more than one of everything Posted on by

It is here. The final week before the Fringe finale is upon us and the realization is sinking in that the on-screen journey of these wonderful characters will be complete. Our Fringe family – us and them – will never be the same. Although we come from many backgrounds, ages, and all walks of life, we’ve become such a tight-knit community.  Over the years, many of us have found friends among the ranks of Cortexifans from all over the world. We have laughed together — cried together — fought together to keep this story alive. Many have nurtured creativity in … Continue reading →

Fringe Twitter Event January 11, 2013: Series Finale Arc Begins, but We’ll # NeverLetGo

more than one of everything Posted on by

It’s hard to think that this time last year, we weren’t even sure that Fringe would have a fifth season; the odds were definitely not in its favor. So, we decided to #CrossTheLine, and the social media impact of fans was one of the weights which tipped the scales for a final season. As we head into the finale, I’d like to make a sincere plea for fans to be careful about spilling major spoilers online — in public places where other fans can see them. Posting a spoiler tag is not enough. Please consider not posting them at all. … Continue reading →

#CrossTheLine Was the First Step in a Year-Long Fringe Fan Journey

more than one of everything Posted on by

   January 13, 2013 marks the anniversary of the very first Twitter event launched by this humble blog and its circle of geeky conspirators. Fringe fans crossed the line together on Twitter, hoping to make the trends list in order to gain attention for Fringe, by using the hashtag  #CrossTheLine. It was chosen due to several meanings; it’s a prominent saying in the show, the episode was about Peter doing everything in his power to get home to his loved ones, and it was a rallying cry for Fringe fans to see how far we could go for this show … Continue reading →

Friday was a very emotional day for Fringe fans, on many levels. Cast and crew had worked all through Thursday night and well into Friday morning in order to complete the show’s final scenes. Finally, that bittersweet moment arrived: #Fringe the final slate. twitter.com/BrentCrowell/s… — Brent Crowell (@BrentCrowell) December 14, 2012   After 4.5 seasons, Fringe reached a planned conclusion, and we–the fans–have precious few new episodes left. Science fiction history will note many things about Fringe, and our fandom will have a small page in that history. On a larger scale, we were really pioneers. Today, Nielsen announced that … Continue reading →

Finding the Crack

“In the darkness, there’s always a crack. It’s how the light gets in.” Today has been the darkest of days. The monstrosity we’ve witnessed has left us stunned, grasping to process the unprocessable slaughter of young children. We are heartbroken, seething with rage and grief. Over the last few hours, we’ve had several questions as to whether tonight’s hashtag campaign will proceed as planned, and the short answer is yes, we’ll be there. These campaigns, that started out as promotion for a TV show, have evolved so far beyond that. To many people, they’ve become symbolic of our community, and … Continue reading →

“The Fringe Event was a fan event for the TV show Fringe, held in Vancouver from August 10-12 2012. It hosted fans from all over the world and brought most of them together for the first time, even though most of us talk via social media every day. For those that couldn’t come, we adopted the twitter hashtag #TFE2012 and I asked people to submit their favourite quotes from the show for us to include in this keepsake video. Attendees of TFE2012 joined in as well. In addition to the amazing weekend that we had, from the event and within … Continue reading →

more than one of everything Posted on by

Project Ambergram is almost concluded, with the last of the gifts themselves being delivered to cast and crew shortly. In the mean time, all of our charitable donations have been made! After an ad hoc Twitter poll conducted yesterday, we decided the fairest way to designate the funds was to split them between all charities, giving weight to Alzheimer’s research, our twice previous poll winner. Above the cost of purchasing and shipping the Ambergrams themselves, Fringe fans raised a remarkable $1600 in charitable donations, more than three times our original goal, and funds were distributed as follows: Alzheimer’s Association – … Continue reading →
