In terms of Facebook and Twitter communication, how do we do this exactly?

That is, if we were to start a twitter campaign, what are the common hashtags that are most likely to trend opposite the Realms such that WotC would notice?

#Realms

#ForgottenRealms

#FR

#D&DNextFR?

I know Ed is on Facebook, but is he also on Twitter?

For Ed and for other freelance designers, can anyone compile a list of their twitter account user names so we can perhaps format a twitter request that fits within the character limit and uses one or more of those hashtags?

Ultimately, I think it's a good idea for Realms fans to request that Wizards of the Coast use its freelance pool of experienced Realms designers to work on the next iteration of the Forgotten Realms.
Look for me and my content at EN World (user name: sanishiver).

Not a bad idea, that...

Hells yeah, the people that should be helping design are definitely ones that have shown they love the realms and love detail. That's Ed Greenwood, Erik Boyd, Brian James, and Steven Schend in my book. I'd love to see some George Krashos in there as well, even though I often find him stepping in my own waters and I have to make adjustments (seems we both favor the east).
Alavairthae, may your skill prevail

Here is a tweet I sent to Mike Mearls and James Wyatt with multiple links to the stuff linked on here. Please retweet or tweet something similar so they realize there are many of us.
