Guinness Record Attempt on Facebook

Please continue to add your comments at the LotS Guinness Record thread on Facebook this month:
www.facebook.com/groups/269657990457/permalink/10150513278600458/
(If you're not already a member of the LOTS Facebook Group, you will need to "Request to Join" before you can comment. If you're already a member, you can comment right away on this thread:
www.facebook.com/groups/269657990457/permalink/10150513278600458/

*Comments should be at least 3 characters long, and follow the LOTS Group Rules:
www.facebook.com/groups/269657990457/permalink/10150599351250458/

We want to reach 2 million posts since another group is trying to beat our previous record of 1.2 million posts.
More information about this initiative can be found at www.twitlonger.com/show/jahf6q. There will be prizes as we reach specific milestones. Please stay tuned!



And always remember...

* A postcard or letter is always the better option, networks are more likely to respond to physical messages rather than digital ones.
Photos say more than a thousand words!
If you want to include photos of fans campaigning at the conventions, you can find the most current photo albums (and videos) at www.saveourseeker.com/cons.html

* Your letter can simply be a brief note, so long as it is clear you want more Legend of the Seeker.

* Postcards are both inexpensive and very effective.

* Be polite. The person who will read your message didn't cancel our show, 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 networks. Fans in Italy, Sweden and Romania have already succeeded in getting reruns back on the air after campaigning their local stations! LotS is also currently airing on the Disney Channel in Russia.

* We have Terry Goodkind's support!
kahlanrichardlots.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=s3&action=display&thread=4172



To tell the networks that the fan base is growing with 2.5M viewers per episode in Germany and Italy respectively. 'Legend of the Seeker' is currently also airing in France, UK, Finland, Sweden, Romania, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Turkey, Philippines and Croatia.
The show has an estimated ~15M fans worldwide.


The November 1st/2011 Tweetathon of #LegendOfTheSeeker trended at #19 Worldwide



To watch and support LotS on Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, & DVD [SaveOurSeeker.com store: www.saveourseeker.com/store.html )


[NEW]
Most importantly, when writing to the networks, remember to mention that ABC would be willing to sell LotS .
(but not when writing to ABC/Disney - ask them to look for a buyer, or when writing to a LotS producer - ask them to fight for the show just as we are).

Keep in mind that money speaks in Hollywood (just like in any other industry), and other shows have come back in the past either because of high DVD sales (i.e. Family Guy) or high *LEGAL* viewings (i.e. Arrested Development).
Buying or gifting the DVDs is the best way to get our show back.

Please note once again that a letter or postcard carries much more weight than an email, tweet or facebook comment.
Snail mail is always the best option.
If you want to send a Seeker-themed postcard you can find many ready to print cards already made at The Seeker Picture Repository.
You can find many beautiful fan made cards available for your use here: tinyurl.com/387adpf and SOS postcards with fans in costume: bit.ly/vOcgbd

Starz is going to develop another series with Rob Tapert as the producer, and it will feature an Australian actor:

www.deadline.com/2012/11/starz-spartacus-spinoff-julius-caesar-talks/

Got your attention, yes? Just not the series with the Australian actor that we are looking for...

That's o.k., it's been awhile since we have written to Starz, or to Mr. Tapert. Perhaps we can send them some more Seeker fan love, and remind them that the "LoTS" fandom is not going away?! Time to remind them that there is only one Tapert produced series that will satisfy us, with a certain Australian actor in the lead role, and that would be Mr. Craig Horner!

[deacon]

CBS has ordered a 13 episode series for next summer:

www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/stephen-king-under-dome-cbs-summer-395495

This shows that even the big networks are looking at smaller series to fill their seasonal schedules.

Keep on fighting #TeamSeeker!

Journey Book Campaign - December 2012 Holiday Cheer!




This month, we'll do something a bit different.... by adding some holiday cheer to the Journey Book Campaign.

We're asking you to buy a handful of extra holiday cards and send holiday wishes with a brief SOS message
to the networks listed in this post.
Something along these lines:
"Wishing You Happy Holidays and Hoping to see 'Legend of the Seeker' return in 2013."

If you'd like to include a letter, please do so.
It's always a plus.


-->Please ask for a 3rd season, or mini-series, or movie in your holiday card or letter.
Re-runs and marathons would be great too!

To watch and support LotS on Hulu, Netflix, iTunes, Amazon Instant Video, & DVD [ www.saveourseeker.com/store.html ]

[NEW] Most importantly, remember to mention that ABC would be willing to sell LotS when writing to networks. Not necessary when writing to ABC/Disney (ask them to look for a buyer), or a LotS producer (ask them to fight for the show just as we are).

Keep in mind that money speaks in Hollywood (just like in any other industry), and other shows have come back in the past either because of high DVD sales (i.e. Family Guy) or high *LEGAL* viewings (i.e. Arrested Development). Buying or gifting the DVDs is the best way to get our show back.

Please note once again that a letter or postcard carries much more weight than an email, tweet or facebook comment.
Snail mail is always the best option.

If you want to send a Seeker-themed postcard you can find many ready to print cards already made at The Seeker Picture Repository.
You can find many beautiful fan made cards available for your use here: tinyurl.com/387adpf and SOS postcards with fans in costume: bit.ly/vOcgbd

**Journey Book Campaign - Kickstarter Edition**

The 'Veronica Mars' Campaign ( ) has been a great inspiration for our 'Save Our Seeker' fight - they have raised over $2 million dollars in one day, which represents a record for a Kickstarter project.

We know that if the 'Legend of the Seeker' Cast & Crew organized a Kickstarter project, the fans will stand behind it. ♥

Please send a card or letter to the LOTS Cast & Crew listed below, requesting a Movie, Mini-Series, or Third Season. Tell them that you'd support a Kickstarter Campaign.
