* 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:

through

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!
--unquote--
It so happens I'll be going into Amsterdam with a bunch of Angel fans
tomorrow, so we'll be writing a whole lot of postcards! And a letter to
Joss, telling him how much he and the show has meant to us.

Sorry, after some investigation this doesn't actually appear to be coming
from JM, but from someone on the Bronze Beta, who doesn't mention his
source. It still seems like a good idea though.

Was the 'some investigation' waking up?
Fallen.
