I hope that Julian has learned to let go. Worrying about things you can't change in the past is not a healthy state to be in. I think that most would say that $20k for a poem in the end credits is a fair deal and you were not taken advantage of. You accepted the deal it by taking the money. Not signing a contract is moot. Be happy that your work will live on.

I love this comment and and am in total agreement. I hope he can use this post as way to clear the air and let it go. I think the 20K was totally fair for the effort put in, but I do sympathize with being so close to a veritable fortune!! It must be so hard see it and not be jealous on some level. It's like having all but 1 of the winning lottery numbers (I realize that you would still get something nice in most lotteries for that). To be so close yet so far is a true test of letting go. Think Pete Best or Ronald Wayne. SO HARD. The thing to realize, which, of course, sounds like sour grapes, is that having all that money is just picking a different set of problems and worries. No one gets to "have it all" in the sense of living in the world with no problems/fears/misery.
