As you may know, I set up a Virtuality TV Series Fan Campaign page a while back, organizing information so fans would know who to contact when requesting more episodes of Virtuality. This page is getting linked to, or copied from, at numerous other sites and blogs now, partly thanks to a Facebook entry posted by Jessica Blank (wife of Virtuality’s Erik Jensen).

We’ve just got our second mention by Wired:

“Jessica Blank, an organizer of the renew Virtuality campaign, noted the weak ratings but said: “Because of all the amazing reviews and the buzz, we’re still holding out hope that a big e-mail/letter campaign from fans could get it picked up by Sci Fi Channel or something…. We’ll see!””

If you want to see more Virtuality but haven’t yet made your feelings known to the powers that be, please go to our Virtuality TV Series Fan Campaign page and write real letters or postcards to SyFy and FOX. There are email address and phone numbers there, as well, for additional ways you can contact them but actual snail mail sent to the headquarters is quite a bit more effective from eveything I’ve seen in dealing with past efforts.

Also, if you have other ideas to help spread the word, please talk about it in our forum.

In the interviews that Virtuality Co-Creator Michael Taylor gave today, I noticed he repeatedly mentioned sending letters of support:

@ Televisionary: "Maybe we can send sunglasses to Peter Rice or something. (Laughs.) Or camp outside Mark Stern's house or send some letters. But it would be fabulous if there was a chance to continue the story of this show because it's a great show."

@ io9: "Fox has not given us the official word. I have to be honest, I think the scheduling of this the way it is... it does not look good. The chances are very slender. Slim to none — who knows? It would take pretty much a miracle for that to happen. It would take millions of people watching, on this night when people normally aren't watching television in general. I can say if a lot of people watch it and like it, and make their feelings known whether it's writing a letter to Peter Rice, or even better, to someone like Mark Stern at the Syfy Network, who really does love the show. It's part of the NBC Universal family, and I think they'd love to put it on if they could afford to put it on."

I’d love to hear other people’s thoughts... I'd normally be rather pessimistic of something like this, and maybe I still am, but this has been a crazy television season when it comes to what has been renewed, greenlit, etc... Obviously, Virtuality itself doesn't have a very big fandom at this point in the game but a lot of the actors and crew involved have fan bases of their own...
