Twelve hours straight with the "Save Farscape" campaign today. Sadly, the first five and a half of those were wasted trying to get the websites back online, or at least get someone to tell me why they were down. Today has been exasperating in the extreme and I have far to little in the way of results to show for it. But there is good news. Apparently the protest outside the Sci-Fi Channel offices in Manhattan went well today. Also, there are credible rumors from an inside source that UPN is interested in picking up the show, so people should begin directing more mail and e-mail towards UPN (see Nebari.Net for contact info.). I understand that CNN Headline News covered the campaign yesterday and today (again, see Nebari.Net to download the video from CNN), though I've yet to see the footage for myself. I think it's safe to say that a) the Sci-Fi Channel never imagined this sort of response and b) rarely has the cancellation of any sf television series prompted such an outcry from viewers. Right now I'm tired, exasperated (I said that already), pissed off, and almost out of ideas, but I really do think that, when all is said and done, we will have made a difference.
Oh, if anyone's interested in a bbs where the show's been a topic of discussion (among other odd and disperate things), join us at www.caitlin-r-kiernan.com/bbs. Newbies always welcome.
I may call it a night. I may be back later. I'm afraid if I sit down on something comfortable I won't get up again until dawn.
