After almost 2 weeks i am back . I had some really big Exams to do. But now i am almost done with all. I am now MCSE: Messaging and with a little help from my favorite couple i am MCITP: Enterprise Administrator tomorrow too.

But before i go to some nicer news we need to talk about a little unpleasant topic. Some people sign the petition more than once. And after close to 6 month of hard work from us we are not happy about this. We are trying to save the l word AND we did it in some way. A Spin-off is a way. And hopefully it will be tibette. BUT we wanna do this in a good way. And signing the petition several times is NOT the way we work. So whoever do this need to know that this is NO help. So please stop it.

I know that we all have the same goal but we wanna do this the right way. We are at 28,368 and that is great. And i believe that most of them are legal and i hope Ilene and Robert will see that.

And for the people who forgot for what we fight a small reminder:

And i deeply hope that all of you send the Postcards too and the Emails and visit IC on ourchart.

For the people that will go to the L5 at Blackpool i have good news .

I will be there too and i have all set up. I will stay from thursday to monday at the Norbreck and i hope i will meet some of you . And of course we will have a good time with JB and Lu .

For now i am done but you will hear from me soon .

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.

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.

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!!!

Tibette Spin-Off Campaign

Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

Hello JB and Lu Fans,

and all other L Word Fans too. It seems that the L Word will really live on in a way after the end of Season 6. But from the information we got we are not sure if its a good way. Because of that we are running the Tibette Spin-off Campaign from now on.

For that we need to push the existing petition as hard as we can and please write down that you want a Tibette Spin-off (When you want some) because Showtime need to know that WE want it ! Actually the petition is at 24,478 and we need only 522 signatures more and the petition will send to Showtime and IC again. So please all L Word Fans and ALL Jennifer Beals and Laurel Holloman Fans out there. Get up and sign that petition. We are so close, please keep up the pressure.

And Showtime need to know what we want so we have started another Mail-In Campaign. Please make your way to tibette.com and get the Postcard and send it to the 3 Offices of Showtime. The Postcard is ready so print it out and send it away. We need you all. It doesn’t matter if you are a Jennifer Beals or Laurel Holloman Fan, a Tibetter or just a L Word Fan. We need everybody.

For details please visit the thread at tibette.com or download the Postcard directly from the main page.

Thank you all for your support.
