basically buying what was already there, as opposed to becoming
involved with the creative process of influencing a new series.

Will do. One thing has already hit; as word got out Friday, one
of the networks called and asked me to write a non-SF TV movie for them
to shoot late summer/fall, with a name star. I said sure, so that's
now in process. Can't talk much about it for now, though.

Those matters can never be addressed contractually before the
start of a project. They only come up in the process of making a show.
