It has been a good week for the campaign despite the silence from key players. Our normal Twitter activity using the hashtag is a couple of dozen. During the anniversary Tweet fest it rose to over 400 different users from 4 continents ( shout out to Madagascar!). Anniversary week brought a couple of well viewed blog posts from @syfywire which were in turn picked up by tor.com. Getting the campaign media attention is important as that gets investor attention. Henson pretty quiet as usual but a sweet mention from writer Ricky Manning that was seconded by Anthony Simcoe. This is grassroots and I think we have to assume there is still interest in Farscape by those who can make it happen. It looks better for it to be fans motivated and coming together as we did in 2002 rather than fans being directed to tweet . I hope those who recently joined social media to participate will continue to tweet when they have time using the hashtag #farscapenow. Artistic types consider Instagram posts with the hashtag tumblr folks are pretty amazing and creative so check it out if you want ideas!

The Ides of March are upon us. We prepare for a special day, Farscape’s 19th Anniversary next Monday March 19th. Tweet your thanks, photo from favorite ep or a GIF that shows something you associate with Farscape. New to Twitter? it is easy and great GIFs can be found by clicking GIF and Farscape in the search bar in your Tweet bubble. Giphy.com also a great source! Retweet after putting Farscape or farscapenow in the Twitter search bar. Whether you want new Farscape adventures or not add the #farscapenow hashtag to let your Scaper love be tracked on Twitter. Also we are doing the retro #IAMFARSCAPE tweets to show we are not stereotypes!! Name/Handle, job, #IAMFARSCAPE. SpriteLady made some great graphics which can be found here for you to d/l. We can make a ripple in the social media world 😀 Do not fear remember SciFi Channel’s Bonnie Hammer once mocked us saying fans don’t want to do homework as a reason they cancelled Farscape. We are a smart and discerning fandom!!

Tag #BrianHenson with #IAMFARSCAPE and your name/handle, occupation,location if you want — second hashtag #farscapenow as well. Use one of Sprite’s graphics are GIFs to attract scrollers 😉
I get Twitter and social media are not for everyone but it is simple. Far simpler than what we had to do for Save Farscape. Many of you missed that campaign and have wished you could have been there. This is your chance!
I expressed my disappointment to Ben Browder and this was his reply:
I remain hopeful… but frustrated…
