Season 6 / Kennard Family thoughts

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

Because filming for Season 6 is over soon and i am actually reading some Fanfics that include the Kennard Family or lets say Tinas parents there are some stuff thats driven me crazy over the last few days and specially nights . So i wanna write it down here to get it out of my head .

Before some people jump to conclusions, don’t worry this includes NO kind of spoilers. I have no idea what is going to happen in Season 6 so don’t worry.

Post weekend news

Monday, August 18th, 2008

So here comes another week around. It’s still August but filming of Season 6 is soon over so its important to push it a little bit harder. From some Sources we know that the Spin-off will start filming soon after Season 6 so we are close. Whatever you support (i hope you support our Tibette Campaign) you have to do it NOW. Its our LAST chance to get what we want.

This week Ads in several major Citys are running:

4 in San Francisco
2 in Boston
1 in Seattle
2 in Dallas
1 in Santa Cruz, CA
1 in Los Angeles

Thank you very much for this Allison.

And of course our Ads still run in over 25 Countrys over Google Adwords with actually 99.185 Impressions. So please Fans out there. Get the Postcards, sign the Petition and send a Email to Robert Greenblatt and to Ilene at OC. Its our very last Chance.

The petition is actually at 26,588 what is very good but we really need to push that and show Showtime and Ilene what we want. Now is the time to raise your voice and say loud and clear what you want.

Why we fight

Monday, August 11th, 2008

After another short and barely 3 hours of sleep a night, i am trying to figure something out. And because it seems to me that some people lose their faith i want to push them and myself a little bit up.

But before that, we are looking at where we stand. The petition is at 26,083 and the last count of the postcards i get is 1.048 and when everybody sends them to the 3 Adresses that means 3.000 Postcards and that is great.

But i need to confess i felt a little down this weekend too. I was writing for several hours at the postcards so i have time to think how could this all happen. (more…)

Mail-In Campaign

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

Hello all,

its already a hole week since my last entry. I have been busy with the Mail-In Campaign and here is a first picture.

and we pass another mark at the petition. We are at 26,034 and because of that we get over 1.000 entrys in one week. Its running very good the last days and when you look at the entrys it seems that this really means a lot to so many people out there. Thats so great because thats the reason we are doing this all here.

So thank you all out there and Showtime and IC will give us our reward later. And whats better as a

TIBETTE Spin-off

keep that in mind because its important. There still so many Stories to tell and we can make this.

So all out there please make your way to tibette.com or the petition and join us. And for all non Tibetters out there join us too because you can show the support for your favorite too. We need all of you.

So i hope everyone have a good start to the week and keep pushing. August is important and filming is in full mode in Vancouver. Show the hole Cast that we support them.

how to keep a girl inside

Sunday, August 3rd, 2008

Today i take a deeper look into “How to keep a girl” from geek in the pink. Its a sequel from her other story “How to lose a girl in ten days” what is based on the hollywood movie. But now enough spoiler for now .

Its time for the normal spoiler warning. When you haven’t read it yet please make your way to tibette.com and take a look. When you have seen the hollywood movie there is no need to read “How to lose a girl in ten days” but its very good too so when you have time give it a shot. But now its time for “How to keep a girl“.

campaign overview

Friday, August 1st, 2008

On July 31, we reached our 25,000 goal on the Save The L Word Petition. We all worked very hard for these signatures, but we did it. We placed ads in newspapers, magazines, various web sites, sent the petition link through e-mail, let all of our friends, family and co-workers know, to get those signatures. Many of us pounded the pavement at pride festivities passing out bulletins with the petition site on it. So many wonderful ideas – and we got the word out.

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/Save_The_L_Word/

Are we saving TLW? Yes, we are. Are we being heard? Yes, we are being heard – by both Showtime and Ilene. They are now talking about an L Word spin-off. Would they be doing that if we didn’t make so much noise about TLW being cancelled? No, I don’t believe they would be. But we wanted to be heard, and we are. But now is not the time to silence our voices. Now is not the time for us to rest or relax. We still need to be heard if we want that spin-off. Especially if we want Tibette to have that spin-off, which I believe we do. I also believe that Tibette are the only ones who can make a success of a spin-off, which is a win-win situation for the fans, Showtime and Ilene.

We’ve started a Tibette spin-off postcard campaign at tibette.com . The postcard is already made. All you have to do is visit the website, download, print and mail. The addresses are also posted for you. We are asking that you send these postcards to Matt Blank and Bob Greenblatt at Showtime and to Ilene Chaiken in Vancouver. We need to let them know we want a Tibette spin-off. We need to inundate the Showtime offices and Ilene’s office with these postcards, along with those growing numbers on the petition.

There’s also a poll on tibette.com where you can vote for who you want to have in the spin-off. As of today, it is overwhelmingly Tibette. Why do so many of us want Tibette? They are the ones who, I believe, represent the gay and lesbian community in the most positive way and have the most stories to tell. We still have many more to tell, too. Now is not the time to stop, but to take this opportunity, and advantage of Tibette’s popularity and positive influence, to continue on with our stories.

We need to have positive portrayals out there. Do I want Shane representing me and my lifestyle? No, I don’t. But I do want to be portrayed as someone who wants to love, be loved, have a family and home like other couples. I want to be portrayed as someone who has the right to marry like other couples. I don’t want to be portrayed as someone who can’t make a commitment, someone who wants to party and drink all the time.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us. So, let’s get out there and get even more signatures for our petition, send in those postcards, write to Showtime and Ilene, make phone calls. Spread the word – The L Word!!!
