"How can I do that?"
"Let me handle everything related to the crew as an assistant producer. I'll hire the crew, deal with the red tape, and direct and edit the show. In return, I get twenty-five-percent of the net income from the project."
"No salary, just like me. I remain the producer, and I have full control over the final cut," I replied. "Pay for the staff?"
"Director's Guild scale during the shoot, taken out of my percentage at the end," Linda replied. "I have confidence this is a winner, so I'd rather have the shot of a big payoff. The staff gets paid union scale, and your security people will have to get their union cards and enter the apprentice program for camera operators. We don't want labor issues."
It was so much I hadn't considered. "Let me run it past my lawyer and accountant, and I'll let you know tonight," I said. She handed me a proposal which included the people she wanted, and the costs, for both land and sea portions of the filming.
"I think this could make us both rich," she said. "Let's go enjoy the ride. It's a pity having a boat like this and not enjoying it." She was right; we were nearly out of San Diego Bay when we got up to the flying bridge. It was a lively conversation, as we talked about what things we could get on film and turn into a good show.
After we docked and hooked up to power, water, and sewer, we shifted to what the yacht would need. Thomas brought us down to the salon to talk about modifications. "The list you sent out would have fifteen people on board for a week to two weeks at a time. Linda tells me that twenty is a more realistic number." Damn. That was a LOT. "You four of were going to share the master stateroom. Three boat crew plus one in the forward stateroom, and two each in the other two staterooms, means you still need bunks for eight elsewhere."
"What do you suggest?"
"A little remodeling. Three of your staterooms have queen beds; remove them, and put two sets of bunks in. Now you have room for sixteen in the four staterooms, all of which have bathrooms and showers attached. That leaves four spots elsewhere." He pointed at the rear corner of the salon, across from the television. "Two of these chairs fold out into sleepers. Replace the couch with two more, and install a curtain around the area to keep the light down."
It made sense. "What happens when we finish filming?"
"Keep the beds in storage, then hire people to change it back. Eventually, you'll want a purpose-built boat, but I understand you're trying to kill two birds with one stone here."
I felt a lot better as they left, but I needed to meet with my legal and financial people, and I wanted Leo to sit in the meeting by phone as an adviser. In the end, we agreed it was the best path forward.
Sharkbait Productions, Inc. formed the next day, and its first employee was Linda Cartwright. I also solicited bids for a ship's crew from Patricia McNeil.
Things had to move fast because we were starting filming in just over a month.

Malice219 months agoIt’s very telling when I’m jarred by a sex scene in a literotica story. It lends merit to how wonderful of a story you’re telling. Like “oh yeah… that’s allowed here.” Thank you for sharing this with us, it’s amazing, relatable, humorous, and engaging. It shares a message w/o being preachy and it’s a great ride to come along with!
Anonymousover 2 years agoI think it is to be expected, that her second-chance mate will not appear very soon after the first rejectio. It is still less than a year since, after all.
Anonymousover 3 years agoLike that's a good title for this website's comments :)
But I've got a feeling and hope that it's right, that this is a story that will lead to several spin-offs. Looking forward to the next installment.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoThis has evolved into a very different and quite interesting story.
Great work.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoGreat story as always, but when will she find her mate? I’m loving the character development, but I do miss the romance. I just hope that when we do get there that it’s not just a brief snippet.
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoKEEP IT GOING PLEASE IT IS SUCH A PLEASURE TO READ I AM ABSOLUTELY ENTHRALLED!
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoAs a reader I’m pretty much in awe over here, the story just keeps getting better and better! It’s easy to empathise with the characters, the plot has a natural progression to it which tbh might seem odd given that we’re talking about werewolves. Everything that’s happened is plausible we’re living in the 21st century, instafame happens. When events give you the perfect storm, essentially of life being fuelled by mobile phones etc add in the internet and it all happens organically.
I love the new additions to the team and now I’m hoping the Security Chief finds someone to make her happy. The Council & Alpha Hearing was priceless in that kind of male dominated society they’re still a couple of centuries behind the rest of the world, they see females and automatically think submissive and stupid. I was expecting to hear the tag line of “if I’d been born a male then this hearing would be a non issue”. It was all handled really well.
I love your sense of humour too, breakfast at the Bellagio... “ We rolled through that thing like Patton through Sicily”. After reading the other comments it’s reassuring to discover that I’m not the only one who’s like a kid at Christmas on discovery of a new instalment!
Thank you so very very much for sharing your imagination with us.
Tess (UK) another 5 obvs 😎
Anonymousalmost 4 years agoWell PW you packed a lot of things and information into this posting. I liked the way Sharkbait stood up to the Council and the other Alphas, she is a force of nature for sure. Once again you have moved the story along and kept at least me interested and looking forward to your next post. Keep up the good work and thank you.

Anonymousalmost 4 years agoDefinitely never imagined this story when reading the 'Unca Leo' story. Look forward to new chapters. Keep up the good work.
Slofredalmost 4 years agoSo like it or not she now will have her own little mixed Sub Pack. I like the idea. I am now waiting for the Pie-rats to show up. Love this story keep it coming. 5 Stars as usual.
