So anyway, I just got this laptop and typing is so much easier than it was on the tablet. Actually, everything is easier, so I'm going to try to keep up with this now. I'm going to try to keep the topic similar to what my twitter name already says, Read, Watch, Freak. A name I never really liked, (ReadWatchFangirl was too long, like come on its ONE letter over) maybe now I can make it have some actual meaning instead of just looking to me like a last minute, I've already tried 5 other words, solution. Hopefully a post a day about anything and everything that's going on in my life.
The biggest thing that's going on right now for myself and for the #VAFamily is that Frostbite has started raising donations. It was a promising first day, raising over $100k in 24 hours, but its seemed to have stalled out, though someone did purchase the Queen Bee Package today for $10,000. I could go on forever about why we need this movie, and maybe I will this week, but more than that, we need BIG names promoting it with us. We need to do the groundwork that wasn't done for us when VA came out. EVERYTHING IS IN PLACE if we raise this money Adrian will be real, Eddie will be real, Rose will knock out a guardian with a Maglite!!! I wrote to Ellen after seeing a few other people mention they had as well and I think its a great idea for everyone to do it. I mentioned that it was a "great series about female empowerment and the bonds of friendship" and that if her viewers had given the first movie a chance they would have loved it. Maybe if Monday morning rolls around in LA and some assistant gives Ellen a rundown of her idk social media popularity or something, they'll mention "and you've received 1500 requests to look into a crowd funding campaign for a movie?" and Ellen says hmmm let me see. She's seen more obscure things. She probably has actual people she pays to troll the internet. Idk, I just feel somewhere like its the right thing for us. Like she's our answer, or one of many answers, who knows. I was also thinking of writing Amanda Seyfried, or anyone else I can think of that would seem to be into something like this.
ENews is also doing their #HottieOfTheWeek, tho today is Sunday so I'm not sure when polls close or if they do it every week? not sure? But I know we were nominating Danila for it to try to get some exposure. Anything we can get anyone to mention will help. A lot of great articles have already come out, the problem is, we got all they're going to give us, there need to be new articles in big places throughout the entire month. I'm pretty sure I saw the TCA winners so I can say that's not going to help us too much, it would have been nice to get someone there to mention it, but what can you do?
Well maybe that's it for today. The link to donate is below, I know if any fandom out there can raise 1.5mil in 30 days its us, I'm just afraid too many people have lost interest and that we wont be able to get the word out to enough people with the money to put on the line. I donated the first day and if I can do it again the last week, after Sep 1st I'm going to. I got the Dhampir package, I'll pay $75 again for that hoodie or maybe something else, by then there could be some cool perks!
