WGA/SAG-AFTRA Strike 2023

The WGA/SAG-AFTRA Strike 2023 refers to two 2023 strikes in the entertainment industry by the Writer's Guild of America (WGA) and the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA). The labour disputes occurred between 2nd May-9th November. Their effects have been felt in fandom.
Misinformation and confusion regarding whether fans could write fanfic, draw fanart, or cosplay during the strike without scabbing began to spread after SAG-AFTRA attempted to clarify what influencers could do, which lead to fandom questioning who was included as an 'influencer'.
The WGA part of the strike was brought to a tentative end at the end of September 2023, after 146 days of striking, when a deal was accepted by the WGA union leadership and they voted to end the strike and advise their members to vote to agree to the deal. Voting from the union members began on 2nd October 2023, and while members may choose to reject the deal, the general discussion is that this is unlikely due to the quality of the deal reachedThe Hollywood writers’ strike is over — and they won big - Vox. Sept. 28, 2023. (Accessed Oct. 7, 2023). The WGA remained fully in support of the SAG-AFTRA strike, the hope being at the time that with the quality of the WGA deal, the actors would also get what they had been striking for from these negotiationsSAG-AFTRA & Studios Negotiations To Continue Friday & Next Week; Talks Proceeding “Calmly” - Deadline. Oct. 4, 2023. (Accessed: Oct. 7, 2023).
On 9th November, SAG-AFTRA'S strikes ended following a tentative deal the previous day.
==Fandom Response==

Some fans recommended watching older shows and films as an alternative during the strikes.Fans should really be using the WGA strike to take the opportunity to connect with older media!!

WHOLOCK (WhoLock vid)

WHOLOCK is a vid by John Smith created for the Doctor Who/Sherlock crossover that is also known as WhoLock. It mainly stars Sherlock Holmes and Eleventh Doctor, but John Watson also appears briefly.
As of December 22, 2013, the video has more than 1,452,600 views.
==Vidder's note/Summary==
:" "Months after an encounter with a mysterious 'Doctor', Sherlock becomes obsessed with discovering more about this impossible man... until the man makes an unexpected return."
:In anticipation of both the Doctor Who Christmas Special and the Third Series of Sherlock, I created a small crossover story. Though it may not be perfect, I'm still pretty happy with the results.
:Hope you enjoy!."
Watch the VFX Breakdown here: 
:"Of the 85 shots in the final video, only two contained no VFX. Everything from clothing replacement to rotoscoping to full facial animation to a 3D TARDIS was used to create the illusion of a continuous story. And so, unlike the 50th Trailer, I could not simply remove a shot if it wasn't working very well, as every single angle was vital to the flow of the story.
:Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere were the programs used in creating the visuals."

WHO ARE WE?, or, NOT A CAPE IN A CARLOAD

WHO ARE WE?, or, NOT A CAPE IN A CARLOAD is a 1977 essay by Ted Bryan, the editor of many of the earliest issues of Darkover Newsletter. 
This essay appeared in Darkover Newsletter #8. 
It was written in response to a critic who'd called Darkover fans "fat 13-year olds in capes," a description that still rankled the editors, and fans, of Darkover Newsletter. 
Another response to the critic's label was the Letter from MZB in Darkover Newsletter #7, as well as Walter Breen's comments in that issue. 
==Some Topics Discussed==
* statistics regarding gender
* other Darkover fans' fannish interest
* Darkover fans' occupations and ages
* no fat 13 year olds
* mention that many of the female writers did not include Miss, Ms., or Mrs. in their correspondence 
* a proposed formal survey of Darkover fans
* a statement that George Lucas was inspired by Darkover for Star Wars
==Excerpts from the Essay==
The "study group" for these comments were taken from information from 600+ fans who had cards "on file" with Friends of Darkover. Ted Bryan, the essay's author, said it took him about an hour to find the statistics.

WICOMICON

WICOMICON was a one-day pop-up convention held on April 28, 2018 at 1100 Wicomico in Baltimore. The convention was organised in the wake of the cancellation of and the controversy surrounding Universal FanCon, and was born out of the desire to make an inclusive, diverse convention happen in Baltimore despite the collapse of FanCon. The convention was organised and executed in just one week.
The convention took its name from the Wicomico building in which it was held; organiser Uraeus noticed that the word "comic" was contained within the building name, and suggested putting an N on the end to make "WICOMICON". The organisers later learned that "Wicomico" was derived from Algonquin words that roughly translated to "a place where homes are built".WICOMICON: A place where community was built, Keith Chow, Syfy. Published September 6, 2018 (Accessed June 19, 2021).
The convention was a rousing success, attended by around 1,000 artists and fansThe Founders of Wicomicon on How They Pulled Off Their Pop-up Convention, and the FanCon Fallout, Lila Shapiro, Vulture. Published May 9, 2018 (Accessed June 19, 2021)., including many vendors who had planned to exhibit at Universal FanCon, and featuring celebrity guests including Luke Cage showrunner Cheo Hodari Coker, professional comic creators Greg Pak and Ron Wilson, and stars from The Magicians and Killjoys. Reactions to and announcements about the event were chronicled on the #WICOMICON hashtag on Twitter.
Another event to rise from the ashes of FanCon was Famcom, a livestreamed event taking place on April 22, 2018; the two events promoted one another and were often discussed alongside one another.
=="Non-Existent Community"==
In the wake of FanCon's collapse, cofounder Robert Butler gave a controversial interview to Vulture about what had happened in which he blamed the disaster on a lack of fans buying ticket sales. “Unfortunately, they just didn’t [buy tickets]. I should have known better. But I let my belief in this nonexistent community blind me.”The Story Behind FanCon’s Controversial Collapse, Lila Shapiro, Vulture. Published May 7, 2018 (Accessed July 3, 2021).
The phrase "Non-existent community" became a flashpoint for the backlash against FanCon, and a rallying cry for projects like WICOMICON that set out to prove Butler wrong. WICOMICON organiser Uraeus turned the quote into a T-shirt design, produced by Black Heroes Matter.

WSA Program

Why wait and become a loser? (from a WSA ad in Warped Space #38) 
The WSA Program is a fannish organization created to combat fraudulent fandom practices. It operated as part of the National Central Bureau and assisted not only fanzine buyers and sellers, but also the wider fandoms of comic book and baseball card collectors along with other sci-fi memorabilia. It operated until at least 1984, if not later. By 1978, they had assigned an estimated assigned 1300 numbers. By the end of their operation in 1984, they had recovered an estimated $100,000 in disputed payments and merchandise.
According to Wikipedia: "WSA was started by Stanley Blair, a retired accountant and publisher of Stan's Weekly Express (also known as WE), an early adzine for collectors started in 1969. When one of the advertisers proved fraudulent Blair took it upon himself to gather evidence and cooperate with appropriate authorities in the capture and prosecution of the defrauder, with restitution made to the victims. Blair had personal expenses of just over $200 for pursuing the case. Ron Frantz notes "The grateful victims took up a collection without [Blair's] knowledge. The funds exceeded Blair's actual expenses. This money was placed in a special account for the investigation of future mail frauds." At this time Blair created the WE Reporting Bureau and WE Seal of Approval, "dedicated to fair play in the hobby and suggested professional methods of doing business by mail".Frantz. p.54 After an illness and the emergence of The Buyer's Guide for Comics Fandom (TBG) as the main marketplace for comic book back issue advertising, Blair shut down his magazine in 1973 with issue no.100/102 and under the umbrella of the National Central Bureau (NCB) devoted full time to the WSA Program and associated activities."Wikipedia entry on the WE Seal of Approval Program, accessed December 14, 2011.
==Media Fandom's Use of The WSA Program==
The WSA had a subdivision for Star Trek fans, referred to as WSA:Star Trek Division, or WSA-STD.
===Comments by Star Trek Fans in 1976===
 
In 1976, the Acting Administrator of WSA, Mandi Schultz, explained:
From the editor of Stardate #10: 
===A New Branch?===
A fan in 1980 said: 
==The WSA in Action==
* There was a very lengthy letter in Warped Space #21 that explained how the WSA took a case on behalf of a fan who'd been stalked and hounded by a man who claimed to know Issac Asimov. See The facts are these. Hoover is not telling the truth.
* There is a personal statement by Lori Chapek-Carleton in Universal Translator #7 (1981) that was written to help her find another fan whom she sent two boxes of zines to be sold at a con in 1979 and has heard nothing from. "The WSA/PA is helping me with an investigation."

WaTchers: The Virtual Series

WaTchers the Virtual Series is a virtual continuation of Buffy the Vampire Slayer taking place in Cleveland, where a new Watchers' Council was formed by Willow Rosenberg and Rupert Giles. It held a format similar to regular TV shows, with each "season" having on average 24 episodes.
==Overview==
Each Watchers season contained a minimum of 24 episodes that began in September 2003 with the final episode airing in October 2008. A lot of work went into "producing" each instalment. The episodes were structured in Acts, and each Act was accompanied with manips (acting as screencaps for the episode) and sound bites. Each episode was formatted to allow viewing it on mobile devices. Each episode was also translated into a number of different languages.

Season One ran with a tagline A New Home...New Allies...New Big Bad...
It was posted between September 2003 and May 2004 and consisted of 24 episodes.
Season One introduced a number of Original Characters, the most prominent of them was Rowena Allister (portrayed in associated art by Michelle Williams). Even though Rowena developed feelings for and was involved in a relationship with Willow, the majority of readers didn't consider her a Mary Sue (though some, especially at the beginning, expressed fear she might turn into one).
