Craig Horner Project

[lotslover]

I'd be happy to help out wherever, but I have no clue how to do it and I'm too busy to try to do something like that all by myself.

Would love to be a part of it though if we got a few of us together to do it!! ;D

*waves* Noob here.

First off I love this Thanksgiving kinda sorta letters thing. As for privacy and whatnot.. *Shrugs* Different folks and all that. Some Celebs actually run their own Websites (Jewel Staite does just that) Others.. Like Nathan Fillion use Twitter as "Official" website for updates.. (Or random BS lol)

Then again you gotta keep in mind that some of our favorite Celebs are, in fact, internet illiterate.

Just another possibility.

I also like the "thanksgiving" theme for letters to Craig. If we can't do it in time for the actual holiday of Thanksgiving, it's alright. We can say "thank you" to him at any time of the year. Of course, after Thanksgiving comes Christmas and New Year celebrations. Hopefully we will have an address or P.O. Box to send things to him by then.
And, as fans of Craig Horner (and, not to forget Richard Cypher / Rahl) we know what important date is coming up in January - Craig's birthday.

Just heard from Laura at SoS. Craig's agency in CA finally got back to her and said any fan mail for Craig should be directed here:


Craig Horner, C/O MARQUEE
The Gatehouse - Studio B
188 Oxford St
Paddington NSW 2021
Australia


Not sure where he actually IS at the moment... there was rumor a couple weeks back that he was seen in Sydney. We really have no way of knowing, but this is what the folks out in LA said to use.

So start writing letters and let's show Craigy how much we love (and miss) him!! Wherever he is, Marquee will get it to him.

[deacon]

Thank you for posting the address. Craig is probably making frequent trips back and forth (poor guy - it is a long flight!). His family is in Brisbane, so he probably tries to spend some time with them when he is back in Australia.
Being as things have been going so well with Starz lately, hopefully his needing to visit his agent is simply to re-negotiate a contract for "Seeker". Being as the series was officially cancelled, and a new season would most likely be with a new producer and distributor, all of the cast would have to sign new contracts. Then, instead of flying back and forth from L.A. to Brisbane, Craig would only have to fly to New Zealand. Anyhow, I'm getting side-tracked now.

Thank you jlyn for posting the address. Even if the cards and letters arrive a little late, we can still say "thank you" for all that he has done to bring us two great seasons of Seeker.

And, let him know how much we are looking forward to many more seasons as well.

[deacon]

Just a reminder to everyone that will be sending letters or cards to Craig, this is an Australian address, so don't forget to use the proper amount of postage. Otherwise your card will come back to you so that you can add more postage, and take that much longer to reach him.

[lotslover]

YAY!! Thanks for the address, jlyn!! I'm so excited!! I'm going to send my Craigy a letter!! *happy dance*

And deacon, I love your way of thinking! I only hope and pray you're right...

[Khei]

*Ponders* Hmm.. I have like 3 $1 stamps left..

Anyone have any clue how much postage a letter would run? They increase the price so often anymore I can't keep up!

[sybil]

deacon & jlyn, I want to thank u both for all of this. I don't have any idea what it would take to have an "official site". I think that this site is as good (if not better) than any "official site" could be. I also think that Craig would be impressed beyond words to see all that you've done, all of you.

It would be great to have an address to send notes, cards, little gifts, and such. An address that we know he'll get what ever we sent to him. I think he'll get a kick out of it. We can make him feel like a million dollars. Blessed Be.....

I know when I posted a letter to him in NZ last year, it was from LA to NZ 92cents. So take your first one to the post office and find out for sure, then buy a few extra stamps.

Will someone be cross posting this on othe boards? I don't know how many people read this board, but it would be nice to get others involved as well. And thanks for finding out about where to send the letters. Hopefully the more expensive postage won't turn anyone off.

[deacon]

I think that postage to Australia from the U.S. is 98 cents now, but as others have said, I would check to make sure. The postage amount changes often these days.

I wish that we could do more for Craig, but I suppose that this is a good start. Bridget has such a strong fan following, as does Tabbrett. I'm not saying this as criticism, I actually mean it as a compliment. Those fans love their favorite actresses, and it shows. From reading through these threads, it is obvious that there are plenty of Craig Horner fans out there, we just need to organize and show some of the enthusiasm that the Bridget and Tabbrett fans show.

As for the Thanksgiving theme, I think that we have some confusion. I was thinking more along the lines of saying "thank you" to Craig for his work on "Seeker", his work as an actor, and as a person, etc. It is funny what several of you have said, imagine his face if he recieves hundreds of cards with turkeys on them.

Although, we could have fun with this. It could become an annual on-going tradition that we do for him, and no other Seeker cast member. Every year send him hundreds of Thanksgiving cards. It will give him something to talk about with his fellow cast members, and his family and friends.

In the meantime, we could start brainstorming as to what we can do to acknowledge his birthday in January.

[crystal]

It's great that you're doing this. I think Craig has a ton of fans, but without being on Twitter, he's just not in people's consciousness all the time.

What about spreading the word to other forums? This is a great place, but it's just one among many. A lot more fans can be reached by posting this information at other places. <hint, hint>

[Khei]

I can think of many MANY things we could do as a group to show our support!

Admittedly many of them would comes from things we did back in the old "Bunk" on Serenitymovie.org for Nathan Fillion.

We've made buttons with screencaps or drawings or favorite quotes etc. We once got together and made a "Brag Book" that was presented to Nathan at Moonlight Rising. (Admittedly it was easier to present him with it in person (Well *I* wasn't there) because Nathan is always at cons SOMEWHERE. but we could just as easily mail such a brag book.

It's awfully late to pull off the Bday card that we did for Nathan as January is right around the corner but we could make plans for the following year..

Just a few ideas that have been done in the past.. I can provide more details of anyone thinks any of these ideas are something we might wanna try. (The Brag book was AWESOME IMO)

Sure Crystal, feel free to post the info wherever you think appropriate.


Khei, we did have some 'big' organized packages (SeekerWall and LotSVideo project) sent to Bridget, Craig and others earlier in the campaign. I think Deacon's idea was just a quick - show your love for Craig by sending a bunch of fan mail at once. November was chosen since that's when Seeker first premiered in 2008 -- but we were delayed a bit in waiting for a good address to send the letters.

[Khei]

jlyn I've noticed there's been some awesome big projects. (And I get the November thing.. Admittedly I get confused easily and have Thanksgiving on the brain atm (Dear GAWD the ribbons! ARG!))

I was just mentioning a few projects that were fun and rewarding to do to show our support.
