I want to stress the need to have people on your side when negotiating any deal. Ryanne and I also had Morty and Colette help us negotiate our deal. this helped us make sure we retained all the rights to our work. I know Morty has been talking with different places that are licensing content. if anyone wants to email Morty....just ping me offlist.
