I was just talking to a friend on my lj about a letter writing campaign. Would anyone here be interested in writing a letter?
My thinking is that it might make more of an impact if we organized it so we give everyone a week or so to gather their thoughts and write their letters, and then send them all to one person who could print them out, put them in envelopes and send them out. That way they all arrive at roughly the same time and would be kinda hard to miss.
And these letters would all simply do the same thing. Thank TPTB for 10 years of a wonderful show and let them know that we are happy with, for example, the way Daniel was written in the last episode or getting the team dynamic back that everyone loves so much. I think a heart felt thank you like that would go a long way with people like Brad Wright and Robert Cooper who have presumably had lots of letter writing campaigns that focus on the negative (i.e. Bring back Daniel Jackson, Bring back Jack O'Neill, etc....). Not that there is anything wrong with a group of fans expressing their wish that something change in the show - but I think it'd be nice for them to hear that what they are doing is RIGHT and that we're all (most of us) enjoying season 10 so far!
If I get enough positive response for this I dont mind organizing it. Let me know what ya'll think.

Originally posted by thothscribe81I totally agree that the anti's are in the minority. I just hope your right that TPTB are taking into account ALL the facts, including the polls and the fact that while the anti's are more vocal, that there are still more people here that are enjoying the episodes. I guess I just worry, after reading Brad Wrights interview, that they may get fed up with the anti fans and just decide to throw in the towel. I know that renewing the show is up to the ratings (something they are having trouble with because of TiVo and DVR, etc...) but Robert Cooper and Brad Wrights continuation on the show I believe is going to rely on the fans wanting the show to continue. I just hope they realize how much most of us appreciate the hard work they are doing and are enjoying the show still. *sigh* I just wish there was a way to let them know that.

Originally posted by lissa1000I have a feeling they aren't too bothered by the anti stuff. All tv shows get picked apart by the fans. Analyzing the show is part of the fun. I think from time to time a complaint will hit home, though. I think they know how well liked they and the show are. Even the anti's wouldn't be here if they truly hated the show. I think it would be a nice gesture to write them a nice letter. They deserve some praise.sigpic

Originally posted by LinwelinI agree with the idea of letters... I have time enough for that at the time !
I think it is important to let them know how much we appreciate the show, with it's changes, the way it is developed, and so on...

Originally posted by FarscapefanDefinitely. Also we must tell them (although they know it very well, Brad Wright was talking about it in one of his interviews recently) how big INTERNATIONAL support and interest in the show is, especially now with such a great changes to the show. If Americans are going to screw it up (low ratings), all other countries are going to be very, very angry... MGM should have really good plan B I think.sigpic

Okay, I started a website for the letter writing campaign, but as I'm not that well versed in website creating, would someone mind taking a look and letting me know what they think so far. It still has some work (obviously, lol) but this is the idea I had for the layout and title page...

Thanks for everyone's feedback on this. I think its a great idea and hopefully we'll be able to show TPTB how much we really love the show!

If Sci-Fi aired SG1 in English, in original version in my country, I would pay for that ! Actually, I'm thinking of getting it, but it will be expensive to have the antenna...
