alanajoliSo, I've already talked about the pencil drive for fans to support the writers. (That's ongoing, and the first delivery is up on YouTube. Pretty darn funny.) I also mentioned yesterday the MoveOn online petition. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
flamesrising logically noted that online petitions are easier to ignore than actual letters. The pencils are a gimmick that may or may not work. So he recommended actually having addresses available for people to write letters.
Quite happily, the WGA East have provided all of the addresses for studio heads on their Web site. So the information is out there.
In other news, Harry Sloan of MGM mentioned the strike while talking about Peter Jackson agreeing to take on making The Hobbit. He says, "As far as The Hobbit, yes, it’s going to have an affect because we need the strike to get settled. We’ve got Peter Jackson, which is the biggest point here, but now Peter and the other writers who will be involved can’t write. So we’ve got to get this strike settled."
Ideally, Mr. Sloan realizes that getting the strike settled requires actual cooperation and compromise, rather than bull dozing and stalling tactics. We'll see.
