We're up for voting on smgo.tv!

Greetings, DaftTron.

... Daft, I do not see why there is a 'reality check' required. Patience and gentle reason would easily answer the questions you stated. I will give you my views first, but I would respectfully like to address the slant of your ... Effluent wording in the second division of this message. Although you've expressed that you 'Expect a rant or two' in response, you've left plenty of matter to be addressed, and I hope you would not view this response derisively as a 'rant.'

My reasons for these projects of mine are a peaceful, hopeful making. What I create, I do at my own pace, as much as I can. I have bills to pay, long days at work, worries of life, and general weariness and distraction, much as anyone else. I do not intend to stress myself over something (such as the restoration of Tron: Uprising) which is well beyond my control. I choose to invest peacefully, and in good mind; it is only suitable for an object meant to be entrusted to others.

I do this as an act of trust and fellowship among fans, a chance to share and invest our regards in a symbolic, collective object (or set thereof). What will matter to us years and decades past now are the memories and times that we, as fans, have shared and created.

I am well aware of many of the risks and practical difficulties of such a project as these books. I accept that they may be subject to damage or loss, deliberate or not. I am fine with this, and I would still gladly invest my time and humble skill, regardless.

What becomes of these books once they are in the hands of Disney is not ours to control; at best, perhaps they might stand as a gesture of solidarity, serve as a minute cross-section of the standing to which we hold the Tron intellectual property as a whole, or of the values which have garnered our respect towards Tron: Uprising. Perhaps it might end up given to various people who had participated in the creation of Tron: Uprising, as a memoir. Clearly, these are just humble, practical creations, but I trust that they may one day find their way into curious or sentimental hands.



Now, as you to your statements... Foremost, I hope that your post was meant in a different light than I am interpreting it. Perhaps if others here could provide some insight into their own manner of interpreting your personality or nature or habit of providing your regards, I would be grateful.

You virtually open on a note of 'misadventures' and tilt that towards your fellow Forum-goers. You then start asking for 'True Purposes' as if there were some hidden track of intent which I possess. What follows is some caustic conjecture, hinting at how mislead you believe myself and others are?

Your... Parallel offered in your second paragraph seems rather out of place. I don't see it's immediate relevance, aside from as a form of scathing juxtaposition.

Lastly, you go on to say defensively that you expect colloquialisms and a rant, and then proceed to your thoughts of waiting for news on Tron 3, all the while lauding your gratefulness at possessing the virtue of patience.

... You are puzzling, and negative, Daft.

Probably futile, yes. But it wouldn't be the first fandom I've made a stab at save our show, and likely not to be the last. I even mailed an old TV to FOX with a sign that said "season 2 or bust" on it for Lone Gunmen. (Yes, there are pictures!)

More often than not, it doesn't work, but think Firefly. 14 episodes before it was rather unceremoniously screwed by FOX, and the Browncoats are still cheerfully going strong. It got them the Big Damn Movie, which aside from Joss's little "leaf on the wind" dick move (Seriously, can that man tie his shoes without killing off the nicest guys in the cast?), did a great job.

Sometimes, it succeeds in an odd way. Galaxy Rangers is a small, low-key fandom like this one, and after 20 freaking years and several production companies, we finally got DVDs and a possible comic book reboot (steampunk's popularity is causing folks to take a look at old space westerns that aren't Firefly).

It's like any activism. You go in knowing it's not likely do do anything, but in the process, you might end up hooking others, and they start writing, or hooking their friends on the idea. Might just pan out to something in the end.

Daft Tron Wrote:Whoa there to both you & shadowspark I meant no harm in what i wrote though I did expect for you to reply in such manner hence my reference to colloquial. With this in mind, i was referring to another member here whom seems to be MIA, nothing more. The message I am trying to imply is essentially, if after your hard work & determination should you decide to send this off to Disney as a memento & you do not receive it back or they decide to simply archive & place in a vault of sorts to never be seen again despite you having archived the various events nameless members may have underwent, how would you feel? Sure i' d say Accomplished but would you also feel a bit left out?

Greetings! Can´t help to wonder if you are referring to me? I have been busy with the project, so i have not had time to check the forum for a while. An update from my part is surely in place!

Anyways, since i am also a part of the project (the books contain paper-dolls that i am making) i´ll answer your question from my point of view.
I have had many concerns regarding all those facts. Whether the book will travel safely or wether disney will pay any kind of attention to it at all. What i at least hope to achieve is a chance for them to see what we have done. I am very prepared for any bad consequences, or no reactions at all. I dont even expect to get the book back once its sent. The pictures in the book will (hopefully) be uploaded on the internet, so even if the books dont come back, the pictures might still make an impact on people.

This is a risky move, sending the book to a possible dead end, but its a risk i am prepared to take. I have had very fun regarding this project so far, so i would not feel left out. Hopefully Lucrata can also give you an answer to what you are questioning here.

I'm not sure I like that one as much as the other. The bottom of the front part seems kind of squished. I'd take off the bottom circles and those two vertical lines.

I remember there being talk of projecting Tron Lives etc on buildings in this thread. Saw this Portable projector and thought it might be useful.

Okay, so this is a repost from another thread:
There has been talk around the boards about starting a more widespread organized campaign to help draw more attention to the current plight of TRON: Uprising. I'm not sure if multi-media is the best way to put it, but reaching as much of the fan-base as possible in as many ways as possible is instrumental in making sure our voices are heard. I figure it's probably time to really get down to business with this, so hopefully this thread will be a starting point/brainstorming thread for how best to accomplish this.
So far, these are the ideas that seem to be forming and/or already being put into action in some form:
Letter Writing--Obviously, this has been there from day one. Pretty self-explanatory. Handwritten to Disney/Bob Iger.
Twitter--In the past, this has been a successful outlet, in combination with other avenues, for fans to reach out to the networks/companies that have cancelled their favorite programs. It would be best to do this on Staurdays, in conjunction with similar movements for other cancelled series. This endeavor would include a universal hashtag, individual weekly hashtags, and a time slot.
Tumblr/Webpage--This would be a central place for all fans to go for information, such as savetheclonewars.com.
Deviantart--There is a dedicated collection of Uprising fans that are artists, and create fanart based on the show to upload on deviantart.com. Perhaps a good way to show the love for the series would be to send those works to Disney via snail mail?

Comments, questions, concerns, ideas?

Also, despite WB saying no to SMGO for funding Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series, the site decided to go forward with funding for YJ anyway. They did this because the reason for WB's no was because they thought the goal was unattainable. I noticed that since funding began, there has been a spike in votes for Uprising. People making accounts for YJ seem to think we deserve a chance too.

I also wanted to mention that this 'Beck's Book' thing is very impressive. It really demonstrates the passion of TRON fans. I would contribute, but I am very possibly the worst artist to ever live.
