COMIC CON 2010
Fan conventions offer the perfect opportunity to introduce new viewers to "Legend of the Seeker." Since the two largest cons, Comic Con International (San Diego, July) and Dragon*Con (Atlanta, September), happen within weeks from each other, our project group knew we had to act quickly to make sure we got the most out of campaigning at those cons.
Here are some of the efforts we have worked on so far:
Posters: we'll have 1000 tear away posters with this design (500 for SDCC, 500 for D*C).
Episodes Giveaway: 500 iTunes cards with "Prophecy & Destiny" distributed at the freebie table for SDCC. Volunteers will also be distributing the iTunes cards (including in costume!). Planning on doing the same for D*C if funds allow.
Art Show: We've been encouraging artists to apply to have their fanart displayed at the Comic Con Art Show.
"Legend of the Seeker" Party at Dragon*Con: we managed to secure the last consuite for a "Legend of the Seeker" sponsored party. More info.
"Legend of the Seeker" is a fantasy TV show, based on author Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" book series. Produced by Disney-ABC, the show currently airs in syndication. With little to no promotion, and an erratic airing schedule, the show has averaged 2.5 million viewers weekly, plus boasts a rapidly growing international fanbase. For more information on the show, please visit the official website.
Though no official statement has been made, as of April 26th, Ausiello reported that the show would be cancelled, since Tribune/WGN America had not purchased distribution for season 3.
The "Save Our Seeker" campaign aims to promote the show by demonstrating the unity and strength of its fanbase. After its first project, two ads on Daily Variety and The Hollywood Reporter, the SOS.com Project Group purchased over 250 DVDs of "Legend of the Seeker" Season 1 to donate to public libraries.
With the added motivation brought on by an endorsement from Terry Goodkind, the group has managed and continues to manage several projects in an effort to make a Season 3 for "Legend of the Seeker" a reality.
