wake-up-kid:

Now that we’ve reached the end of the season and eagerly await the next step in Kurt and Blaine’s journey, The Box Scene presents an interesting, riveting, and moving perspective not only of the relationship of two boys in love, but also of a show and the viewers it serves. 

It changes everything.

After seeing fandom’s hurt and outrage over how Kurt’s POV and dreams were discarded in the finale, I had the hope that we could contact the show/Fox and share our feelings with them. I’m just a lurker (thanks for working with me, Aelora!), but I’ve seen a lot of great and passionate statements about the disregard shown to LGBTQ kids during Kurt’s storyline, and how it sent a lot of messages beyond what they probably intended. I’ve also seen other fandoms try to get in touch with creators, and tried to take note of the lessons I saw there.

Coordinated campaigns are the best way to get attention, I think. Even if the recipients don’t read everything that people write, they can see at a glance that it’s another “vote” for the same opinion. I put together some postcard designs that reflect some of the feelings I’ve seen across fandom.

If you want to buy them pre-made, they’re for sale here at Cafepress. I went with Cafepress because they let me sell fairly small quantities with no commission for me. Zazzle wouldn’t let me avoid taking a profit, and other sites had big minimum orders. The postcards come in sets of 8, so it’s easy to drop a card in the mail every few days or every week, so Fox and RIB keep hearing about what we think about how Kurt was just discarded.

However, while pre-made is nice, it might be more than people want to spend, or they might want to send more than one design. If you’d rather buy some blank postcards from Staples, all the designs are here for download. (There are options with both exact sizing and full bleed, which is why there are two albums.) Feel free to print them on your own, or use them on some other Cafepress-like site if you find a better deal than I did!

As well, you might have some design ideas of your own. You can also download the Photoshop template (without bleed) (with bleed) and make your own postcards. All you have to do is change (and resize) the larger text in the bottom right, and pick a color you like for the background.

Some tips:

• Keep the opening lines the same, so it maintains the look of a unified campaign.
• Don’t have too many words on the front, so someone can’t take them in at a glance. You do have the back to write on.
• Stay respectful, even if you’re very pointed about it. Not only is it more likely to be heard by the recipient, but remember that these are postcards, and so are visible at all times. Obscenities might not even get delivered.
• If you want to send more than one postcard, consider getting them prepared and stamped, and then just drop one in the mail every few days, or whatever timeframe works for you.
• Be personal. Talk about why Kurt’s story matters to you. This is what sticks in people’s minds.

What they did to Kurt was a big deal, especially considering how important he is to a lot of vulnerable kids who’ve said they take hope from his storyline. I don’t know if they realize just how upset people are, and for what reasons, but hopefully they’ll learn.
