I got back from Atlanta about 6 a.m., slept about four hours, and woke from a nightmare. That's what happens when you mix too much Cajun food with too much Cuervo (thank you Jim and Byron), I suppose. Anyway, at once, all I could think of was the Farcsape situation and I was unable to get back to sleep again. So, I'm up, doing what I can. I've resolved to put most of my work on hold for the coming week, to have time to do the few small things I can do to try and add to the rising tide of viewers trying to save the show from vanishing down a one-way wormhole. All day today I'll be posting useful stuff, as I make contacts and gather information.
Please write letters. Tomorrow, when offices are open again, start faxing.
Here's something useful from Gigi Edgely's (Chiana's) website:

Free faxes are our friends. If anyone comes up with other free fax services online, please e-mail me the URL @ Desvernine@aol.com and I'll put it up here.
Also, here's a message from Anthony Simcoe (D'Argo) sent to Usenet that I just want to pass along:

Dear Friends,
What can I say? Yesterday I went to set. Things were normal,
discussions about the holiday's, ideas for next season - then the word
came.
Cancelled.
Poor Brian [Henson] has done EVERYTHING to make this happen but in the end...
I would just like to say thank you to everyone for supporting the
show. Farscape has been an incredible experience for me and I have
enjoyed every last second of it.
One of the greatest joys has been the fans - and I'm not just saying
that. The conventions have been a hoot and meeting and talking to
folks has been a blast. This show was claimed by the fans and we
happily gave it to you - Farscape was/is your show. Be proud of the
community you have built around the show - I know we all are.
I will miss D'Argo so much. It was such a transformation for me, which
gave me a lot of joy playing him.
I will miss too many people to mention. I have laughed every working
day for the last four years. What a gift!!!
I can't really think straight now - too upset and totally in shock.
I'm off to meet Gigi for a cocktail.
If someone could post this on the sci-fi bb for me that would be
greatly appreciated.
All my love,
Anth
Anyway, thanks to everyone who's writing letters. We still have a little time. We just need to make the best use of it that we can. I'll have www.nebari.net up as soon as possible, as a clearinghouse for contact information, and will post a link from this blogger to the website as soon as it's marginally operational.
