Gathering Dresden's

I've beat this drum before and I feel the need to
beat it again...
I truly believe one of the things holding us back
is a distinct lack of visibility. I find small
groups of fans all over the place but we’ll never
look like a sizable group of people as long as
we’re all spread out… and I do know that
cast/crew and those connected with them have
frequented this forum in the past. It is less
than ideal that the only full featured renewal
site, let alone one of the the few sites devoted
to the TV series itself, is often so sparsely
populated.
Yes, it can be demoralizing when renewal
campaigns don't have an immediate effect but some
efforts take time. In the early 90's it was well
over a year before fans of the first season of
Forever Knight were treated to season two. Those
who are still interested must continue forward,
fighting the good fight in this up hill battle.
I've heard some say that Dresden as mainly
appealed to a 'certain type' of person - those
that are older, busy with life, kids, mortgages.
etc and that they may not always have time to
fight for a small TV show. This is certainly a
fact of life and no one can ever be blamed for
putting real life above simple entertainment but,
for those still in the middle of this effort, we
must realize that this typifies EXACTLY why
SFC/NCU Universal is less enamored with the
demographics that Dresden was pulling in. We need
to fight that image.
So if you're a long time lurker reading this then
please join and make yourselves active and known
in the forums. Current
members, please urge your fellow fans in
pockets around the 'net to join in so that
we can be more visibly united.
...and keep getting the word out. I'm *still*
running into people that don't know the show is
cancelled. Many casual fans are just now
beginning to check the schedules, thinking
Dresden will be back in January/February only to
find it missing.
