Hello Kittens-

I'd just like to say Thank You to WW and HIP. Postcards away!

Now isn't THAT a silly action/adventure line.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. To be honest I'm not the type to sit through all your numbers - I just can handle the main one - but am very impressed nonetheless. I do always get a happy grin however as you state every now and then to 'get a writing' - and I always try to. Just thanks for keeping on top of things - and being like all knowledge guy and all.

Yes, HIP is a tireless crusader!

For Chicago and area kittens.

Fox bought the UPN station here in Chicago. That gives Fox two stations. No mention as to what Fox plans to do with Channel 50, but Chicago is the third largest Nielsen Market.

Chances are it will stay UPN.

Plus, use all the UPN feedbacks, regardless of where you are.

Can't find one for the Chicago station.

So taking a page from other people's campaign books, here is an idea.

How about making specialized post cards to send.

I have no artistic ability whatsoever, but here is my contribution to the cause.

I put this on every piece of mail that goes out to Fox/ME/UPN that goes out.

These are some favs of mine, from NinjitsuGirl (I hope she does not mind the link).

hometown.aol.com/zenobiaxf/tarabuttons.html

Here are some of the ones that the DA fans have done.

adinfinit.net/danation/postcards.html

And the *ahem* FF ones.

www.fireflysupport.com/banners.html

So, anyone interested in doing this? Not an "I hate JFK" campaign, but rather a "I love Tara and want her back" one.

Ooooooooh!

I read Warlock's post and inspiration struck. (BTW, great idea, WW!) Spent the past several hours designing my own postcard. You can get it here. Just right-click on the images to save.

Also, you can either print your own postcard using special paper, or you can go to www.amazingmail.com or www.usps.com and design your own. They will create it and mail it for you, for a small fee.

P.S. and now I have another postcard idea. But I need the names and addresses of the advertisers who support Buffy. Like, if a Campbell's soup ad runs during the show, then I want the address for Campbell's soup. Anybody know where/if I can get this information?

Albatross!

Great idea WW

pip - the card is wonderful - thanks

always good to get someone's attention with something pretty

by **UnrealisticExpectations** » Sun Dec 22, 2002 9:12 am

Okay, I'm going to fire off another round of postcards/letters..

Besides it's X-mas time and I can goat my family and friends into writing/sending a postcard. :shy

I'm kinda paranoid about saying the wrong thing.... could somebody give me an example of what to say.

Also should I have my family/friends write something different on theirs....does it look odd if everybody writes the same thing??

by **helpful information perha** » Mon Dec 23, 2002 9:50 pm

be polite but to the point

tell them you were a long time/avid/devoted fan of BtVS

why you are upset with buffy

and/or no longer watching

what you would like of them

give them a bit of info on what demographic your are from/they have upset/lost (age, education etc)

and give your name/city/state

by **themagicpixie** » Tue Dec 24, 2002 7:10 pm

Does anyone have any suggestions what Brit Kitties could do? Does anyone know if there is any point contacting Sky or the BBC to complain that they are airing the mysognistic crap that is Seasons 6 & 7? It's not up to the UK whether Buffy gets cancelled; of course, the USA ratings / vibe / production costs will determine that...

I have tried to do my bit by not buying the Season 6 Buffy box sets... the number of videos and DVDs sold in Europe does tend to get noticed more than the ratings here, as that's where the real money is. The only piece of Buffy merchandise I have acquired lately is Christopher Golden's book "The Wisdom of War" (I am trying to support him, rather than the franchise - I have read that is a good author, and writes Tara well in this one).

I am taping the series off the TV. I am going to figure out how to edit the non-W/T bits and am going to stop that tape right as Tara says: "That's the best part." Therefore I will only be giving my money to Sony or Memorex or whoever for the tapes (plus the crazy British TV licence fee, but I had to pay that anyway).

by **Sheridan** » Tue Dec 24, 2002 8:47 pm

The best thing you can do in the UK is spread the word, let people know what depths the show is heading for, especially any W/T fans watching BBC2, though given the BBC's propensity for cuts they won't realize what's happened to Tara even after SR... :spin

Willow: ...I have to tell you....

Tara: No, I understand you have to be with the person you l-love

Willow: I am

by **WebWarlock** » Wed Dec 25, 2002 9:27 pm

Pip,

That is a great card!

Can't wait to use it. I'll try my hand as well.

I agree, that is a great card

I've just mailed another round of postcards too.

by **sam7777** » Tue Dec 31, 2002 5:25 pm

I wrote an email to Zap2it.com saying that I don't watch Buffy and think that they cover that show too much:

Quote:
Why do you run so many articles about "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"? I don't watch that show and have no interest in reading about it. I would rather see coverage about other shows like "Gilmore Girls" or "The West Wing". I used to go to your site all the time but now am tired of the bias. The Futon Critic has much more balanced Entertainment coverage.

Here's what I got back:
Quote:
Thanks for your email. While I understand that some of the shows we cover might not interest you, "Buffy" is a favorite of the vast majority of our readers.
I say write an email to feedback@zap2it.com if you feel as I do that they have too much Buffy coverage. Make a lie of Zap2it's statement that the show is loved by most of their readers. Also don't be shy and point out their competition.

Don't forget to be polite but to the point if you write them.

Don't ID yourself as part of any group. I only spoke for myself. If you feel the same, let 'em know.

Here was my response:
Quote:
I used to be a big fan of Buffy but hated what the show became 6th season and now hate seeing any news about it. Since my view doesn't apparently fall in with the majority of your readers, I will just go elsewhere for my entertainment news. I'm more interested in the sites like the Futon Critic or Yahoo News! who do not have biased coverage.
Let 'em know that you won't go to their site. I deleted the zap2it.com links from my browser and don't plan to go to that site again. Media Week (www.mediaweek.com/) and the Futon Critic (www.thefutoncritic.com/) are much better sites and aren't propaganda organs for ME, IMHO. Prolly won't make a difference but if they hear from many individuals like me, it may make them think and actually read the ratings that they post and realize that Buffy is not a universally loved show.

Happy New Year to all Kittens!

Edited to add: Thanks Dekalog!

sam

You've had several great ideas these last few days - I entirely agree with you that this is the way to go. Although I will still NEED to send my 'I Miss Tara' postcards - I do feel that it is time to make sure, as you have, that it is known far and wide that this show deserves no praise, no accolades, and no coverage.

Thanks for your ideas - time to ring off the New Year right

by **stereo33** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 3:41 pm

Is everyone still sending emails / postcards etc? Are there any new addresses to write or email to? I've just sent yet another batch. I don't think I could stop it (even if I wanted to :blush

).

by **helpful information perha** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 3:50 pm

I'm still at it - and won't stop till its off the air

by **WebWarlock** » Tue Jan 14, 2003 4:09 pm

I sent 20 today alone.

In fact I am going to post my tempate for the Avery post cards, all you have to do is add your return address and print them.

They are for Avery 3263, 3381, 3377 and 3380.

stamps for them are 23 cents.

Stereo - that's Ok - my friend in Buffalo thinks I have lost my mind as since I really live in CAnada I have to use her as 'my address' - payback is good though as I tell no one about her addiction to the Blue Jays (our baseball team here) :sh

and yes I will be at it till the soon to be released news of Buffy's demise

Hello Kittens-

Two letters off yesterday, more postcards waiting. Every time I think I'm over it ME does one more thing to make me pick up my pen and fire up the printer.

Mail on, Kittens!

dekalog, nice to hear from someone else whose friends think

they are also a little crazy

I'm so glad everyone is still posting / emailing.

Webwarlock, your hard work is definitely not in vain, I'll be working my way through your list shortly. The postcards are fantastic and I'll definitely be using them too. It's enough to make me rush out to the post office and buy a whole new batch of stamps :grin
