Joss Whedon

Dear Sarah,

Could you send this out in a mass email to the other showrunners?

There’s a site out there called Fans4Writers.com that was put together by — you guessed it — fans. It’s a really great place for fans to go to find information about the strike and how they can help to support the WGA in our cause. They’re already started doing things like creating their own postcards for fans to download and send to the studios, and of course, they are participating in the Pencils campaign instituted by the Guild. Everything’s all set-up, they just need more fans to actually go there and participate. Once they’re there, they can participate in bigger actions like potentially demonstrating at individual TV stations across the country (something under discussion on the site right now).

Something we can do as showrunners is to go to our own boards and tell our fans to go to this site for information on what they can do to support us. We can also go to the forum they’ve set up and post messages in the threads they’ve created for our individual shows.

Having us there, even only sporadically, will help drive traffic to their site and bring more of our fans to a place where they can help support the strike as we enter the next round of negotiations.

Please take a minute to check out www.Fans4Writers.com and consider posting a message to your fans, we think it’s worth the effort.

Thank you,

Joss Whedon & Ronald D. Moore
