Well I want to start off this review by saying a big thank you to all of you who took part in the second Heroes100 Saturday.
There are two types of people on this planet... those that talk the talk & those that walk the walk... each & every one of you that took part yesterday fall into the second category. So we didn't get Heroes100 to trend, I'll let you into a little secret... I never expected it to by the results of the last campaign.. So now you might be thinking why did we bother - what did we achieve?.. well the answer is simple.. YOU didn't sit on your butts moaning, whinging & whining about the fate of Heroes ... YOU did SOMETHING about it and what YOU achieved was in a way more important than trending Heroes100.. you achieved friendship.. you gained respect from fellow TRUE Heroes fans like minded people that will be friends forever. The reason it didn't trend was simple... we didn't have enough people tweeting enough tweets (also events like the oil slick dominated the TT on Twitter) The ones who did take part in the main went over & above the call of duty & there are some people that I want to thank personally here now, so here goes......
I'll start off with Tina McKeown.. Tina thank you for being awesome on the night.. considering you told me you were going to be studying for your exams, I was really pleased to see you do so much for the cause & I hope its not to the detriment of your exams!!
I also want to thank Bellepeteywooody as ever YOU were a star.. a true Heroes fan & your RT was magnificent with your multiple accounts.
The next person I want to thank is Azalea Davis.. your avatar of a little chick with two guns is absolutely YOU.. you were tenacious in your tweeting!
Next up is Emily O'Sullivan.. You were absolutely ripper mate!!
I also want to thank Juliette Terzieff... once again Jules you were fantastic!!
Then comes two of my old friends... Nathalie Caron & Veronika Teixeira.... both of you girls were great kicking the whole thing off...
Next are people I don't know so much.. Kim Schoetz, Stan Woot, Meg (Dandy Cobra), Whitney, Emily Karp & many others.. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
And finally A big thanks to JayJay.. your tweets were fantastic & without you we wouldn't have a blog to post info on!!
If there is anyone else reading this who took part & I haven't mentioned, it's simply because there are too many of you to mention but I want you all to know.. that what you did wasn't wasted because we will do another campaign.. and we will learn the lessons from this last one to take forwards into the next campaign.
I plan to do a campaign on the 25th September (it was my original intention anyway..) that date is the 4th anniversary of Heroes being shown on TV in the USA for the first time... The campaign will be one of three depending on what NBC decide to do about Heroes. It will either be (1) #BringbackHeroes if NBC dont renew it. (2) #Heroes100 if they only make 13 more episodes (we want 23) or (3) #WatchHeroes if they give us the full 23 episodes we are asking for... SO in any event we will have another campaign & it gives me time to think about what we need to do to REALLY make Heroes a Trending Topic again as we did for SaveHeroes & Heroes100 (the first one). If something else crops up like the SOSHEROES then of course I'm sure we will all be ready to do battle for Heroes once again.
Guys... Please don't think you failed.. you were ALL brilliant and you did your best and that is all anyone can ask of you, and you have all made really good friends for life....
Thanks once again!!!

Thank you so much Pete. But YOU did the best of all, being the maestro of that campaign. You've shown the greatest dedication to a show you (and us) love. This is all because of YOU. You took it into your hands to do something for Heroes, you were our inspiration. I'll be there on Sept. 25. xxx
ReplyDeleteOhmygosh I am so glad that you said this!! I felt so horrible about failing. I wasn't home all that day, but I was doing it from my phone and I just felt like I wasn't doing enough. This post made me feel so much better. I am definitely up for any other campaigns. Thank you for everything and for this opportunity <3

You know you always have my support!
ReplyDeletePersonally I'm hoping the September campaign is #WatchHeroes and NOT #bringback ... *shudder*
And thank YOU Pete for your dedication - and just, unwavering tenacity the likes of which the world could use more of - and willingness to get off your duff and DO something about the things that matter to you. I'm' so glad I met you!!!
Yes, I agree, thank YOU, Pete! YOU'RE the best! I was happy to be part of something so great and I'll be waiting eagerly for September 25 to once again show my support for the show I love. Heroes forever!!! :)
