The WPAP Fan Letter Project 2008

This is something we have thought about for a while and with Billy returning to the Chicago stage at the end of the year we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to provide a “one off” chance for our site visitors to write to him.

Why we are doing this

On a weekly basis we receive so many emails for the attention of Billy that it is impossible for us to forward all of them without making a nuisance of ourselves, which is the main reason we state on the site that we cannot forward letters.

With the upcoming play in Chicago, A Dublin Carol, we thought we would be able to create a project to actually get some of these letters to him. 

We have received a great number of emails from fellow fans who have said they have always thought about writing a letter to Billy but have never done so because either they were embarrassed (there really is nothing to be embarrassed about), or were worried that he would not actually see it due to the volume of fan mail he receives.     Other fans have shared their concern with us that when he leaves CSI they will no longer be able to write to him because the CBS address will no longer be valid. 

So, we wanted to give fellow fans the opportunity to actually write the letters they want without the worry that Billy would never receive them.   This is why we have created this project.  As a good friend put it “a way to get personal, without getting personal”.

The Project

We are inviting our site visitors to email to us their letters addressed to Billy, or scan for us your sketches/artwork.   We will print them all, collect and display them in a classy binder and have them delivered to Billy during the run of A Dublin Carol.   We cannot guarantee any responses, but we can guarantee they will be delivered.     We will contact Billy beforehand to make him aware of the project and to expect a package from us.

Rest assured that we will not be reading your letters; we will treat them as private.  They can be as short or as long as you wish, we will just print them out with no cost to you and you will not have to worry about finding the time to get to the post office.     Anything sent in color will be printed out in color. We will arrange everything for you.

There is plenty of time to work on your letters or artwork as our deadline is 31st October 2008, this gives both you and us plenty of time to get the package ready.    At this time we do not know the exact date it will be delivered, but as soon as it is we will let everyone know. We will also post regular updates on our LJ in respect of the project.

You can write about anything you like.  If you want to write but you are not quite sure what to say, here are some ideas:

Really, anything you want, however we advise against declaring your undying love for him by typing "I love you" in the biggest size font you can find, this is really a great opportunity so don't waste it.

We will print out and include every letter sent to us.   Again, this will not cost you anything.  We will also take a photo of the final gift for everyone to see.

The only thing we ask is that you use your best judgement in respect of the content of your letter, and please do not include any “fanfic” as this may make Billy a little uncomfortable if he were to read any.  If you do want to send digital media, i.e. videos, we will put these on a CD for you, but we are not sure if Billy would have the time to actually view these, so we recommend sticking to letters and artwork.     If you are specifically writing for an autograph, so this project does not cost you anything we will not be able to supply any return envelopes or the cost of return postage for you. If you request an autograph you do so at your own risk.   Billy is very good at sending out autographs to his fans via the CBS address, so if this is your main reason for writing, we suggest CBS is the place to write, plus it will be quicker.

Unfortunately we will not be accepting anything by snail mail, emails only.

We have set up the email address at the bottom of this page for you to send your letters to.   This address will only be valid until October 31st.   Please do not ask us questions via this email address it is for letters only.  If you have any queries, etc., please contact us in the usual way.

We will be offering out “treats” during the project. The first 25 letters we receive each week, starting from Monday 0.01 am (GMT) will receive a package of 5 rare Billy goodies to download. All treats will be sent out sometime after 7.00 pm (GMT) on Sunday each week. Good Luck.

With all that said, we are looking forward to receiving all of your letters and excited to be able to do something like this for fellow fans.

All the best, The Girls of The WPAP
