Well, I asked for it, looks like I'm getting it. A real live contract to write an indie script that is, I'm told, on track toward real live funding. Not sure I believe it yet, but if a real live check arrives and I don't wake up, I'll consider it possible, so long as the check isn't made of real live rubber. 
I have the WGA short form to use as a template. What are the major points as far as what to expect in terms of:
1. Credit
2. Writing fees (what % of the budget is customary?)
3. When are fees typically received?
4. Other
Basically, what consititutes a "good deal" vs. a "bad deal" and how do I emerge with a good one? Subjective, I know, but I'm interested in advice, stories of bad deals past, what have you. . .it's all good.
Thanks so much for all your help!
