I feel terrible because I haven't really been posting at CSS at all lately! I've just been so focused on twitter & helping to get word out about Save our Seeker stuff I keep forgetting to post here. But I HAVE been checking here to see what everyone has to say and I just want to say that everyone here is so awesome. I really believe we can get a third season because the show has the best fans!

My letter to handler which I sent yesterday:
Dear Mr. Hayes,
Hello! I am sure you are getting quite a bit of emails right now about the wonderful show Legend of the Seeker. I am unsure if you are the right person to email, but this email address was provided by a fan of the show. I recently heard that it has been canceled and wanted to email you to ask what the fans can do. Legend of the Seeker has a dedicated fan base around the world that will do what they can to bring this show back for a third season.
I don't know if you are aware of the way Seeker is aired but it airs at completely different time slots around the U.S. and the world. I live in Seattle, where it airs at 8 p.m. I have a friend who lives in California where it airs at 1 a.m.! Unfortunately, she is not able to watch it on TV and has to watch online after it airs. Right now the show has an average viewership of 2.5 million+, and I know with a better and more consistent time slot the ratings would greatly improve. It also did not have much marketing throughout its two years on the air. There were some interviews with the stars, but most were with small websites and places that do not receive a lot of visitors.
If we can do anything in this time to help bring Legend of the Seeker back, please let me know. I bought five more episodes on iTunes today for some fans to help improve the ratings on iTunes. Is this something we should continue to do? Do you know if any other networks are considering picking the show up?
Thank you so much for your time. And thanks to you and everyone at ABC for airing Seeker these past two seasons. As an original book fan the show is based off of, I was not disappointed. I would love to see more.
Kind regards,
Laura from Seattle

My tweets I just posted after finding out Bridget and Mike had confirmed the news:
- @bridgetregan @writtenbymikes Sad its ending but thank you for the 2 yrs. As a book fan, you brought to life the characters I love so much.
- @bridgetregan @writtenbymikes Let Craig, Tab, & Bruce know how much we appreciate their hard work. Can't wait to see what you both do next!
- Dear Legend of the Seeker fandom: thanks for being so awesome these past two years. I've made tons of new friends and ♥ you all.

I refuse to 100% believe it until it's confirmed by ABC. I've been sending emails but I'm not sure what else to do. Here's hoping it somehow gets saved..

Oh no I didn't even notice that! I hope not. The ratings for Desecrated were kind of low.. but I'm still keeping my hopes up. I've bought a few eps. on iTunes for some people of it to boost the episode. I just wish they would give Seeker more promotion and marketing, because I know people would love it.

I wrote letters, sent some persimmon to Tribune (idea from herblueeyes.com), bought the DVDs as soon as they came out, bought the soundtrack, and have been sending tweets like crazy to SyFy, Disney, talk show hosts, etc. I also bought some episodes for fans since I already have all the eps on iTunes and wanted to do more. And I'm working on contributing in the art area, but have been so busy I haven't had time! We should have a party if - excuse me - WHEN we get a season three.

The first time an episode airs I don't watch it legally. I don't have TV so I watch it online because I'm too anxious. As soon as it is up on iTunes, I buy it there however. I also bought the Season 1 DVDs and plan on buying season 2 when it's available.

Syfy just tweeted this: Got Legend of the Seeker from lots of tweeps. Don't know if we'd be interested in it or not. If I find anything out, will let u know.
(Also, can't offer any more eps, sorry! I've given to several people on Twitter also and can't really afford more. Thanks!)

Would anyone like an episode of Legend off of iTunes but can't afford it? I'd like to gift one or two to a fan. It'll help save the show! PM me if interested

I'm on Twitter and have been trying. It hasn't worked yet but this has really shown the passion the fans have.

I've sent two letters in the past, but now am amping up my effort! I sent dried persimmons to Tribune Broadcasting (idea from Her Blue Eyes) with a note about how much we love Legend of the Seeker and how I feel with better advertisting/time slot it can get millions of more viewers. I also sent another postcard to ABC yesterday. About to email WGN and others provided. Oh! And make sure to keep buying iTunes episodes if you guys haven't already.. I have two more to purchase and will be up to date! We're not going down without a fight, that's for sure.

haha I love how the "get along like a house on fire" phrase is used again. Craig used that in an interview.. is it an Australian phrase or something? I'd never heard it before that.
And Tab is gorgeous.
