Ok, since I brought the idea of blitzing up originally, a few days
ago, I thought I'd get my version of the instructions out. Below is
just what Makes Sense to me.
1, The address
2. Content : This goes without saying, but be __Polite__. You can
also call the Telephone number (1-818-777-1000) but be extra polite.
We want them to know that we are normal, non rabid (sorry rabid
clancyettes) fans of the show.
You might want to include some of the following in the body.
Your demographics (especially if you have desirable ones, you know
what I mean, we all know that in TV Ad land, us non 18-40 males don't
exactly count, but every one in "let's save E2 land" counts)
That you watched the show loyally, but you had difficulty with the
What you especially liked about the show ( originality, character
development, Alonzo's bare chest (just kidding))
A request/plea to help campaign for E2's continued existance, or if he
can't, to please refer our letters to whoever might use them best.
A compliment on some other non e2 related accomplishment of his
and a "thanks for your time"
On the Envelope, DO NOT put "Regarding E2" or any such comment, we
want them to have to open each one, roll their eyes and add it to the
pile.
ON GETTING MANY LETTERS
Whoever said it was right, spamming isn't going to help as much as
lots of individual letters. my Ideas
I got ten letters in a day the following way. Bring Envelopes
with you to school/work/the gym/whereever. find a friend (family
member, whatever) BRIEFLY explain your situation and ask them for
five minutes of their time to make you extremely happy and
grateful. Once they say yes to make you shut up, hand them an
envelope, ask them to copy the address off your conveniently
provided index card. ask them to put their address on it. take
the envelope. tell them to put the date, return address, etc,
then dear Mr Spielberg, then either dictate, or have them copy a
BRIEF letter with a "Demographics" sentence, a "I am a fan of E2
for these reasons" sentence, and a "Please help renew e2" sentence.
have them sign it. take it. stamp it. Send it.
It works, trust me. especially on family members.
Now here's the important part. This blitz should Start August
twentieth, and End August 26th. Get as many letters as humanly
possible to the ONE address above between those two dates, then we
will move on to another address. A glut of mail for one week will be
more effective than dribbled out, and a weeks worth should be long
enough to get their attention.
So, to summarize.
Steve Spielberg
No "EARTH 2 on envelope"
Be polite
get lots of letters
Send them between Aug 20 and Aug 26, the next address will be
forthcoming.
Oh, and please crosspost this on AOL, Compuserve, Alt.tv.earth2, and
wherever else you think it might be seen. Just check to see if it
hasn't already been posted, so they don't get 15 copys.
Thanks again,
P.S. Try hanging out at local comic shops and bugging people there,
ask the management first, though.
