Faith in the Whedonverse
To celebrate those fans who refuse to fade away, the Whedonverse Multimedia
Project is raffling off an chance to win some action figures in honor of
their continuing efforts. The first raffle begins with Faith and the
efforts of Save Angel to bring back the Whedonverse in the form of a Faith
spin-off.
From now until June 30, every $5 donated to the Whedonverse Multimedia
Project will automatically enter you into the drawing to win a 12" Sideshow
Faith Action Figure. According to Sideshow Collectibles, this action figure
is a limited edition with only 500 in circulation.
In addition, anyone making a donation during this time will have their name
added to a card that will be sent to Eliza Dushku via her management
letting her know that fans would love to see her in a spin-off. Hopefully
there will be enough donations to provide a complete set of Buffy the
Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series and Firefly to the Playa Vista Branch of
the Los Angeles Public Library System.
Fans who’ve already worked hard to show their appreciation of Eliza’s work
as Faith are the folks over at Save Angel. Whedonverse.org recently
interviewed Gman, one of the organizers of the campaign, to find out more
about their spin-off campaign.
What prompted the Save Angel team to begin running a Spin-off campaign?
As it became clear that Angel was not going to return as a series, our
efforts turned to campaigning for a general spin-off and a feature film. We
all knew that we’d had it pretty good for eight years and now we were going
to face our first season without Buffy or Angel. These series showed what
television could be at its finest. The combination of drama, action, and
humor that they brought is very rare. They were amazing because they
managed to speak to us about some of the most important things in life in
shows that featured superhumans, vampires, demons, witches, and outcasts.
We knew that there would be a hole in the schedule, but we continue to
campaign because there is a hole in our hearts.
Why was the character of Faith chosen for the campaign?
Back in June 2004, a reliable source with ties to Mutant Enemy reported
that Joss Whedon’s favorite spin-off idea was one featuring Faith. Last
October, AICN reported that Joss was still "salivating" to do Faith
spin-off series. Our source confirmed this. This was the catalyst for the
Faith campaign. It’s easy to see why Faith would great to build a series
around. We’ve seen enough of her to know that that she’s a great character
and that Eliza is electrifying as Faith, but there is still some mystery to
her.
Does the campaign support other characters as well?
Yes. We’ve asked our artists to design campaign postcards to mention that
along with Eliza Dushku as Faith, we wish to see James Marsters, Amy Acker,
and J. August Richards reprise their roles as Spike, Fred/Illyria, and Gunn
in a spin-off. Spike in particular is very popular and justifiably so. Most
people would agree that he helped make the last season of Angel arguably
its best.
What types of activities has the campaign done to promote a Faith spin-off?
Our members have sent postcards to Joss, Eliza, network executives at the
WB, Fox, ABC, UPN, and TNT and prominent media figures that cover
television such as Michael Ausiello, Matt Roush, Kristin Veitch, Robert
Bianco, Gillian Flynn, and David Bianculli. We have also sent our press
kits to these media figures along with Angel action figures and chocolate
angels. When we kicked off the campaign, we sent Eliza a cookie bouquet in
care of her talent agency. To promote Eliza, we asked our members to vote
for Tru Calling in TV Guide Online’s The Water Cooler as Thursday evening’s
best program every week when it returned briefly to Fox’s schedule. Tru
Calling held its own in that poll against competition like the OC and
Survivor.
Have there been any encouraging signs from Joss or Eliza about the
possibility of a spin-off?
Yes. Recently, a reader posted a question to Lorrie Lynch at
USAWeekendMagazine.com asking if Joss was writing a Buffy/Angel reunion
show. Ms. Lynch reported that Joss said that if he goes back to the Angel
or Buffy universe it will be through "Willow or Faith, or another character
that has great resonance with fans.” Joss was also interviewed by Dark
Worlds and stated he isn’t completely done with Angel and Buffy characters.
He said, “There’re a lot of characters in that universe that are a.) very
exciting, b.) very beloved, c.) played by people I really like, who d.)
would actually like to play those parts again.” He’s also made some
positive statements about a possible Spike TV movie. This is all exciting
stuff.
One of Eliza’s favorite charities is Camp Hale. Is the Faith spin-off
campaign involved in supporting her charity? If so, how?
On our home page, we have a section on Camp Hale where its banner is posted
and we express our proud support of its cause. The banner is a link to
information about the history of the charity and the Eliza Dushku
Foundation, a Q & A with Aaron Dushku, and details about donating. We had
this information up even before we began the Faith spin-off campaign.
How can fans participate in the campaign?
Thank you for asking. Visit our website at 
www.saveangel.org
 and visit the
Raising the Stakes section of our forum for details on the Faith spin-off
campaign. To participate in the Angel feature film campaign visit the
Raising the Bar section of our forum. Be sure to check out our fan fiction
and role-playing sections, also. In addition, visit our Other Places and
Campaigns section to view links to other campaigns and sites. The
Whedonverse is an amazing place and thanks to its fans there are a lot of
great stops.
Whedonverse.org would like to thank the folks at Save Angel for taking the
time to speak with us. Best of luck in your campaign. We plan future
raffles to highlight the efforts of fans who want an Angel feature film and
a Spike telemovie.

Faith in the Whedonverse
non ho letto tutta l'intervista, ma a me, sinceramente non piacerebbe.
O meglio, non mi piace l'idea, perchè non una campagna per Willow?
E poi, non c'e' sempre l'incognita su Spike?

E poi, non c'e' sempre l'incognita su Spike?
Io mi accontenterei, anche perchè quello che Joss tocca diventa oro. Fra
parentesi, io non amo affatto il personaggio Faith.

Quoto in pieno, io amo ELiza Dushku che è diverso *_____*
