Update from the James Marsters forum...

* Quick Postcard Campaign to Save Angel

Unfortunately, emailing networks or posting in online petitions is a waste of time. As soon as they start getting emails, they set up spam filters to delete the mail and they don't ever see what comes in. Waiting around for somebody to organize something is wasting precious time--organized campaigns are going to be great but here's something you can do NOW.

If you want to actually do something that actually might--MIGHT--help to get another season for Angel...

DO THIS TOMORROW

1. Go and buy some postcards that show scenes from your city. Tourist postcards. Postcards that have the name of your town or city or area of the country on them. You don't need anything fancy, just something that will show immediately where you are located so they know this is coming from all over.

2. Write a short message on the postcard in your own words saying that you want Angel to be renewed and support the show. Keep it positive. Don't be insulting. Don't be abusive.

3. Address the postcard to one of the people on the list of addresses in this message. Levin may ignore the cards coming into the WB, but the media outlets will see there's a story in this and publicize it. The names on the list are in order of importance so start at the top and send as many postcards as you want to (or can afford to send).

4. Go and get at least six friends who probably aren't reading this on the internet but would be willing to send postcards, and get them to do the same thing.

5. DO IT TOMORROW! Speed of response is what counts along with the size of the response. Don't wait for instructions from some group. Just DO IT.

Here are the addresses to mail your cards to:

Matt Roush
TV Guide
Box 500
Radnor, PA 19088-0500

The Hollywood Reporter
Attn: Cynthia Littleton
5055 Wilshire Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036-4396

Extra

TNT is the best possibility to pick up Angel since they've gotten good ratings with the reruns and do some original programming.

Turner Network Television
Attn: Robert DeBitetto (pres, original programming)
1888 Century Park East, 14th Fl.
Los Angeles, CA 90067

Turner Network Television

1050 Techwood Dr. NW
Atlanta, GA 30318

Turner Network Television
Attn: Garth Ancier, Executive Vice-President, Programming
1050 Techwood Dr. NW
Atlanta, GA 30318

Rumor is that Levin doesn't accept cards or letters and they get returned, but a flood of mail might make news even if it doesn't get through

Warner Brothers Network
Attn: Jordan Levin, CEO
4000 Warner Blvd., Building 34R
Burbank, CA 91522
(818) 977-5000

And, if you want to send cards to Joss to express support and let him know the level of interest, here's where to send them:

Joss Whedon
C/o Mutant Enemy Productions
PO Box 900
Beverly Hills, CA 90213

And to send cards supporting the cast and crew:

Angel Productions
20th Century Fox
PO Box, 900
Beverly Hills
CA, 90213-0900

Now, if you actually want to accomplish something, make some news, and maybe, just maybe, get a sixth season for Angel...

DO THIS TOMORROW AND DON'T PUT IT OFF!
 
lol you and me posted this at almost the exact same time. Anyway I'm gonna try and send letters to TV Guide and TNT. I'm almost certain David would sign a new contract if he was offerd. He has said himself many times that he feels he has a responsability to the fans. He would probably want to give Angel a proper send off too.
 
Woah, great idea. Definitely doing this. C'mon everybody! *gets out pom-poms and tries to inspire*
 
Its a bit of a problem for people from the UK, or over non-american places. Ill check into the cost and maybe send a few.

-edit-

For anyone wondering, from the UK:

Airmail: Withing Five days- 68p
Airsure: Next flight out- £4.68
Signed For: First available flight- £3.98
Surface: Up to Eight Weeks- 37p

So surface is not recommended. If you do get friends to do it send them in one letter as it'll cost the same as an individual post card.
 
This is just a minor thing, but I just thought I'd let you all know that the James Marsters message....while it contains great and USEFUL advice, may not have come from James Marsters.

BUFFY.NU got the message off of a Yahoo Group called the_stakehouse....

From: Jeffrey Malbisse
To: the_stakehouse@yahoogroups.com
Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2004 9:51 PM
Subject: Joss's StakeHouse: Something you can do TOMORROW to help save Angel.

.....and then it goes on to the message you see at the top of this thread.

I have no idea why BUFFY.NU has given the impression that this came from James himself. Maybe it did, maybe it didn't....just thought I'd post it anyway.

But like I said....the advice given is sound and useful...whoever it came from.
