MASS MESSAGE

I believe that we should continue with the letters and general movement but that on April 11 (the day South of Nowhere was meant to premiere). Right now on the-N.com, 47,242 registered users consider "South of Nowhere" one of their favorite shows. What I am proposing is a simultaneous mass message from every fan of South. Maybe it could show how much South of Nowhere means to each and every one of us and it'd demonstrate how SoN has brought all these diverse people together for the same cause. I think we should send the same message through the FAQ section.

Number sixteen on http://www.the-n.com/footerPage.php?id=1202 has a box to send in any comment/concern not listed above. I say we select subject "tv shows" and then copy paste our message into there.

On April 11, 2008 at 8:00 eastern time, my hope is that every SoN fan sends this message...

Without SoN there is no N

If one person can make a difference imagine what 46,000+ South fans can do.
When South of Nowhere ends, so does the-N.
Save SoN, save Spashley, save us!

Spashley love,
The South of Nowhere Community

Thanks you guys! I hope you participate! Please spread the word to every South fan you know! (And any non-South fans who would be willing to do it. lol)

I mean, who knows what can happen when the community bans together?

Much love and Spashley,

PROJECT PRIDE:

Since the airing of 3b (or as the-N calls it, Final Season) has been pushed back, that means the timeline for spreading the word about Spashley has greatly increased to not only further savespashley.com attempts but also to cement Spashley in lesbian pop culture history.

In light of this, SaveSpashley.com has implemented some campaign plans. See, with the pushback to the Fall, the campaign runs in time with many of the country's pride festivals.

For Example: I am from Chicago. I would love to help organize, or even just be part of something that can represent Spashley/SON/SaveSpashley during chicago's Pride Fest/Pride Festival. I'm sure there are other chicagoans out there who would like to be a part of that as well. Or if NOT, they could even do something on their own with their friends. 

Visibilty is the way to go. Pride is a perfect opportunity to get loud, for those of you who actually can or would like to do so. Maybe something can be done to where city groups can send in pics to savespashley.com and other spashley support sites to help gain awareness? To discuss and take action, visit the Project Pride thread at spashley.com. You'll need to register if you're not already a member.
