love you Nikki…

Talks “Breaking News” or “Breaking Talks” News?

GNAAAGRPH!!
These “in another post” things are worse than the pauses before announcing winners in reality TV (Oh Nikki, come to think of it, strangely appropriate).

Great.. now I have to try to interpret that bell icon. Does it mean “ding ding!” like in boxing? Was it a knockout? Or just the end of a round?
Or maybe it’s an alarm going off– a fire alarm! Maybe Nikki’s trying to tell us that talks are off and everyone has left the building. Hmm.
Of course it could be a telephone bell ringing… signifying talks have progressed, higher-ups are being called… the strike is ending soon…
Unless it’s not a bell at all. I mean… it sort of looks like a large-eyed robotic monster. I’m not sure what that would suggest.
Please Nikki- stop doing this to us!!

Yet another teaser…what is the point of these beyond annoying readers?
Is it really so hard to just wait until there’s something to post?

Is it possible to go from “stalemate” to “fair deal” in one blog post?

Okay, well, can you at least tell us if it’s good news or bad news? Please?!

Everyone, brace yourselves. Do you really think this could be good news? Doubtful. Buy some new tennis shoes. We’re gonna be walking for a while.
