TheHollywood Reporter Ad is DONE!!!

[jadeshand]

Our one, our only illustrious Jul took her credit card, our ad design and a big smile to the offices of the Hollywood Reporter today, and we are now the proud owners of a FULL PAGE ad which will appear in the Hollywood Reporter weekly addition next Tuesday, May 27th.

And wait until you guys see what our wonderful mycattoldme, the designer extraordinaire, came up with! Take a gander at this:

That is a somewhat of a rough draft as some very minor things have been changed. But isn't it absolutely wonderful!!! :D

Big thanks to Jul for being brave enough to use her credit card for this and to mycattoldme for such marvelous work!

And of course, a huge thank you to you, Scapers. Be proud of yourselves. This was a wonderful project and we're getting a big, enormous, drop-dead gorgeous ad out of it!

[DeeGroovy]

Oh, wow! That looks great. Thanks so much for organizing this and thanks to Jul for all of her work.:aok:

[DeeGroovy]

Mucho thanks to mycattoldme too! Wonderful!:aok:

[jadeshand]

TOTAL: $2982.08

Mycattoldme: I'm just glad you're on our side! That's frelling fantastic.

Thanks to jadeshand for spearheading it and to Jul for sharging it!

:joy::joy:

[AyuRocks]

Simply beautiful!! Great work everyone! :)

:aok:

Ashley

[Stargate2077]

So what about the $2.92 left in order to reach the $2,985 mark? :D

[jadeshand]

Jul said she could handle the rest! :smokin: :smokin:

No, seriously, that was enough. Scapers - Life has indeed been good for us these last few weeks. Isn't it wonderful to be a Scaper these days?! :D

[BritAngie]

That's fabulous!!!

Fantastic work everyone!! :)

:D

[aeryncrichton]

Jadeshand, Jul, Mycattoldme -- all I can say is....
WOW!!!!!

Incredible job, guys! :aok:

And yes, Jackie, it is really great to be a Scaper these last couple of weeks!

:joy:

[Shipscat]

Jackie, That's great.

And Mycat, I LOVE the design. It's beautiful. For some reason it kind of reminds me of an old pulp scifi mag cover or something..(which is a good thing, by the way). :)

[DentArthurDent]

OK, well, there you go, putting me in AWE of my fellow 'scapers again. Between all the various individuals, especially Jul [way to put your money where your mouth is, toots!] mycattoldme [Sweet Layout, Ms. Artiste] and all the contributing factors [this means you Jackie...], morale officers and etc. Well this is another one of the good days, people...

Arthur Frelling Dent
'This stating to be one of those grandkids things...hey, Grandad tell us again about being a 'Scaper in aught3...'

[uisceboo]

<sniff> gorgeous!

[mysticalseeker]

:joy: :joy: :joy:

Jadeshand, Jul, Mycattoldme

You did a GREAT JOB with this project.
Excellent work.

And to all of my fellow Scaper's for digging deep
and giving from the heart ..... CHEERS !!!

[KellEy.. "red"]

that is a PHENOMENAL ad!!!! i stand in awe of all the people who put this together... i am absolutely speechless--- and that's HARD to do!!!!
:bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[PkTechSquirrel]

Thank you to everyone involved. The ad looks fantastic!

[Lagash]

I've been hoping all day to come home to this: full page add (I personally took it on faith it would be awesome--and I was right! :D). What a half-week! Farscape wins a threepeat for best show on television (cable or otherwise IMHO), Browder, Black, Kemper and Manning glitter with the Glitterati, Scapers abound at the ceremony, Tiriel et al photograph (thanks for the pix, gurnemanz!) and interview, and we Scapers, in 2.5 days raise three grand to thank the hundreds of people who made Farscape! A Testimonial to them and us. :aok:

I think we should use any leftover money to buy copies of the Hollywood Reporter and ship them to Australia for the Farscape crew. We did a good thing today, and the goddess will reward :aok:

[jondbrien]

I would just like to say that this is a group of people whom I am proud to say have truly amzed me. Right on guys and gals, we have done a great job, lets keep this high energy rolling.....WHAT"S NEXT!!!!!

:rollin: :aok: :rollin: :D :smokin: :rolleyes: :bounce: :love2: :joy: :thumbs: :party: :et: :huh: :lol :hi: :goof: :ejest: :jbox:

[AyuRocks]

I just thought of something..

When the X-Files ended, there were a bunch of projects to take out ads in Hollywood Reporter congratulating actors and creators etc. Each group focused on one ad, and they had links up for at least a month getting enough money to run a full page ad. But it took scapers 3 days to get the money to run it!! That amazes me. True, the X-Philes were split between many different projects, but I think it's safe to say there are a lot more of them than there are us.

So... YOU GUYS ROCK!!

It's great being a scaper!! :aok:

Ashley

[ajshipper]

To Jadeshand, Jul, Mycattoldme: You guys rock!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:joy: :joy: :joy: :joy: :joy:

[atomicblue]

----------------------------------------------------------------------
My first reaction was awe.......and then I said out loud "OH MY God" really softly and tears sprang to my eyes.This is awesome, and beautiful I really love the picture, the silhouetted people look like they are reaching for the stars.

So Cool! Does anyone know if there's a back order # for the HW Reporter? They haven't heard of it where I live, and I have to get a copy of this one to frame, to go alog with the Variety cover :) Great job everyone, I tip my virtual hat to you.

[trubador]

FRELL YEAH!!!
:eek4: I just wished the ad also stated "FOR THE THIRD FRELLIN' YEAR IN A ROW... FARSCAPE.... NOT STARGATE:SG-1... (you frellin' Sci-Fi Network nikniks)" :D

[AyuRocks]

:rofl: trubador!!!

Think SciFi would get the message? Bonnie - "If all the people that voted for it actually watched the show... " :P

[Red]

Thank you everybody who worked on this project and hugest thanks to all the donors and supporters of the project. Fabulous job 'Scapers. Really tremendous. :D

[JMax]

Gorgeous!

Thank you to all involved.
:love:

[Lagash]

You know, I felt guilty about 'diverting' funds from the library/military projects because their potential is so great. But, Frell, everytime I look at the Saturn pictures and now hear it said Farscape is no longer 'if' but 'when', I think we needed to make an icon in a periodical to mark the date, the threepeat, to celebrate our community and Farscape: when is now, not if.
Scapers Rule :aok:

[VBKatLou]

What can I say? We are really on a roll this month. Jadeshand, Jul and mycattoldme - fantastic job! And for all who donated so quickly - YEA TEAM!!!

[Mickie]

Lagash, don't sweat it, the Military and Library projects will be around for a long time to come. The saturn ad was an immediate concern.

Scapers are so coordinated and cooperative under pressure, it really makes me proud to be associated with all of you

Mickie

[Jul]

Thank YOU to jadeshand, mycat, the very generous donors, the rest of the savefarscape.com team that helped out on this one, and the supporters of this project. We couldn't have done it without you :D :beer:

[Rhonda]

Wow! :eek: Absolutely frelling fantastic!!!! Mucho grande impressed!

[Kerlin]

Jadeshand, mycat, and not least of all Jul, you all ROCK. I am in utter awe and can't wait to get my hands on a copy of the Hollywood Reporter next week!!!

[DangerWillRobinson]

That ia a frelling good looking ad!!!!!!!!!:eek:

[GeekedOut]

Really beautiful ad. Nice work everyone!

[Angel Sarah]

Wow! I mean...just...wow!!! The advert is absolutely gorgeous, and can you say generosity?! With a capital G! I'm saying this so often I think I must be repeating it in my sleep - Scapers RULE!

Thanks so much to all the folks involved, you're going to make a lot of people very, very happy indeed. So how many copies are we sending to Henson? :angelgrin

[Lagash]

Mickie--
Thanks for the thoughtfulness. Jadeshand <Jackie> did such a nice writeup, I was immediately drawn in and couldn't stop. It's a great add (mycat, thanks from the artistically impaired), excellent timing, and great fun. No regrets, great to be involved :D
Lagash
And Jul, there's a lot of you here too. :aok:
(I'm beginning to love these smilies. god forbid someone should teach me how to make them move--watch out Tiriel!)

[Bandana Girl]

Yea!!!
Congratulations!!!
The add looks amazing!!!
Thanks to everyone involved for all your hard work!!!!:joy: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[anomia]

That ad is simply stunning!

I LOVE THIS FANDOM!

[Dominar of Action]

How did I miss responding to this thread! :eek: Great job guys!

We ARE Farscape!!

:olympic:

[jeffrabb]

Sheesh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Man............have I been late picking up on threads this week!!!!:fear:

Anyhow.....................................

:colors: :joy: :colors:
WELL DONE!!!!!

Jeff

[Dante'-wants-blood!!]

absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sococlear]

Great job! Thank you!

[Hope]

What a beautiful ad. Simply beautiful!!!
Brings a tear to my eye. All involved, YOU ROCK!!!!!

[gurnemanz]

And that means, "Applause, how clever, all of you!"

Jul, mycat, Jadeshand, donors . . . please take your bows, this is your moment, and while there will be others, be very frelling sure to take THIS bow at THIS moment!

Because what the events of the last three weeks really mean . . . is that Barry Diller and his ilk are wrong. They do not have all the answers. They are poseurs, and those who lick their boots and fawn are still using spit, not nectar.

There are enough of us who reject Frontal Lobotomy Television to constitute an audience worth reaching.

We will by-ghod be respected, or we will take our business elsewhere, or we will build our own entertainments! We have the skill, we have the will, and we know who to call (and who to ask to make the call).


"Nyah-nyah-nyah-NYAH-nyah, Mr. Smartypants Mogul! Move!! You are in my light!"

And we don't need a frelling home shopping tackiness to tell us what's important in life. The best thing to do with *that* colossal waste of bandwidth, sirrah, would keep it out of sight of the rest of us, but require some attention from your tailor!

Cynics are weak, in the last analysis, because they lack hope or conviction. Their scorn is none of our concern.

Panderers are a slime that evaporates in the strong light of day.

And we who imagine, dream, and would build accordingly . . . are fortunate, now, to be in each others' company.

Yeah, it's a good day. Something is being built, not destroyed. Well done, y'all.

Brian, David - please tell us when we should gather housewarming presents in Oz.

[waltersgirl]

thank you to everyone that donated. i am beyond amazed at everyone's continued generosity and dedication to the campaign.

[Antrobus]

Great job to all involved! The "ad" is very eye catching and touching.

I'm amazed at how this group of dedicated Scapers can pull somthing like this together so quickly! Not only does it show determination, it also shows how useful electronic media has become in any kind of campaign.

I'm impressed, delighted and am glad I could have some small part in this venture - even though I'm at the far corners of the Northeast US. and miles from LA.

[jadeshand]

I now nominate gurnemanz as Save Farscape's official Minister of the Pulsar Light! :rollin: :rollin: :rollin: :rollin:

Wow, man!!! That was an incredible tirad..eh...speech! I loved every second of it! :D

Community is a beautiful thing, isn't it? :love: :love: :love:

What a great ad. It looks fantastic Jul. Great work one and all.

Just one suggestion, can we add the year 2003 on it as Farscape has won that award in the past more than once - or is it too late?

[Dominar of Action]

"Nyah-nyah-nyah-NYAH-nyah, Mr. Smartypants Mogul! Move!! You are in my light!":rollin: :rofl: :rollin:

And yes, Selena, I believe it's too late -- the ad had to be turned in yesterday.

[Selena]

:( Always a day late and a dollar short!

[Digger]

As John Crichton might say.... YEEEHAW! That's a great add. It's sure to get lots of industry attention too!

[Atana_Mirtai]

As my dear friend ArthurfrellingDent said over at Kansas

I'm getting all misty eyed and stuff!!!!

I was telling my mother about all this the other day and she looked at me and said.

"Tell me do you really think you'll get your show back in some form or another?"

I just grinned (something I haven't done when asked that question for a loooong time)

she smiled back and said "Yeah, me too."

[Shipscat]

We can't add 2003-I think technically this award is 2002. Next year's award, when Farscape wins, will be 2003.

[Lagash]

Just stopped in the Brighton, Michigan Borders book (and coffee) store. Found a copy of the May 6-12 'The Hollywood Reporter!"
It's an 8.5 by 11 inch kind of newspaperish looking magazine, about 68 pages total. It says 'The Reporter' boldly at the top with 'Hollywood' in thin handwriting between and over 'The' and 'Reporter.' I almost missed it the first time! But it's here in SE Michigan, probably 2 weeks old, but here. Hopefully all you Scapers will be able to find it! :D
Lagash

[NYPinTA]

WOW! That ad is just beautiful.
You all rock!! :aok:
I didn't donate because I was waiting till Payday. I didn't think you all would get enough for the full page ad that quick. What the hell was I thinkin??:rollin:
Well, more for the Military and Library fund then.:D

So when willl it be in the Hollywood Reporter? I was so busy qazing in awe at the ad, I may have missed it...


:love:

Duh, I just saw it! May 27th! (Not to self: Must get glasses...)

[jadeshand]

Tuesday, May 27th, NYPinTA

Maybe we should ask Twich to call Bonnie Hammer's assistant (the nice woman who verified that she received and forwarded our brassieres) and give her a heads-up to expect a teensy weensy bit of mail next week.... :lol

gurnemanz.......could not have said it better, that was really cool. I dentified with everyhting in your post. Especially about "get out of my light!
Okay for all of us that live 30 miles from town......is there a way to order back copies of the HW Reporter? I don't have access to the magazine, and I want to get my hot little hands on a copy.
Can someone pick up extra copies, and I'll pay for them + postage?
I sure would love to fold over a copy, and mail it page up to Skiffy. Heh heh

[Susana]

Atomicblue, that's a good idea. I'll start an adopt-a-scaper thread to see if we can get volunteers to go buy them for us ;)

[kymom5613]

All I can say is WOW...
Again, I've never been involved in trying to save a show, or the whales, only my relative sanity! LOL
As I don't have this vast experience of other fandoms on which to draw, I cannot say that this is an exceptionally rare, I only can say this: If we were running "the world" I'd say that we'd have things in hand and taken care of in short order. Not trying to blow wind up anyone's skirts/pants here, stating what I see...I was in the Army and grew up a Navy brat, and I can say with THAT experience, that I've never seen a more well-organized, cohesive group of folks. If there is an idea, any goofy idea (mine included - "Hey! Change that channel back, I was watching that!") is batted around, refined, and put forth (BraScape, anyone?) into action. Impressive comes to mind, but it falls short of my true feelings, which are so much more than that.
I'm so proud to have been part of this, even though I'm relatively late to all this. Thank you for giving me a crusade and some *more* purpose in my life. Y'all are the best.

[Lagash]

Susana and atomicblue--
Here in Michigan the Hollywood Reporter may arrive a week or so late, but I saw the May 6-12 issue today. I'd be happy to buy as many as I can for redistribution if other Scapers can't find it. I'll follow your adopt-a-scaper thread and see how to work it with as many as I get minus one. It'd be kinda cool if their May 27th issue sells out, wouldn't it? :D

[Under A Dying Sun]

amazing work! is there anyway we can put something like "3 years in a row" anywhere on there? :)

[JA_Shipper]

And Scapers come through again!! :beer: Way to go, y'all.

And Jackie and Jul, you guys rule!! :aok: (I suck as a poet and I surely do know it!)

[SweetpeaAeryn]

The ad is fantastic!!!!! Thank you!!!!!! :)

[chri-baby]

That is fan-frelling-tastic you people are truely awe inspiring.
It would be a crime if this show did not come back, not only for its own stellar worth but for the loyal , steadfast and unrelenting caliber of fans it has garnered.
my congratulation to you one and all, for to you the right thing truely does start at the beginning of the day!
