It's (going to be) freaking BIG

Jun 29, 2009 05:19

Emails, letters, postcards... Have we made an impact? Are we getting through to Warner Brothers? Are they hearing the united voice of the fans crying out for more Sarah Connor Chronicles? Maybe, but we think it's time to up our game. We think its time to show Warner Brothers that we mean business:

For. The. Win.

It is so hard to keep a lid on my hope now.

You and me both. We've got the usual letters, emails and postcards. We've got a petition. We've got stickers going at the grass roots level. We've got press packets coming up. And now a FREAKING BIG billboard in front of WB. That's hope, baby!

I posted this at SCS too.

Freaking big and right fucking out there. ...I wanna drive the truck. Even though that's a very bad idea because I am a poor driver.

This fandom is going to be the death of me, especially come September, but damn if I'm not happy that we didn't give up. Not giving up.

I think I've become obsessed with watching that donation meter. Also I wanted you to know I loved your icon so much I had to make one for myself :D

And this is why I never go to sleep before 5am.

Just donated $20. *squish* No fate, baby...

roxybisquaint June 29 2009, 17:04:46 UTC

Yay! *twirls you*

This IS going to happen. And we ARE going to get more TSCC!

Funk yes. Pimping this.

roxybisquaint June 29 2009, 17:05:31 UTC

Yes yes yes... pimp pimp pimp!

Mobile Billboard is a good idea. I think you will be able to reach this goal. The blogs will cover this too, its more interesting. I had a suggestion. Is that the final billboard? Maybe there should be a terminator head graphic or arm so people know, or will that get you sued?

roxybisquaint June 29 2009, 17:18:42 UTC

Yeah using copyrighted imagery could get us in trouble, so we're using original artwork only on this. That's not the final design, but it'll look similar to that.

Honestly, I think it would be most effective if there was a donation site wherein people actually pledged money for the actual BUDGET of the next season/movie. And then maybe send a birthday card to whoever the relevant executive is with a link to the site when we hit a relevant threshold.

roxybisquaint June 29 2009, 20:00:34 UTC

Nah. Considering it takes almost $3million to produce a single episode, we wouldn't even make a dent in one. And then what would we do with the money? Hand it to WB? Refund it to everyone because we'd made our point?

bobmacpharson June 29 2009, 22:05:50 UTC

I specified "pledge" for a reason, although I didn't make it very clear what I meant. What I DID mean was that everyone puts their name, email, and the amount of money they're willing to donate. The money only gets donated if the target threshold is reached ( ... )

Ah well, I'm sorry you're not excited about this one. I'm way excited. I also think we still have a shot at more TSCC. The DVD doesn't come out until Sept 22, so I'm using that as a marker. If it sales are mediocre then I think our chances may be done. If it sell really well, then WB than all the efforts the fans are putting in could help be a deciding factor for WB to make more.

Some people never give up. Some people always fight.
