Take A Letter, Cordelia...

A message from Scott (Buffyverse Forever):

All right, it's what you've all been waiting for! It's time for the
next installment in the campaign to get us that Spike
tv/straight-to-DVD movie that we all so desperately want to see!

As you'll remember, Joss is more than ready to give us what we want.
The only problem is that he has been unable to persuade the studio to
do its part. We've already written to Twentieth Century Fox, but we're
going to need allies to accomplish our goal. The first people who
we'll be writing to to ask their help will be two distinguished
writers for TV Guide - Michael Ausiello and Matt Roush.

Write to:

Mr. Michael Ausiello
T.V. Guide
1211 Avenue of the Americas
4th Floor
New York, NY 10036

and


Mr. Matt Roush
T.V. Guide
Box 500
Radnor, PA 19088-0500


Remember, if possible, send handwritten letters. The more effort that
a letter has had put into it, the more likely it is to impress them!
And don't just stop with writing to them yourself, get everybody you
know who's a Whedon fan - family,friends, enemies, people who are
totally apathetic to you - to write in! You can even print up letters
for them if you'd like! The more mail they get, the better!

Now, let's get to work people! Angel may get to slay the dragon, but
we're the ones who've got the really important job! Let's show them
Whedon fans are truly a force to be reckoned with!

(If you would rather send postcards you can download them from this
thread:

or send a pm to gman with your e-mail address. He has them formatted
in a Word document.)


Wesley's Archives
Media Mentions Of The Shows

Since not a week goes by, that some mention of the show doesn't appear
in the media, we have to wonder why the studio execs have not figured
it out. We want more! So while you are sitting down to fill out your
post cards take a gander at some of the recent mentions of Joss and
the gang:

Superman/Batman #26 - Joss Whedon and 25 other writers banded together
to write a tribute to young Sam Loeb, son of comic writer Jeph Loeb.
Sam passed away, a year ago at age 17. He was writing a story for the
comic. Pat Lee was slated to do the art for the issue. Sadly. Sam died
before this could be finished. I cried just reading the story by
Jerome Maida at Philly.com. I also called my comic store to reserve an
issue.

Reviews of Spike TV's " Blade" referred to the fact that like "Buffy"
and "Angel", the new series had plenty of gore and violence without
the "requisite sense of humor to soften the blow." I found the show
kind of bland. I will continue to watch it in hopes it will improve.
Review: Bangor Daily News and others.



Lorne's Lounge
Actors in Other Roles

On June 3, 2006 SciFi channel aired Crow 4: Wicked Prayer. I wanted to
see it before I added it to my video collection. (I support the actors
by buying their films, too.) But golleeeee, this one is going on the
shelf next to Wrong Turn with Eliza Dushku. Wrong Turn, by the way was
my new 'low' for loyalty. My husband said it all. "Wow, if it wasn't
for David, I wouldn't waste 2 minutes on this." My feeling is that the
actors did their best, the writing was just not all that hot. So,
writers, PLEASE no Crow 5, ok? This Murder of Crows is played out.

Much, much better was Voodoo Moon, shown on the same night and
starring Charisma Carpenter. The knowledge and use of voodoo was a
little sketchy, but over all, very good. I'll buy this one to add to
the Watch Again Collection.

Our Lady of Visions (Charisma) missed the signs and portents when she
"Flirted With Danger" on the Lifetime channel on June 27th. It will be
rebroadcast. Next time, Cordy, guys who act to good to be true, ARE
too good to be true. We thought you learned that lesson.



Fan Fiction

Over in the Fan Fiction Zone, welcome a new author as The Black Thorn
begins Season 1 of an all new Spike series!

Over in LuvSab's "Way of the World", things aren't going so well for
the Fang Gang after "Don't Fade Away". Can their new friend LaShey help?

Thrill to "Presence" the newest episode of Endorill's Season Seven.
When Angel and company find themselves battling a formidable demon,
they soon realize that the only way they can beat the demon is with
the aid of an old friend. The problem is that this old friend happens
to be quite dead...

Be sure to check out the newest installments in Maiden Green's epic
"Three Wishes". Spike and Illyria encounter a strange new opponent,
Wesley faces the ultimate temptation , and the entire Fang Gang faces
their strangest problem yet-an unexpected run of good luck! And in the
shadows, an even greater danger lurks-one caused by one of the Fang
Gang themselves!

Don't miss any of these epic adventures! And, hey, if you've got an
idea for a Fan Fic yourself, why not post it in the Fan Fiction Zone?
Help show the world that Angel's adventures have only just begun...


The Toy Shelf

All those who bought the Angel puppet with the Vampire Face, should be
getting theirs the middle of June. Let us know what you think. I found
a nice sword for my Battle Damage Angel puppet. (Though the folks in
the knife shop looked at me strangely when I whipped out the puppet
for size.)

He looks very cool in my office, guarding my computer from the cats.
What have you bought lately? Let us know and we'll happily print your
review.
