So Emily and I started talking about this in the Help Get SW Back on the Air Thread and wanted to get more input... The idea is to create a video compilation of So Weird fans sharing reasons why they love the show and thanking the cast and crew for their work. People can create vlogs or a written message to be read by another sent to an email set up for this project and I can edit everything together to create one video. Then we can tweet it to those involved with the show who have twitter accounts to let them know that the fandom is still around and in love with the show and hopefully generate more awareness about how great this show is. The LWD fandom did a vlog/fanvid compilation last year to show support after the sequel series didn't get picked up so here's the videos for it so you can have a clearer idea about what I mean:

So, when does everyone think we should get started (on getting the word out, at least) We should get Gabby's input. She probably doesn't know about this yet.
I won't be able to do anything over the next couple of weeks due to midterms/spring break.

Good question. I still have one more full week of work before I have more free time and then I want to try to make a promo vid for it.
I just set up a gmail for it-- soweirdrevival@gmail.com for people to contact.
Should we just stick to people sharing their stories about why they love the show or should we open it up to including samples of fanart and fanvids?

Do you guys want to start in April then? I think they can send what they want to be shown in the video. Fanart would be cool, I've never seen much SW fanart before! And if you guys or make a post with the instructions on what to do, I can copy it and post it on the tumblr, livestream site, twitter and anywhere else I can find!

We should definitely encourage fanart. It is severely lacking in this fandom!
I think an April start would be great. A month 'til finals for most, and post spring break, too.

I made a video promo for it, but just have it set to unlisted for now. I want you guys to look it over and tell me if there's anything I should change or add to it before making it live. I also set up a description for it so please check it out on the youtube page and let me know if there's anything that should be fixed/changed/taken out/added:

Woahhhhh, I love it!!! You're so awesome at making vids, Cat. I think all of the footage looks great. The only thing I would say is, if possible, maybe make the e-mail at the end of the video stay on the screen a little bit longer (like to the end of the video) even though it says to look in the description box for details. Otherwise, I think it's perfect!

Thanks! Good call on making the e-mail stay on there longer. I'm fixing it now and then I'll post it.
As far as starting to promote it in April, I think if we started April 1st people would think it's a joke so we could start on April 2.
When do you think we should set the deadline? I was thinking we could use a couple months to promo it and see how many responses we get. So maybe June?

Agreed! April Fools is the worst.
June sounds good to me. =]
