Today [November 05 2007] an unofficial foundation was started on the thread titled Season 2 Ending Early? (Urgent!)-Writers Strike! It's called "1000 Cranes For Heroes," and our goal is to fold 1000 cranes altogether and send them to the WGA.

This is NOT to attempt to bring back the full length season. Instead, this is about supporting our writers and showing the WGA and the writers how important this show is to us.

Please send your cranes to this address:

Writers Guild of America-West
7000 West Third Street
Los Angeles, CA 90048

WHEN SENDING IN YOUR CRANES, USE THIS LETTER: Form Letter

You can also send in a personal letter, but please make sure this letter is in there.


Those who would like to participate, please post here. You will be added to the list. I am going to use it to count how many cranes people have done, and who has done what for this project. DO NOT SIGN UP UNLESS YOU INTEND TO HELP! Thank you! Everyone can do something to help. While our goal is to fold cranes, you can also write letters and send them to the above address. You can also help spread this news around. Or you can help make avatars and signatures and banners for the cause [go here].

FAQS

What are you guys doing?


Ok, so here's our basic goal. Everyone who joins is going to be folding as many cranes as they would like, then putting in the form letter linked to above along with a personal letter (not voluntary) and sending it to the writers. Simple as that!

Are they going to be sent separately or together?

It was decided that it would be better if they were sent separately by everyone.

What if I suck at folding cranes?

Everyone sucks at everything when they start off. Try your hardest, and if they don't come out perfect, don't sweat it! IT'S THE EFFORT THAT COUNTS.

I don't have time to fold cranes, but I would like to help. What can I do?

- Post on any other forums? Use one of the signatures made here to show off our campaign. Tell your friends and family! Pass the word along!
- Heard any good information? Post it here. It can be helpful to us!
- Know how to do graphics? We are in desperate need of graphics, so if you now how to work that Photoshop, you are NEEDED!

Hahaha, I can definitely do more. I just thought it would be nice if they received cranes from a variety of people rather than like... 100 from ten people only. But yes, let me know how many you guys need and I will try to help out. smile.gif

thanks Jen >.<



My pleasure. I want to do something about this. I have enthusiasm and love for the fandom. I also love the writers even if I don't know much about them. I've toyed with the idea of being a writer for TV for years, too, so I feel this stronger need of going out there. And I plan to find way to strike with them when I can at least for one time. Did you hear that there was a striker hit at the Sunset Gower studio? ohmy.gif

Thank you much BG!



Ok, so, I'm going to be starting the letter today. I'll post it here so everyone can say what they like and what they don't like.
What I want to do is make a generic letter perhaps. People can copy and paste it and print it. I would also like to get a "seal," type thing so they can see that we are a part of an organization, not a random group of fans. That will make us more extreme.

I'll need to come back here or wherever the instructions are posted so I can print them out when I get home. I have a tonne of paper around the house that isn't getting used.

Put me down! I am not a person to do creans, but I can certainly spread the word:

http://heroesfirst.blogspot.com/2007/11/10...for-heroes.html


Hope the reposting helps...I also posted this on the nbc-heroes group on Yahoo!

I have been trying to find the banners for this..can you link me to them?

At one point they took that of the table. They just wanted to get paid for the media stuff. So...if you want to cover that for the rest of us, well..that would be really nice.
