- As to who to write, the magazines are always a good place because the mail/opinion sections are monitored by interns to get a feel for the audience reaction to things. They are generally seen by TPTB as being a more accurate reflection than the internet which is why they look at the mail/opinion sections to gauge audience sentiments. Any letter sent to ABC/GH should also be cc'd to the actor. Keeping his fan mail up is a good thing. They note who gets how much.

- Letters written to ABC/GH should be NOTES, as opposed to letters, and postcards are better. Letters don't get read, nobody has the time. Also personal, individual correspondence as opposed to massive, generic mail-in campaigns garner more positive attention. Email is a waste ... nothing electronic is as good as the old fashioned pen to paper.

- As for what kind of impact writing, etc. will have, basically, what it comes down to is what their plans are and how open are they to making adjustments. If they're flexible, then yes, fan attention can make a difference. If they're set on one direction, then no amount of attention is going to change it.

- As to the network's reactions to various objects sent in, the one word that would describe it would be: annoyed. Anything that looks to be part of an "organized" campaign is discounted. It's really best for each individual to drop a postcard in their OWN words, not some "form" campaign (and NEVER put an identifying group association on the correspondence).

- As for the phone calls to the comment lines, normally a transcript of caller comments is provided to the headwriter so this input is very valuable, as well.

- Do not use the nickname "CarJax" or any variation, always use Carly and Jax. And don't use he initials IR and/or TB, use their full names and last name thereafter, unless you want to make a point - then use their full name again.
