Here are the inspiring responses we received! Entries are to be judged by the inestimable Mr. Noble himself, at his convenience – we’ll let you know when we have a winner. Thanks to everyone who participated, and good luck!! … Continue reading →
SIMON FOSTER: When I was in my freshman year at college — I’m at Stanford. And in the middle of the night, my roommate comes banging on my door. Tells me to wake up, come check out the TV. I tell him to go away. I… I have a girl in my bed. But he won’t take no for an answer. So me and the girl… Emily… We get dressed, go to the common room. On the TV they’re showing footage from… Chicago, L.A… London. Observers going from house to house and… dragging people out into the street. ETTA: That … Continue reading →

Feels like it’s been quite awhile since Brave New World Part 2….was it really only two weeks ago? Since the finale, the Fringenuity team has been enjoying a little break in which to catch up on everything else that’s not Fringe, but fear not! We have some really cool activities to keep us busy through this long (long!) summer. After a little bit of spring cleaning, we’re ready to announce the first of those: an ambitious summer re-watch and dissection of every episode of Fringe. We aim to cover an episode a day for most of the summer, starting this … Continue reading →
I know what you’re thinking- what’s a fanzine??? A fanzine is an unofficial publication made by fans, for fans. It has its roots in sci fi and comic fandoms, and is a wonderful, fun way to learn about and interact with other people. If there’s one thing I learned from being a part of the Fringe community, it’s that being a fan and taking part in all these “extracurricular activities” is just as much fun as watching the show. I’ve also made a lot of great friends from all over the world through Fringe, and I find it so amazing … Continue reading →
A Very Long Wait for Some #VeryShortLoveStory Contest Results! EDIT: Please scroll to the bottom to read!! There’s a story in which Ernest Hemingway and friends were sitting around one evening, being all writery, when a bet was made as to whether a story could be told in less than 10 words. The others scoffed but Hemingway was certain, and once the money was on the table he settled the bet with haunting finality, scribbling the following quickly on a napkin: For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn. While the validity of the legend may be in dispute, … Continue reading →
We’ve suffered enough March madness with the Fringe hiatus and are all super excited for the return of the a brand new episode of Fringe on March 23rd entitled “A Short Story About Love”. To celebrate Fringe’s return to our TV screens, we are launching a contest linked to the title of the episode. Fringies can talk endlessly about the show but can you write a short story about the love and related it to Fringe in 7 words? Yes, you read correctly, SEVEN WORDS. The rules are simple. Tweet a seven-word (no more and no less) short story about love … Continue reading →
We are delighted and moved that so many of you shared your #FringeConfessions we’ve decided to engage Fringies in a visual project. We have monitored tweets and we know that many of you sometimes adopt a “Fringie” lens when looking at the world. So we want you to capture what a Fringe world looks like through your eyes. What do you see in your surrounding environment, in people around you, in everyday things that remind you of Fringe? Take a picture of anything that reminds you of Fringe. These should be real life pictures and not screencaptures of the show or … Continue reading →
I had been reading fanfiction for 2 years before Fringe aired, but never felt driven to try writing any myself. That all changed when episode 117 “Bad Dreams” aired on 4/21/09. Executive producer Akiva Goldsman wrote AND directed that by himself. Since that airing I can pretty much tell when Akiva Goldsman has been involved in the writing of a Fringe episode. This man can reach your gut and your soul with his words and his directing style in a huge way. The tragicness of the Nick Lane character, Liv’s whole reaction to seeing events through Nick’s … Continue reading →
I opened up our email tonight and there were more tales about how Fringe has changed people’s lives. Here is another touching round. … Continue reading →
