Research SuperTeam (tm) needed

[fialka]

Wanted: People willing to do on-the-spot research projects. None of this requires specialised knowledge, just the willingness to do crazy things like watch Enterprise and list the advertisers, look up marketing contacts, help us round things up for archival and for press kits, etc. Most projects will require no more than an hour or two on the internet (you all hate hanging on the internet, right? Never go there myself :P), the problem is the staff here are all presently stretched to the max.

Rather than put individual requests out on the boards and pray for response, I'd like to gather a permanent SuperTeam of people that can be tapped immediately for on-the-spot research, as well as to work together to dole out the larger assignments between them.

So if you're looking for a concrete way to help *and* see instant results displayed on the site for everyone to use, this is a job for you. We've got tons of great ideas sitting on back burners -- help us do the basic legwork to get things started. Special preference given to those that want to discover the joys of living on-call on IM . :D

[Truemyth]

I'm ready, put me to work! truemyth@san.rr.com is my e-mail and I check it often. I don't have IM, but could if I was pointed in the right direction.

[akimbo]

:aok:

I love research. Anything I can hunt for on the net is fun. Anytime I'm home you can count me in. I'm only home at night during the week and I generally check my e-mail after 6 pm eastern on weeknights.

[Kithlyara]

I can help with things if absolutely necessary (ie no one else will step up and take care of it). I'm trying very hard to not over extend myself here, even though I'm having a lot of fun with the campaign! :D

If my schedule loosens up some, and I'm able to help more, I'll let you know. ;)

[drkseid]

I have mass quantities of spare time on my hands. Count me in! Drkseid1@aol.com

[Rhonda]

Research is one of the things I'm pretty decent at! Just let me know what ya need! :D e-mail me at espytwo@yahoo.com

[DrearaKger]

I can not do any of the television stuff as I cancelled my cable subscript, but if you need someone to do online research, call on me...I'll be around.

sheilabehr@yahoo.com
or
oqdrearakger@yahoo.com

second addy is probably better for contact as first is usually swamped with trash...

Sheila/Dreara

[Hegemon]

I'm interested and this seems like a good way to participate more actively in the campaign. alienchiq@hotmail.com

[scaper mary]

I wouldn't be able to do the TV stuff, either- I live in the UK!

I do have lots of time to research on the internet, though-- sign me up!:rollin:

mlaskin@mac.com

[BlackThorn]

As a writer, I end up doing a lot of research, and I don't mind it one bit. I'm game. My schedule has been wonky lately (some days I have an over abundance of time, and others I have very little.) So, e-mail me at fifthscape@lycos.com to work out the details and for IM information.

[NYPinTA]

Count me in! HGPrime@hotmail.com
I check my email numeous times a day.
I can help with the TV stuff. In our house we have 4 TVs- all hooked up to cable, 2 with VCRs. Locked and loaded.
:finger:

[guyricardo]

I don't sleep much night anyway. It would give me something to do. ;)

[elishavah]

You know I'm ready, willing and able.

[iflywormholes]

I'm game for some more work. Bring it on!

[StarsGoBlue]

I've got internet access all day and regular cable....and I write part-time (entertainment reviews and some features) for our city paper.

I'm your girl at ttariska@dns1.sjcoe.net!:cool:

[fialka]

I've put out two projects already, and I'm collecting stuff from the rest of the team that's been languishing unfinished. If I haven't tapped you for something yet, don't worry, I will <g>. I'll post the list of who's doing what here as soon as I've doled everything out.

Of the people who said they could do lists of advertisers from TV eps, could you pm me if you've got tapes of Enterprise from this season you could look at? I *know* you all taped FS <g>.

[fialka]

Right, of those who haven't already been tapped for a project, who's been taping Farscape this year?

And...still got work for willing hands, if you're lurking, looking for a way to help.

[grapeshot]

I've been taping the eps this year. AND I have all of the commercials that aired with the eps (except for 4.1). PLUS, I have a duplicate tape (4.8) that I made while in Oregon (I live in Wisconsin) which also shows the ads out there. --I'm not certain, but not all the ads are the same in all regions during the show.

I had promised to make a set of season 4 tapes for a friend, so they can catch up, so I'll be viewing them again anyway.

my e-mail is: saccodent@yahoo.com

[VBKatLou]

Plenty of experience researching the net. My job keeps me pretty busy, but I'm available in the evenings (usually check my home email after 6:00 EST). Here's my email.

kp223@erinet.com

[veelana]

I'd be happy to help. Give me a shout if ya need someone.

[rani23]

Hi! I'm a paralegal -- ie, professional researcher. I mostly work in telecom but trust me when I say I can do research. :)

Feel free to contact me at rani23@hotmail.com

I'd love to help.

[Gabriel]

Count me in! I like bizarre research projects.

Gabe_Fishman@watkinson.org

[loco2]

:D I am in desperate need of distraction. My number one son, okay, my only son, has just gone off to boot camp. I am all alone with free time and a passion for the computer.

I don't get UPN or the WB but any other research or projects I'm available for. Of course I've already told SA that I'd help with media contacts. Anything else I can do?


Chris

[fialka]

Hanging out this weekend, recovering from Halloween? Or...just hanging out? <g>

Saccodent is doing such a great job listing all the FS advertisers, we can't keep up. Anyone not involved in research for the media project who would like to spend a few hours this weekend looking up advertiser contacts, please send me an email: fialka@watchfarscape.com.

Also still looking for anyone who's got 401 with commercials and wouldn't mind listing the advertisers there.

Thanks! :aok:

[PamelaKathleen]

When it comes to saving Farscape, I'm always available. Please don't hesitate to ask for assistance!

pmlstrwrs@aol.com

[fialka]

Two of you kindly replied to my email address, but I can't for the life of me find the messages now. If you're still up for it, I still have two eps to hand out. I promise not to let your replies get drowned in my inbox again :)

Pamela, yours is on the way. - Thanks!

[fortysquad]

You need help with any research just let me know, and I'll do what I can.

[VBKatLou]

Hey - I sent my 'assignment results' to cofax on Monday (pm'd her here). Haven't heard anything - hope she got it.

Ready for something else if's there's anything else to do. Just pm me here.

VBKatLou

[fialka]

I got it, VBKatLou, thanks!

Last couple of eps are on their way to the last lucky volunteers <g>. Thanks to all of you who've worked on this project -- the addresses we've been sending out on the last lists were all from your hard work and they've saved us hours. I've done enough of this research myself to know how elusive those names are, so every one you've come up with is like handing us a sack of gold. Every letter is 100 times more effective when sent to an actual person, rather than a generic address.

As soon as I've got everything back I'll get the complete version up on the site. I'd like that to be by the 15th, so if you've still got stuff to research, double gratitude if you could finish it this weekend. If you're booked up with RL, no problem, just wing back what you have and I'll pass it on. We've got plenty of willing hands to pick up from those that need a rest.

[kaadaq]

Been participating quietly in the campaign for a while now, but I'd love to help out with a *small* amount of research, if needed.

[Cynicat]

I'm a graphic design student, so I've got plenty of computer access and time on my hands :D I love research!

I live in Sydney, Australia; so I'm not sure how much help I could be regarding advertisers etc, but I'm willing to help any way I can!
(I love the show and it was my dream to work on the Farscape set, so I sure as frell want this show saved! LOL)

Catch me anytime on thecynicat@yahoo.com (checked daily) :thumbs:

[uisceboo]

Let me know. I can do research.

[pandora7301]

If there is something I can do, please let me know. You mentioned watching Enterprise, which I was able to do last season, unfortunately, we are not getting it this season, for some reason. (We don't get UPN. If, somehow, Farscape ends up on UPN, we will be getting a sattelite, I don't care what it takes!!!)

I also have a small child, and due to work shifts, am virtually a single parent. Any legwork would have to be limited due to the young one. However, if there is anything that I can help with, I want to feel like I'm DOING something.

Please, let me know.

[Selena]

Count me in! I love research ... it's my middle name!

I've been jotting down the advertisers at Sci-Fi ... not just Farscape but Stargate SG-1 as well. They have quite a staggering list of advertisers so far.

[dave0073]

Hey, is a completely obsessed UK viewer any help? Given that I've got cable broadband with my job and I never do any work, I'm sure that qualifies me as "having some internet time". Anything for just one more fix of a Farscape series.

dave0073@yahoo.co.uk

[Darkness Ascending]

do people not ask questions these days? :grr:

what the hell do you need research on other tv shows for?
and what kind of research?

for all i know this is your job and you think, hey i'll get others to do it and will not have to do it myself :grr:

sorry, i question all i dont know or trust
... that covers most people :elol:

so what and why?

[grapeshot]

Before you get all snide, you might want to stop and think.

Once upon a time we needed research on media contacts (editors at various newspapers around the country) and research on advertisers' contacts. There are literally hundreds of newspapers in the US, and researching all the various editors at each one is quite time-consuming. We thought it would be a good idea to divide up these tasks. It is also quite time-consuming to track down the exact names of various marketing directors at various firms that advertised during the past summer's broadcasts.

This is a pretty old thread, and I don't know that we need this research anymore.

[Darkness Ascending]

ask movie firms if they would be interested in farscape, and if so how many fans would view the movie if it was made?

:(

[RuthW]

Hi! I'd like to get involved. I'm based in the UK, so it would probably need to be net based. Showing my ignorance, what is IM?
Ruth

[farscapefan4eva]

it means instant messaging i think

[heavy_fuel_crew]

Save this show????
:space:



...by all means, tell me what to do.

[akimbo]

Welcome heavy fuel crew and RuthW. Glad to have you on board. Plenty to do, just have a look around and pick something: letters are always the obvious place to start!

Akimbo

[doc47448]

If you need help saving farscape just tell me what to do. I'll be out of town until 4-8-03. But will check my e-mail as soon as I get back.:aok:

[yoursidemyside]

I'm in.

Of course, living in the UK may be a bit of a problem, but I'll do what I can. :D

[whatwasthequestion?]

probably far too late on the uptake as usual :(

but i am happy to be handed a task and a biscuit and put in the corner

so, e-mail: cheesychicken@lineone.net

[JadedLegend3]

Count me in!

I'm an english major...all I do is research! Things are a little hectic right now, but in a week or so, I'll have a bundle of free time! Let me know what to do!!!

One question:

Is any of the data mined so far available on the page anywhere? I'd love to see what has been found so far as I have some ideas that might help speed along progress. I'm specifically interested in information on the current comapanies who are bidding for Vivendi's Universal division. Thanks!

[khabs93]

Well, it looks like you've got plenty of volunteers so far, but if that doesn't stop you, I'd be interested in helping out.

I want Farscape back!

Hello fellow scapers,

I am responding to the post that requested volunteers to research "Enterprise" and write down the advertisers that support this particular show. Call me dense, but I fail to see how this will bring "Farscape" back to television or (dare I dream) motion pictures. I have another question; is the campaign for "Farscape" still on? Is there any possibility that another network will pick up the show? I'm addicted to that show like Rick James is addicted to crack. Please tell there's hope of the show coming back on the air.

Sincerely,
Jay Raval

Hi Jay welcome to the board! :) to answer your first question. I think the reason Enterprise is a good target is because UPN who show it are one of the channels/networks we are hoping will pick up the show. I guess the intent is to say to advertisers if you guys encourage UPN to get Farscape you can buy more advert space because us as fans will be watching and may buy your products.. In otherwords... we have money to spend... give us a reason to spend it on you guys by helping us out. There is always some method in our madness! :D



I have another question; is the campaign for "Farscape" still on?


*rubs eyes* have you seen how many recent posts there on this board? We are all very much still on as a campaign.... you can't keep us scapers still for a second.. we always have something on the boil... :)



Is there any possibility that another network will pick up the show? I'm addicted to that show like Rick James is addicted to crack. Please tell there's hope of the show coming back on the air.


There is always hope and there are always possibilities! ;0
