so SAG-AFTRA finally released some official guidance for fans, viewers, creators/influencers, critics, and more during the strike. here's what you need to know:

if you see a publication/news source/journalist talking about a piece of struck work, that's ok. they're allowed to do that.

2. they're asking regular viewers and fans to DONATE TO STRIKE FUNDS, SHOW UP TO PICKETS IF YOU CAN, and please do NOT boycott streaming services or movies in theaters.

3. influencers, content creators, cosplayers, and anything in between is still a bit of a grey area, but they're asking people to use their best judgement. "organically" means UNPAID promo (like an invite to a premiere without being paid, being sent a publicity box, letting the company's social media post a photo of you in cosplay, etc).

obviously this doesn't answer every question, and isn't hard and fast rules for fanworks, but it can at least inform how you personally choose to move forward when posting online and moving publically. i hope this helps!

SAG officially considers cosplays of current/past media as crossing the picket line as it can be seen as supporting the studios they're currently striking against.

(link is to a series of tweets, which include the original poster of the screenshot directly asking SAG-AFTRA what the rules are for paid/influencer cosplayers who want to support the strike)

EDIT 2 (first edit in tags): the tweet in the OP has been deleted, so I'll be shutting down reblogs on this post just so people don't take the link as a solid source when it no longer exists. For context, the original link was from a content creator who'd emailed SAG-AFTRA about guidance surrounding promos, contracts, and influencers. The response from SAG-Aftra likely wasn't 100% detailed because things were still being figured out. As for more detailed questions such as what counts as an influencer and other really specific questions I've seen in the tags, that's not something I know. Maybe emailing SAG-AFTRA themselves will help, although I can't be sure.

If the original email or the FAQ were confusing to you, it's likely that it's because both were phrased in a way that would be understandable to people who'd be likely to scab, ie influencers under specific circumstances. It's not really geared toward the lay person (which is what the FAQ will make clear by their frequent use of "influencer").

Again, the notes (and frankly the original link itself) have some that this is about influencers specifically. I missed that keyword in the OP (typo). I need people to stop acting like I'm willfully fearmongering and spreading misinformation. I read the full thread. I read the entire FAQ. It's on you if you do neither. At the time of my reading the thread, the FAQ either hadn't been released yet or had just come out. I also need people to stop bringing up Neil Gaiman's Tumblr post when SAG-AFTRA has their own Official FAQ on their strike site.

For the FAQ, it's here. It's about influencers, both union and non-union. Iirc the non-union FAQ has some ways to help that non-influencers can also engage in, like using a hashtag or generally raising awareness.

If you have any questions, please please please direct them to official members of SAG-AFTRA. Email Fran Drescher herself if you somehow can. Regardless, support the WGA SAG-AFTRA strike.

#ch posts #sag aftra #strike #star wars #hollywood strike #cosplay #edit: pls pls pls go into the notes and find rhe addition/correction #or reblog this version #or idk read through the link #i missed a word here but theres people acting like im fearmongering on purpose because THEY refuse to resd

September 25: Read the WGA's email to its membership

[ID: tweet from Adam Conover @/adamconover that says, "We did it. We have a tentative deal. Over the coming days, we'll discuss and vote on it, together, as a democratic union. But today, I want to thank every single WGA member, and every fellow worker who stood with us in solidarity. You made this possible. Thank you. #WGAStrong".

Attached is a screenshot of the first part of the WGA's recent email to its membership. Conover's next tweet says, "Here's the rest of our email to members, which details what happens next:" with the rest of the email attached in screenshots.

Transcript of the WGA's email to its membership:

DEAR MEMBERS,

We have reached a tentative agreement on a new 2023 MBA, which is to say an agreement in principle on all deal points, subject to drafting final contract language.

What we have won in this contract — most particularly, everything we have gained since May 2nd — is due to the willingness of this membership to exercise its power, to demonstrate its solidarity, to walk side-by-side, to endure the pain and uncertainty of the past 146 days. It is the leverage generated by your strike, in concert with the extraordinary support of our union siblings, that finally brought the companies back to the table to make a deal.

We can say, with great pride, that this deal is exceptional — with meaningful gains and protections for writers in every sector of the membership.

What remains now is for our staff to make sure everything we have agreed to is codified in final contract language. And though we are eager to share the details of what has been achieved with you, we cannot do that until the last "i" is dotted. To do so would complicate our ability to finish the job. So, as you have been patient with us before, we ask you to be patient again — one last time.

Once the Memorandum of Agreement with the AMPTP is complete, the Negotiating Committee will vote on whether to recommend the agreement and send it on to the WGAW Board and WGAE Council for approval. The Board and Council will then vote on whether to authorize a contract ratification vote by the membership.

If that authorization is approved, the Board and Council would also vote on whether to lift the restraining order and end the strike at a certain date and time (to be determined) pending ratification. This would allow writers to return to work during the ratification vote, but would not affect the membership's rights to make a final determination on contract approval.

Immediately after those leadership votes, which are tentatively scheduled for Tuesday if the language is settled, we will provide a comprehensive summary of the deal points and the Memorandum of Agreement. We will also convene meetings where members will have the opportunity to learn more about and assess the deal before voting on ratification.

To be clear, no one is to return to work until specifically authorized to by the Guild. We are still on strike until then. But we are, as of today, suspending WGA picketing. Instead, if you are able, we encourage you to join the SAG-AFTRA picket lines this week.

Finally, we appreciated your patience as you waited for news from us — and had to fend off rumors — during the last few days of the negotiation. Please wait for further information from the Guild. We will have more to share with you in the coming days, as we finalize the contract language and go through our unions' processes.

As always, thank you for your support. You will hear from us again very soon.

In solidarity,

WGA NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE

Late in the day on Sunday, September 24 — after 146 days of labor stoppage, the longest strike in Hollywood history by a long shot — the Writers Guild of America (WGA), which represents Hollywood’s writers, and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), an association of Hollywood’s largest studios and production companies, announced that an agreement had been reached. On Tuesday, September 26, the union’s leadership announced that they’d voted to end the strike and recommend the membership vote in favor of ratifying the contract.

Also, I think the best part of the weekend wasn't the movies themselves but walking into a theater and seeing so many PEOPLE for the first time since before the pandemic. People that were so excited to see what they were in line for. People coming out of auditoriums with giant grins on their faces or gushing about their minds being blown. Little kids dressed head to toe in pink. ADULTS dressed head to toe in pink! People walking into a three hour movie after 10pm because they want to see it so bad and this was the last showing with available seats.

Support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA as best you can. I already knew this before going in but this opening weekend has confirmed it. Movies and television and art are too important for us to allow them to disappear or be handed over to a soulless computer.

Welp, that's one way to try and help. 😊 Show these studios that you can't just starve ppl out indefinitely in order to get your way.

I hope more will continue to donate, cuz this is getting ridiculous! 😤 MOST ppl cannot afford to go months and months without a paycheck! Most ppl (newsflash) are living paycheck to paycheck, or are two or three paychecks away from not being able to make their rent/mortgage, pay their cars, or put food on the table. 😔

Anyway, I'm hoping more actors at the top will continue to donate. Oprah and her billion dollar self could probably stand to donate more than 1 million lol 👀, but hey, we're just happy to get what we can get at this point lol 😆

This video explains how big movie studios can generate millions and millions of dollars.

And why a movie that costs $70 million and grosses $100 million needs to make triple the gross to be a hit movie.

Fees.

These bastards charge fees on everything related to the movie and that's the profit for these motherfuckers. This video explains this better, but the amount of money is disgusting. These bastards don't want to pay fairly because that's money they will lose from their own fucking pockets 😤

Underrated thing about The Crow (1994) is that ultimately it's a film about a guy utterly wrecking his shitty landlord.

Like yeah, Top Dollar is a spooky casually homicidal goth mob boss who ordered the brutal murders of the protagonist and his fiancee, and we get the whole classic revenge spree film slaughtering your way through the criminals to get to the top guy formula.

(With in addition to the whole revenant bit the interesting variant that Eric isn't even actually going for the guy at the top, he just interjects himself into the proceedings lmao.)

But also he's a slumlord, and the reason they died was Shelly formed a tenant's union in response to wrongful eviction proceedings. And Top Dollar would rather have his building sitting empty than put up with that shit.

Which will make it very funny if the remake that got greenlit for next year is deep-sixed by the studios' deranged collective refusal to come to terms with the WGA and SAG-AFTRA.

#hoc est meum #unionize #the crow #movies #evil landlord #with fantastic hair #arguably top dollar is not meant to be understood as the landlord #but T-bird sure as shit didn't own the place #and he referred to what she was organizing against as 'our tenant relocation program'#and he works for Top Dollar so #i'm pretty sure?#hollywood strike

a reminder to read about the strikes carefully because the press WILL run with literally anything a celebrity will say or do to spin it into something they're not actually saying. dont forget who owns the big media conglomerates. most top actors have close relationships with directors and writers and have been in the industry long enough that they are fully aware of the threat to not just them but the remaining 95% of the industry that will be impacted far greater than them.

don't forget that every film or TV show coming out right now was shot months or years in advance. support the actors and the writers. watch that TV show live if you are able. stream the new season that just dropped. buy a movie ticket. make it clear to the studios that you care about these people making a living, bc low ratings will be thrown right back at their faces. actors have been picketing with writers before the sag-aftra strike was announced. they're all fighting the same fight.

#saw the matt damon comment being twisted to imply something totally different to what he was actually saying and it made me rly angry lol #sag aftra #sag strike #wga strike #wga #hollywood strike

Call me crazy, but I think if a studio orders a season of television they should be contractually obligated to see that order through to completion.

No changing your mind after you renew a show for an additional season. No giving up on shows who have shot their first season. No cancelling a show WHILE they’re finishing season 2 then removing season 1 from your streaming service, thereby putting its future existence at risk.

When a project isn’t aired, the artists involved can’t point at it and say, “You can see my skills here!” You can put it on your resume but employers aren’t able to judge the quality of the work themselves. It’s damaging to every artist involved in that show, especially when they turned down other opportunities to work on a project people will never see.

If you order a season of television, you should be contractually obliged to finish and air that season. Otherwise don’t order it.

Look, I hope it doesn't come to this, but I think it would be really poetic if the Hollywood strikes get resolved because Ron Perlman just starts ripping out studio execs' hearts and eating them whole 💖
