Happy Economy Tales: Fans Fuel 'The Guild'
Courtesy The Guild
Actress Felicia Day got bored of waiting for the phone to ring so she decided to write a Webisode.
The resulting creation, The Guild, has gone through some rough spots. At one point she ran out of money. But her fans loved the show so much, they sent her money through PayPal to pay for the cameras.
Now, she's gotten more offers than she can handle to turn the online sensation into a network TV show. But she's not willing to give up rights to her idea. So the show goes on ... online. She talks to Alex Cohen about why she agreed to a deal with Microsoft and how she turned her dream into reality.
