How Do You Make An Online Petition?

[timepiececlock]

Seriously, gals and guys, I'm asking. I've seen them around-- I know fandoms do them a lot when canon messes up whatever pairing, or kills off whatever person.

irrel and I have decided we want to make our own fan petition, one that is way more awesome than "please make X/X canon!" and way easier for the writers/producers to respond to than "bring X back from the grave."

What is our petition going to be about? Good question! It's about the simplest thing in the world, for the show How I Met Your Mother:

We want Barney Stinson (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin Scherbatsky (Cobie Smulders) to have a kareoke duel.

That's it. That's all we want!

Simple, completely plausible within the show situations and characters, and moreover: potential for hilarity and fun way beyond compare. The characters have sung before on the show, but only in little bits or in places where it was done badly for laughs. Robin's character used to be a teenage pop idol in Canada who sang really cheesy pop songs, and [younger] Barney once sung a very embarassing, pathetic ode to a girl on a video.

Cobie Smulders's voice is decent enough in the "Robin Sparkles" videos that she could certainly pull off a great kareoke, and we all know that NPH can sing. But the show has never given him the chance to really sing, like a kareoke battle scene might allow. Not too mention that both characters are known for being extremely competitive, and would probably dive into a kareoke duel challenge with full-fledged enthusiasm and possibly take it way too seriously.

We believe that television should have more singing in general, and more NPH singing in particular. So we want to start a petition!

...but we don't know how. Help?

What about http://www.petitiononline.com/ or http://www.petitionspot.com/ (which has a way better design!). But even if we get signatures... how do you send it to the writers of the show? O_o
