SaveAngel never did anything but rub the coattails of other campaigns (who were doing what they said they would do) against its diseased cock and spooging all over the names of the other campaigns.
Allyson, I like your way with words.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Allyson, I like your way with words.
Eh. I go to the spooge well a little too often.
Ew.

I hope I never again encounter the phrase "spooge well."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I go to the spooge well a little too often.
Yes, yes you do.

Yes, yes you do.
But still, Spooge On My Monitor-worthy. Or not. I just think "spooge" is a funny word. Like Albequerque.

What is even happening?
is SaveAngel.org the one a lot of people had questions about from the beginning, or was that SavingAngel.org?
Yeah, it was SaveAngel, Lyra. I think it was still February, when the questions were first raised. They're the ones I blathered about in my lj, back then.
SavingAngel is (or at least the folks I know on it are) honest, and gave good accountings, and actually produced results (not that they managed to save the show, but people saw where their money was spent).
I adored this show, but I couldn't see dropping a dime for it, because it was pretty clear from the beginning it was really gone, and why.

Thanks, Allyson and Cindy-of-the-topicness.
It makes me sad for the people who gave them money. I generally don't give to fan campaigns, but I understand why some people do.

"Albequerque" is especially funny when Buggs Bunny says it.
"Albekoikee?"
I don't think I've ever heard Buggs Bunny say "spooge" though.

All is well that ends in pizza.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I don't feel that sad for the contributors to SavingAngel, though. Margot and the others, while far more optimistic than I, never promised anything they couldn't deliver. All they could do was draw increased visibility to the show's cancellation, and they always seemed clear (to me, anyway) that success would be the longest of shots. They provided a way for fans to make their voices heard, which is all anyone could reasonably ask for.
SaveAngel seemed from the start to be much more about the organizer's ego than about any goals that would benefit fandom.
