Allyson, I trust your integrity and support anything you do. Just tell me where to send the money/letter/pencil(kidding!).
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

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
P-C, I hope I get ANY scripts. Composing blog post now, hoping it gets picked up on Whedonesque and points beyond.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Will this be partially an effort to put out there a positive fan campaign that indicates that the writers (who are presumably donating scripts) are supporting the crew as well? In that case, I would suggest a title that included both the writers & the fans. I know that, of course, it is not a writer-run effort, so the title shouldn't indicate that, but if it's possible to let this be a visible mechanism of support from both them and us, that would be a good thing, wouldn't it?
Or is the intent just for us to do something nice for the crew folks who are in a pinch right now, in our support of the strike?

I posted my plea for donations to the fund, or for writers to send me scripts to raffle off to donors.
I hope it all goes well.
Liese, I think, for my own selfish motives, it makes me feel really good to be able to help out some working folks who are totally fucked right now.
I think, if it takes off, it does help the writers in a PR way, while allowing them to do something helpful to the crews they work with.
Editing people, if my post is confusing, would you help?

It sounds great, Allyson.

Nicely done, Allyson.
And gotcha. I'm pretty much right there with you with how you're feeling, so more power to you.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well played, Ms. Beatrice, well played. Did you suggest CFerg lean on people? He might be able to prod to action, and if tells John Rogers that he knows you it might grease that very wheel.

I never got his email addie. I haven't got any writer responses, which make me nervous.
