I felt the need to write this after the outrageous season finales of every show I watch regardless of the network. Feel free to private message me for a complete list of the way the writers strike screwed up TV.

I waked into a room in the back of a library. Looking around I saw groups of people standing and talking and drinking coffee. I stayed in a corner until a woman with short red hair walked in and everyone took seats in a circle. No one noticed me.
"Hello?" I said a bit embarrassed when all eyes turned to me suddenly. The woman with the red hair smiled and patted the seat next to her.
"Welcome friend. Have a seat."
"Umm I'm new to this so…" I trailed off hoping someone would come to my rescue. The red haired woman understood. She smiled again soothingly.
"Don't worry we were all nervous our first meeting." She told me.
"Well thanks I really need this."
"We all do." The woman stood up "Friends I would like to welcome all of you to this meeting of the support group of people kicked off shows or shows ruined by the writers strike. We have a new member today so could we please go around and introduce ourselves and say why we're here?"
The young man next to her stood up. His hands were wrapped in white bandages. "My name is Zach Addy and I was kicked off my show Bones because they made me gormagon. Oh yeah they also blow off my freaking hands!!" he exclaimed holding up his bandaged hands. He sat down.
The man next to him was African American with the slightest hint of an afro to his hair. "My name is Warrick Brown and I was kicked off my show CSI because I was shot in the neck by a mob boss. SHOT IN THE NECK!! Creative writers yeah they really deserve all the money they're asking for. Screw them all." He muttered
The blonde woman in the next chair stood up and introduced herself. "My name is Amber or Cut Throat Bitch, which ever you prefer. I was kicked off my show House because I was also killed off." She looked at Warrick Brown with her eyes full of empathy. "Though they were a bit more creative with my death, I was in a bus accident but no one knew who I was so they didn't find me until my kidneys shut down and I only lived for a few hours." She sat down smiling. "Pleasant isn't it?"
'Not really' I thought but I kept my mouth shut.
Next was a Black woman dressed in a lot of white. "My name is Alexx Woods and I was kicked off my show CSI: Miami because they said I was tired of all the death. God I'm an M.E. for god sake!! Tired of the death!! They couldn't come up with a better reason!! What the hell am I supposed to do now?!" She sat down fuming.
The man sitting next to her patted her knee before standing up. He spoke with a thick New York accent. "My name is Danny Messing and my show CSI: NY was ruined because I cheated on my girlfriend with the mother of the kid I got killed then she moved away. She couldn't even stay around for a while?" He said a bit hysterical. Alexx Woods helped him into his chair where he muttered "Sorry Lindsay" over and over.
Next a woman dressed in a suit with an FBI badge on the breast pocket stood and faced me. I had the strangest feeling she could see through my eyes to inside my head. "My name is Meghan Reeves and I got kicked off my show Numb3rs because I was transferred to the east coast. And I had to break up with my boyfriend who just got back from space." She sat and 'humphed'
The woman next to her stood and smoothed her long flowing dress. "My name is Melinda Gordon and my show Ghost Whisperer was ruined because my dad wasn't my dad. And he tried to kill me. Sweet huh?" She turned to the air next to her and muttered "go away…Fine." She turned to me and said "Josh wants some chicken."
I crinkled my eyebrows and gave her the most confused look I could.
"She see's ghosts." Just about everyone said in unison. I nodded my head. "Ohhhhh"
The red head who had greeted me stood up. "My name is Jenny Sheppard and my show NCIS was ruined because I was killed off and then after they find out who killed me they pulled a House with Gibbs' team and sent them all off the show." She looked over at Amber. "No offence."
"None taken" She replied. "That show went down hill after season 3."
Everyone turned to me expectantly.
"Well, umm, uh…" I stuttered suddenly nervous "My name is, uhh, Beth Turner, and my show was canceled."
Gasps were herd around the room.
"Oooo honey." Alexx patted my hand. There was a chorus of 'I'm so sorry' and 'things will work out.' strangely they actually made me feel better.
I'm gonna have to drag Mick along to one of these sometime.
