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.
Well, look who just popped open a fresh can of venom.

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

"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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The secondary virtue of fan campaigns - even with a lost cause like Angel - is that it makes clear that ME has a big and avid fanbase. Which I have to think is a factor in greenlighting decisions for Serenity or looking at a Buffy animated series. Things like that.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I tend to not be interested in fanfuffles, but this makes me laugh and laugh- from a link at the beginning:
nameremoved: I also disagree with profiting from the fans. This is something that I don’t agree with.
Who knew Mojo Jojo was a fan of Angel?

Heh. He probably has the hots for Fred/Ilyria.
