Quote:So I arrived at my picketing site at Disney studios. And, 'lo and behold, I ran into Katherine Fugate. For those who don't know, Katherine is an extremely talented writer who wrote an amazing episode of Xena and now has her own series on the air, "Army Wives". We've known each other for years, so we walked along, happily picketing together, discussing business and romance, when one of the strike leaders came up to us and asked us if we had anything to do with the items that were delivered to them. We looked a bit bewildered and he asked our names. When we told him, he said "Yeah, the Xena fans dropped it off in your names to support the Writers." Well, well. How about that? So we copped to it. And that began a lively discussion about how incredible the fans have been during the strike. The strike leader was amazed; he had not experienced such a thing. Not just the Xena fans, but fans for other shows having also been showing their support, having pizzas or cookies delivered to the various strike locations. This is a source of support that has been unknown in the past.
It was funny to see the other Writers grazing the food and drinks, finding out that fans of certain shows had sent the food. Their reactions were amazement. "Really? The fans?"
But, as I pointed out, this was more amazing because Xena ISN'T EVEN ON THE AIR. In fact, it's been off the air for six years! The other fans, bless their hearts, want to see their Writers back on the job and to see their shows. The Xena fans have no other reason than to support us and the cause. They (you) truly appreciate us. And I can't tell you how much that means to me. To all of us.
.......
I'm picketing on a strike line for the rights of series I don't work on and a future that will benefit new Writers… and fans of a CANCELED series send supplies for us, not because of a particular show, but because of their love of WRITERS.
I don't think I can express to you how moving that is for me. I love my career. I just didn't always know the audience did.
