October 3

No news at this point but as encouragement I offer the timeline from the savefarscape campaign which resulted in PKW :

I also want to note the timeline from Farscape‘s cancellation to the airing of The Peacekeeper Wars for those getting depressed about the #farscapenow campaign.

—-Farscape cancelled September 2002

—-The Peacekeeper Wars begins production December 2003

—-Official  announcement that SciFi Channel will air The Peacekeeper Wars May 2004

—-The Peacekeeper Wars airs October 2004

Streaming, social media etc have led to us expecting instantaneous results to all things. Projects like Veronica Mars, Con Man and even the Miss Fisher additional funding seem to happen “overnight”. Veronica Mars had been in the works awhile and the production company was willing to put up an amount if it could be matched. Fans and likely the actors made that happen and exceeded the amount. Same with Con Man — the producers put up money (much of it their own) and again the fan match exceeded. Miss Fisher producers and primary actors met with Netflix US over a year ago to secure funding for a film. The amount offered plus money from other sources would allow them to make a scaled down version of the script. So they took to Kickstarter to fund some additional features. In less than 2 weeks they raised double what was asked. None of these projects had huge internet presence until the project announced. Our goal is to show Farscape worth the investment. I believe Brian Henson interested in pursuing it but that is hearsay from a reliable source. So until we hear the project is officially dead keep doing what you can, when you can.

Official hashtag surge is weekly on Sunday at 7 ET/1900 London. Retweet, reblog on any social media you choose Twitter,tumblr,Instagram and any others! Tag entertainment bloggers or streaming services or networks as many are also investing/producing revivals as well as original programming.

    I know you have a European and US time for your surges. I know from my other fandom it takes alot to trend. Have you considered a single time where ALL fans tweet at same time? I know it’s hard to find a good time, but it would increase traffic at one time. Maybe 4pm ET and 9pm London? Just a thought. Although, I can’t imagine the peeps we’ve been tweeting haven’t seen ANY of our tweets.
