[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Awesome, Allyson. Thanks for taking care of it.
Someone else has posted in the comm, saying their source wanted it to be "passed on to as many forums as possible." We'll see how long it stays up.

That's awesome, Allyson. I forgot to mention that I was talking to the two women who man the sign in table at Fox about the fan picket this Friday. One of the women said that her favorite fans are the Buffistas. She loved the gift bag and still has it sitting in her house.
In related news, tomorrow is "Bring Your Dog Day" on the picket lines. This should be interesting.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
There's a fan picket this Friday? Does that mean the fans come to help picket?

I got it via email from a mysterious famous writer person who is not Tim.
But I can't speak, re: dentist and many, many shots.

There's a fan picket this Friday? Does that mean the fans come to help picket?
Yep!
Fans of Joss Whedon's TV shows and films (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) will picket at the Fox Pico Gate from 10:00am until 2:00pm on Friday, December 7th. Joss will be there with writers and actors from his shows.
It looks like it's going to be 200 fans plus writers and actors.

Call to action! Support the writers!
It's just an e-mail! Who knows where it came from??

Yep. From what I've heard, fans are welcome to picket whenever, really, but there are some more organized days.

Updates regarding negotiations:
The TV industry braced Tuesday for what could become a long strike by writers, even as both sides returned to the bargaining table.
Leslie Moonves, chief executive officer of CBS Corp., told an investor conference in New York that he was hopeful, but "not terribly optimistic."
The two sides conceded there was likely to be ratings shortfalls if the five-week strike dragged on, Moonves said. Programming costs would fall as well, resulting in no significant financial impact to the network in the short to medium term, Moonves said.
Bargaining resumed in Los Angeles after a four-day recess, with a relatively scant $21 million separating contract proposals by studios and striking Hollywood writers.
