I discover this morning, as the last dregs of the big storm pass by and the cloudy sky is flat and washed thin, that I've let myself get far too deeply involved with the "Save Farscape" campaign. I haven't written much of anything since I finished Low Red Moon, and that was before Dragon*Con. It's not that this thing is not worth doing. It is. It's just that I've been giving time I haven't got to give. And soon it has to stop. Also, in the last twelve hours or so, I've been treated to a more unpleasant side of such things, where struggles by a few fans for attention and ego-stroking are more important than results. I can't let myself become a part of that. It's ugly and sad and demeaning to the show and its creators.
Anyway, there is some good news. I'm co-coordinating the rally in Atlanta on Oct. 5th and it looks like we will have Lani Tupu, Gigi Edgley, and Paul Goddard present for the evening's functions at The Chamber (there may also be an event with them on Friday, location TBA). It's taking a lot of work and money, but it looks as though we'll work this out. Donations to the airfare fund to get them here from Oz are being accepted at SaveFarscapeCentral and as little or as much as you can give will be greatly appreciated. It's a huge publicity boon for the show. We already have CNN people planning to attend the evening event. If you want more details, write me at Desvernine@aol.com. And yes, I'll be there, too.
All this week I've been trying to get out of here and make it to Atlanta. Today I'll try a little harder. The roof didn't leak. And I really need to unplug and get some time away from this apartment.
