As a wannabe writer-but-mostly-blogger I felt compelled to learn more about the WGA strike currently going on. It&#8217;s not a good thing, this strike, and it will affect so many people. I feel bad that it came to this but I also feel a slight sense of solidarity for the writers. I&#8217;m not in their industry by any means, but I know what it&#8217;s like not to be fairly compensated for work I do.<\/p>\n<p>So yeah, I&#8217;m supporting the strike as best I can for a chick in the boonies of Nebraska. Since my 24 site <a href=\"http:\/\/www.24addict.com\">24addict.com<\/a> is rather popular (why I don&#8217;t know but hey, I&#8217;m not looking in that gift horse&#8217;s mouth) I&#8217;m taking advantage of the traffic my site generates to spread the word about fans4writers.com, trying to rally my 24 peeps around the picket sign, you know?<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love the fact that entire fan communities are, in essence, rising up and throwing their support behind the writers of their favourite shows. Instead of bemoaning the fact that a lot of these shows will end, will be delayed or will be in rerun hell, they&#8217;re <a href=\"http:\/\/whedonesque.com\/ws\">sending pizza<\/a> to picketing writers or joining them on the lines. It&#8217;s so awesome. I wish I lived in L.A. right now.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been a long time since I&#8217;ve been so jazzed about a cause.
