I think right now we have to see what effect our Print Ad had on the media and everyone else, and then decide what to do as the next part of our campaign.
It's getting harder and harder to continue the campaign so I don't know if fundraising would be as easy. If our ad doesn't have much of an effect, we might want to try and new strategy other than a print ad, especially because smaller ads get less notice too.
Just some of my thoughts, thanks!

I know these are both pretty much pipe dreams, as it would be IMPOSSIBLE to raise enough money.. but I think it would be cool to buy airtime during fox primetime and air commercial in eyes only cable hack fashion telling about how the underworld is upset over the cancellation of dark angel. or to buy billboard ads around the fox studios and office buildings and advertise dark angel messages..

An Eyes Only cable hack would be really cool, especially if we could get Michael Weatherly to do it.

So, has anyone got an email address for Michael?? I swear, that would be the maddest ad on tv ever!! It'd be so freaky!! 'Do not attempt to adjust your set' Wow, that'd be something else!!! To tell you the truth though, I dont think Fox would let you advertise about a show they cancelled....it'd be kind of like sleeping with the enemy almost.... But its a great idea!! I think the best way to do it would be to make a scene somehow, cause a big uproar about it, something very public....make the news!! make it onto Entertainment Tonight!! Bring back the Dark Angel!!! All I can say is, god speed, and good luck!! I'm behind the whole campaign!!!

well if you want to get ET'S attention..u either have to know sumone that is high up that works there....
or
and i know no one would do this.....
do a protest outside fox......that will get the attention of ANY thing that could possibly help us out......
or maybe we can email ET....or E NEWS.....i mean if a thousand ppl email them about it.....they will have to do at least SUMTHIN......
maybe e news is a better bet for that one.....
not sure what else....
keep emailing JC.....
and maybe bill gates......its a long shot.....but he is pretty darn rich.....and he might care if u say u love microsoft.....lol
hmmmm i might be able to do sumthin....dont wanna jinx it so i wont tell u now....
but if it works i will tell u guys......
i might know sumone.
ok thats all

I think fundraising is sort of our best bet, since we haven't really had a response from mailing people.

I think that we should see what response if any we get from the campaign on friday before we make any decisions. We need to know what works and what doesn't to be really effective. The ad during a fox show sounds great but it would cost a stack of money. It may be our only real option to getting noticed.

Hi everyone, I don't want to sound negative because I think you all are doing such a great job. But, it's just that I get the Hollywood Reporter in my area, and the ad wasn't printed in the September 17-24 issue. Apparently, according to scribbled, it appeared in a special Emmy issue. My point is, are you sure this is being seen by the right people? ? Have you considered purchasing a few of these copies and then sending them to JC, JA, Fox Execs, etc.? I think they really need to see the Dark Angel fan base. It would really be a shame if the most important people didn't see it.

"September 20th is great. Why don't I reserve the space now so that I can give you the best possible placement. This special issue is exceptionally well received because it is our DAY OF EMMYS special edition, so this issue not only gets distributed to all of our readership nationally (New York, LA...Chicago, Miami) this special edition goes inside all of the limos to the Emmys, so your ad will be seen by every major network, studio head, agent and manager in the entertainment industry."
The ad was in the Special Emmy Edition which was published on Friday - the above is a direct quote from the Hollywood Reporter rep.

I think its a good idea to buy a few and send it to the most important ppl we r targeting at the moment.
I also think that the cable hack would be absolutely fantastic, it will cost us money, but if we can get sponsers then it will be cool. I can just imagine the adreneline rush if I see the "Do not attmept to adjust your set, this is a streaming .... " So cool!!!
Anyways, I think we should continue the fundraising, while we still make up our ideas about what we r gonna do next, cause then, if we need the $$$ then its ready.
Good job everyone, u make me proud!!

Can we write to someone other than James Cameron? What about Charles Eglee? What's his address? Didn't he have "equal" input, or what was his contribution.
I am not opposed to trying another ad in not too distant future, but I do think we should see if there is a reaction to the "Emmy issue ad".
Would still like to see UPN, or WB or SciFi channels take Dark Angel up - I don't trust Fox to treat it well.

I checked the Sept/ 17-23 issue of the Hollywood Reporter at Borders and the ad was NOT in it. However, there WAS one for Farscape.
Any idea of what's going on?
