The pencil thing is so stupid, I am stupider for having watched the video of Joss Whedon dumping pencils into a crate.

[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!
The creators of your favorite television shows and films, represented by the Writers Guild of America, need your support in their strike against Big Media -- the six companies that control almost all of what you see, most of what you hear, much of what you read.
Use the tool below and take a moment to write to the CEO's and executives in charge of your favorite show.

I was puzzled by the exclusion of Dexter on the list (Weeds is on there), but hey.

What, you weren't moved to tears by the video, Allyson?
You didn't grab your nearest pencil, stand up and declare in front of your co-workers that you have been inspired to greatness by such a gloriously symbolic display of fan unity?
Sure, it doesn't appear to have gone anywhere, but hey! Lots of pencils! Erm... yeah. That's all I got.

For some of those show, can I mention that what they really need is better writers?

Aw, man, the Office Fans Christmas Fund fell through. Goddamn legal reasons. Well, I guess the Actor's Fund gets more money from me instead.

I don't understand why they can't divvy it all up into amex gift certificates and mail them to the crew.

I don't know what the issue is either.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
All it needs is one person to cry 'Fraud' in any way, shape or form and it'd all kick off.
The studios didn't accept the pencils (surprised, you are not), so they loaded them back on to the trucks. That's direct action for wimps, man!

I feel like the Charlie Brown of fandom.
