Nov 07, 2007 11:45

You would think that when I travel all the way from Australia to teh US to go on a holiday, I'd just relax and have fun, right? Um... well, see... while I was in LA, the Writers Guild of America went on strike. And I kinda volunteered to help out the fandom support campaign. And boy, has it steamrolled ( Read more... )

Awesome! If there's anything I can do to help! Let me know!

Awesome! I love that both my fandoms (Whedon and Supernatural) are being so supportive of the strike. *hugs you for being an awesome browncoat*

I'll be sure to check the website. I don't really have much money to spare right now, but I'd sure like to show my support.

Is there anywhere I could send postcards to show the networks we support the writers? Do you think that would help?

We'll have details of write-in campaigns up soon. There will be something for everyone. :D

In the meantime, please spread the message wide and far. The more fandoms we can contact, the more impact we can have. Feel free to use the text in my post, or link people to this post.

Hey Jen. Hope you're having fun. I've copied this onto Soz as people have been asking what the fans can do to help.

Thanks PW. If you are in any other fandoms, please spread the word. :D

You are made of awesome. If there's anything I can do in the way of web/graphic design or similar I'll be glad to help. I'll spread the word and make a post in my lj about this.

Thanks! Our main goal at this point (aside from continuing the "Food for Thought" runs) is to get other fandoms involved.

If you know of any movers and shakers in film or television fandoms, please tell them about what we're doing, and invite them to contact us at fans4writers@gmail.com

The more fandoms and people we have involved in a consistent and co-ordinated campaign, the more effective we can be.
