We Are Fandom - Jericho and Supernatural Fans Joining Together
Yeah, I’m just a little behind lately.
It hasn’t helped that the Writer’s Strike, while starting to wind down, is the only thing that I can find anything about on the Great and Powerful Interwebs when it comes to Entertainment News. Jericho made a little bit of a splash in regards to the Strike when it first began, because it’s one of those shows that CBS could pull out of the can and show if the Strike lasts longer than what’s on its current schedule, but I have this strange feeling that they are trying very hard not to recognize that. Maybe it’s my latent pessimism.
On a more optimistic note, I noticed that Hannah over at Watching Supernatural had a wonderful post a little while back about a new group called We Are Fandom. What’s it about? The promote_spn community over at LiveJournal has much to say on this.
There are lots of different fandoms online, and some of them are in the same boat we’re in — their show is in danger of not coming back, or has already been cancelled. We’ve all seen ‘Save Our Show’ campaigns mounted by hopeful fandoms, and some of them seem to be successful. At their core, those fandoms are a lot like us, and they need the same thing we need — viewers. So we thought, what if we combined our numbers? Why not get fans of a couple of shows working together to support both shows? Both shows will benefit, both fandoms will benefit.
They cite The Nuts Campaign as one of the shining points of fans bonding together to save a show, and propose a collective grouping for Jericho and Supernatural fans to support one another.
Arabelle’s Alley has been posting Jericho/Supernatural posts over on their blog, getting the ball rolling, so to speak. Why don’t you help out too?
P.S. I am planning a big Christmas in Jericho Giveaway starting in the beginning of December… keep your eyes peeled for some great stuff.
