This is only a small sampling of what you've been emailing to us. Keep it coming. We'll figure out a way to read it all.

- Prexy Pat on KTLA

- Greg Daniels, showrunner of "The Office," makes our case on E! Online.

- Big thanks to John August for posting a copy of "Not a Word," an ad in which screenwriters pledge to support the strike.

- An op-ed by The Daily Show's Steve Bodow in the NY Daily News.

- GREAT coverage of the action up at the Disney picket by Stephen Falk on his blog, Plaintive Wail.

- Headline of the Day: "Four days in, strike tilts to the writers." Subhead of the Day: "The months of stockpiled shows look to be weeks."

- MySpace.com/support_the_writers

- Fans4Writers.com

- Someone's covering the strike via Twitter. Perfect for all you nerds, hipsters and hideous nerd-hipster hybrids.

The fans4writers site appears to be borked. Might be trying to install some malware. Just a word of caution

fans4writers site is switching operating systems (at really the worst time possible). We're working on putting up a mirror site.

The fans4writers site is in the middle of switching from Windows to Linux, it'll be completed some time today. There's no problems with malware, but it will be annoying until it's straightened out.

As a writer specializing in marketing communications, I wanted to post a comment expressing my support for your cause. I blogged about how your concerns compare to life as a business writer on my blog at: http://8alarm.com/2007/11/09/nothing-in-life-is-free-including-writing/

You deserve fair compensation for your work. Thanks for your stand on behalf of writers everywhere. Whether we produce business communications or entertainment, it's all a creative product.
