Save The Seeker campaign tips

Tip #1: If you are blogging on Wordpress.com, you can use tags to create or populate pages like Save The Seeker. See the Save The Seeker blog for more examples.

Tip #2: If you blog ANYWHERE, please mention ABC Studios and Disney's names. Many companies are now monitoring the Internet for mentions of their names. You can let them know you want them to hear your voice by using "ABC Studios", "Disney", and "Legend of the Seeker" in your blog articles.

Tip #3: Link to as many Save The Seeker sites as you can. Don't make the mistake of just linking to one site. Link to them all!

Tip #4: Link to the Tweets of famous celebrities who join the campaign. For example, Felicia Day wants to Save The Seeker. She has almost 2 million followers. LOTS star Bridget Regan also Retweeted the slogan.

Tip #5: Do NOT link to bad press articles. Entertainment Weekly attacked the Seeker fan community yesterday, obviously hoping to provoke angry reactions. There are plenty of good press reports about the campaign, such as TV Guide's Save The Seeker article, Spoiler TV's Save The Seeker article, and The Examiner's Save The Seeker report.

Tip #6: If you see a Facebook "LIKE" button on any pro-Seeker sites, click on it (if you have a Facebook account). Help get the word out and help show people that these sites are popular. This is a new feature from Facebook and not very many sites have added it yet, but it should appear on more and more.

Update on the Save The Seeker campaign

So that was not Michael Hurst who Tweeted yesterday, just someone connected with Michael's Website (which is still cool).

In the meantime, The Torch Online and the Examiner have both carried stories about the campaign to save the Seeker.

The Save The Seeker blog has been posting updates frequently as new strategies are developed by the fans.

Fans are buying an ad in Variety, planning a Twitter Takeover on May 1, and are actively contacting U.S. sponsors of the show to ask for their support.

Some more visible Tweeters are also jumping on the bandwagon and retweeting the campaign slogans for fans.

Seeker fans are also voting for the show as Best On TV at the Faxo site. LOTS was leading by a wide margin the last time I checked the rankings.

ABC Studios and the Disney Company are, hopefully, aware of all this given all the emails fans are trying to send their way.

Follow Michael's Twitter account: MichaelHurstNow.

Thank you, Michael! We know you love the work you do and we hope you continue to work for a long time to come, but those of us who live outside New Zealand don't have many opportunities to appreciate what you do.

Fellow members of fandom, KEEP ASKING ABC NOT TO GIVE UP!

ABC Domestic Television, if you're reading this, have you checked out Tropins Blog? Look at the last paragraph:

If the show is so popular, then why was it cancelled? Tribune’s machinations may explain part of the problem but it could also be that Hulu and iTunes played a part in the Seeker’s failure to complete his quest. Is it time for ABC to launch a direct-to-Internet channel? Maybe that is a suggestion that the Seeker fans should put forward. It could help ABC save face and maybe spark a revolution in television programming that some feel is inevitable anyway.

That's all I'm sayin' -- FIND A WAY!

New Save The Seeker blog

Well, despite the fact that producer Mike Sussman and star Bridget Regan have both paid their respects to a great show, fans of Legend of the Seeker are pressing on with their campaign to save or resurrect the show.

To help people keep up with the details of the campaign, I've created a blog (at someone else's suggestion) called SaveTheSeeker.wordpress.com.

I'm a little behind in adding links to the blogroll. I've put out a call for volunteers to help edit the blog -- please contact me if you're over 18 and want to help maintain the blog.

And I would like to personally thank the owners of these sites for picking up the news about the campaign and running with it:

Legend of the Seeker Fans Raise an Army against ABC
ABC Television Braves Irate Fans over Fantasy Show
Look out, ABC! Here Come the ANGRY Scifi Fans!
Angry Fans Gear up to Demand ABC save the Seeker
Internet Fans Rise up against ABC to save Show
Legend of the Seeker Fans May Boycott ABC Sponsors
