[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I think asking people to donate and then send you the receipt, just like Sars did for the TN contest, is a perfectly acceptable way of doing things. No matter how much you donate, it's that you donate that matters.
An eBay auction would be kind of prohibitive in a way because, say, if someone were jonesin' for a particular script and someone jumped in with a hundred-dollar mark on it, they would be dissuaded from donating at all. (Of course, the flipside is would someone have put a hundred bucks down if they would have had the same chance of winning the script by putting ten bucks down.)

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
Would anyone have an issue with me signing the letter:
Allyson Beatrice Buffistas.org
?????
I mean, if it's something we have to vote on, I'll take it away, I just sort of don't know how else to describe me as being fandom's bitch.

Trust my rage
if it's something we have to vote on,
Won't we have to vote to determine whether we need to vote?

Perhaps "Allyson Beatrice, member of Buffistas.org", so it's clear you're not speaking for the board as a whole?

I think this would work (without requiring any voting).

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
On the day of the Star Trek strike event thingy organised by StarTrek.com, CBS fired the StarTrek.com development team.
Although it's kinda unrelated, as they've binned half their new media staff at least.

I got this, editor-shaped people...help?
Dear Writers and Actors,
I’m writing to ask for your help with a fundraiser to benefit Below the Line crew affected by the strike. The Work Stoppage Relief Fund has been established to assist entertainment industry members who are facing financial hardship resulting from the current work stoppage.
I’m asking writers to autograph any scripts they can spare, so that I can give them away as prizes to fans donating to the fund.
Fans can forward me copies of their receipts, and I’ll put their names in to a drawing to win the scripts you donate.
The holiday season is going to be pretty tough for the BTL crew members who are suffering as collateral members of the strike. Both fans and writers have an opportunity to show the Below the Line crew that they are so very important to all of us; without them, all we have is words on a page.
The carpenters, costumers, painters, set designers, makeup artists, et. al. are the skilled artisans who bring your words on the page to life on the screen.
Please consider donating a script to this fundraiser so that we can help ensure a happy holiday season for those BTL, and to thank them for standing with the writers in solidarity.
Scripts can be mailed to me at:
My address
Where I live
In LA
Yours,
Allyson Beatrice
