How do you make a thing go viral?
Apr. 7th, 2015 07:50 pmI have to start with a small apology for the lack of updates and posting and such. Still here, still reading and following along, and I do still have a WIP folder somewhere under the dust. Got some RL stuff of my own that has put a little bump in the road, but I have not 'left the fandom' or otherwise been abducted by aliens.
Hoping the writing ability is still there somewhere under the rust and I will get back to it one of these days.
However, I'm here about something else today. I know the fandom isn't quite what it was once upon a time, but I'm hoping there's still enough life left in us to sit up and take notice when one of our own needs a little bit of a hand. There's a talented lady who has done a lot of beautiful art over the years, and shared with us our geeky, fandom love. Things have been rough for awhile, and I know her well enough to know the edge is crumblin' or she wouldn't be askin'.
Harlan Ellison used to do this thing he called a Sea of Green. He'd ask every member of his audience to pull a dollar out of their pocket and wave it in the air. Then he'd collect those dollars for whatever cause.... and what'dya know... there would be the answer to somebody's problem. Can we manage a Sea of Fandomy Green?
And if there's no dollar in your pocket, can we get the word out? Spread the love?
Please go here and check it out...
