Update on the Wavecard Campaign
An update from [info]fithelere -

-------------
Ni-Howdy,


Up till now, the wave-card campaign has been strictly fan-generated, but Andy over at QMx has just announced that the wave-cards are going on sale. Think of this as getting several cards for free!


Andy writes: "We are so thrilled that the Browncoat community has decided to use our humble cards as the vessel of this critical message, we've decided to reduce the price of the Wavecards by $5 a set until the campaign is complete, so as to make it just a little bit more affordable for folks who want to use these to do good works. You can go right now, this minute, to our listing on Amazon.
The price should also change on our website by tomorrow morning.
Thanks again. And let's see if we can make that sequel happen!"


For those of you wondering what to write on your cards to Universal, Companion Kate (who cooked up this idea in the first place) suggests this article. It's about how to write to a TV network, but I think some of these ideas apply:

Ultimately, be polite, be kind, and be articulate.


And remember, the sequel is worth fighting for.


Stay shiny,

Cedric

Not to diss the writing campaign or anything, but from what I understand the primary force behind if a dvd sequel gets made is special edition DVD sales. Postcards might put a few cents in their pockets, but what they REALLY want are DVD profits. This is the time when everyone who hasn't gotten the special edition Serenity goes out and gets it, then everyone who has it goes and buys a ocuple for friends and family. I'm gonna stock up on a few this weekend for birthday & Christmas presents.

Amen! I couldn't agree more that now is the time to buy multiple copies of the Big Damn Collector's Edition and give them to everyone on your gift list. I figured that goes without saying--but thanks for saying it.

Heck, buy one for your local firefighters. Give one to your local library. Send one up in a space shuttle! (Wait, I think they did something like that.)

In addition to buying copies of the CE, though, showing Universal that you care enough to ask for a sequel will also help the cause. So do both. If you don't want to buy a whole pack yourself, split it with some friends! Throw a card-writing shindig in which you think of all the reasons Universal should make the sequel!

(Heck, if the discounted cards are still too steep for you, print up some of your own. They might not be as impressive, but they still show you care.)
