And always remember...
- Your letter can simply be a brief note, so long as it is clear you want more Legend of the Seeker. ;)
- Postcards are both cheap and very effective.
- Be polite in your letters. The person who will read them didn't cancel our show, so we shouldn't treat them as if they did.
- If possible, try to argue that Legend of the Seeker would greatly benefit all parties involved in its resurrection. State that even with poor time slots, lack of promotion and erratic airing schedules, the series still managed to gain millions of dedicated followers. If given a chance, it could be one of the most popular shows currently on television!
- To request re-runs when we contact the networks. Fans in Italy, Sweden and Romania have already succeeded in getting reruns back on the air after campaigning their local stations!
- We have Terry Goodkind's support! [link]
