my dayjob
🕑 Added 2018-10-30 18:21:01 +0000 UTC Yup, there it is.so yeah i've been freaking myself out for possibly no reason but hopefully you can understand why i've been dealing with imposter syndrome now, but this job is great and i need to get over this anxiety i have about it, and maybe that includes just talking about it more openly
I'll try to answer your questions about this, but please understand that I like having a job and there will be some I will be unable to answer because of NDAs and legal stuff, but:
- No, we haven't met Steve yet. He was scheduled to come visit us one day but had to cancel, we were all very sad.
- The show looks great, we are all huge Animaniacs fans and are doing our best to remain loyal and true to the show, while updating it for contemporary audiences.
- I've met two of the voice actors and they are some of the nicest, humblest people on the planet. WHO they are has NOT been announced yet, so I cannot elaborate any further. They took the initiative to come visit us, the artists (which is very unusual for voice actors to do), and told us what a great job we do and how thrilled they are to be on the show. They are seriously such good people.

aaaaaAAHHHHH HOLY CANOLI YOU GO MEG!!
Imposter syndrome? I can understand the stress and why someone would be feeling out of place and like they don't belong but this is you we're talking about! You must realized that to us, you are an amazing artist, story teller and an incredibly hard worker and this is why we love DOTL so much. We fans wouldn't all love it if you weren't incredible at what you do. You are definitely good enough for this job. DOTL is a better story than most fiction I personally come across. I never liked to read or watch television as a kid because I rarely came across what I though were good stories or writing. Now I have been able to sift through the dirt and find some beautiful gems and I love YOUR story. No exaggerations were made in this comment.

Super cool! :D

Your day job is amazing. I bet you're really good at it. Hope the imposter syndrome wears off and you can enjoy being in this really cool position.
Lorien Inksong
Wow that's your day-job?! So cool, didn't know a reboot was coming but my wife and I will look for it. Best of luck and really glad you've decided to take a break from DotL. It sounds like you were juggling way way too much.
Owen Smith
Hahaha! Completely understand why you were stressing, but also, congrats, that is most excellent. Very cool!
Yohannon
HOLY CARP! This is amazing news! (My wife is a VO actor, and knows many of the original voice talent -- I joke that she's maintaining my cool factor, she reminds me I spent an afternoon with Cheap Trick (yeah, the whole band #humbleBrag) at Apple Computer in a very small engineers office for over an hour. (Yeah, it WAS really weird!). CONGRATS!

eHugs, Meg!

I can understand why you are freaking out, but you will do great Meg, though my brain keeps wanting to call you Cheeko

What is it with you artistic types? How can you have imposter syndrome when you create a comic as good as DotL? The question you should be asking is, why isn't this Spielberg person making the DotL movie? Don't make me come over there.
That is so awesome! I know you will be amazing and I'm so excited for you!
Mary Williams
YOU WILL BE AWESOME!! I know this because you already ARE! CONGRATS on such a fun reboot!!! AaaaannnniMAAAAAniacs! I gotta ask you, though, do you have the song stuck in your head forever now? Because I totally would! It's sooooo infectious!
Michael Brewer
I didn't know they were rebooting it either. Very cool! I hope it all goes well!
Jim Sharkey
That's terribly cool. Congrats on getting such a cool gig!
Zwei
Yo that's super rad. I didn't even know they were rebooting it.

*reads it* *blinks* *reads it again* *faints*
Meg Syv
YES, and I had to NOT SAY ANYTHING, it was so hard.
Robert
HAHA! When you announced you had the job there I had joked in a comment that you had to convince Spielberg to bring back Animaniacs! This is awesome!
Royce Day
Holy Moses! Congratulations, Meg!! Let us know who the voice actors are when you can. I'm betting at least a couple of them are known to my friend Jim, who has a lot of VA contacts from his job running Otakon.
That is SO COOL!!! Try not to let imposter syndrome get you down! I know it’s hard. But please don’t worry about taking a break!!
