Options!

Anyway, it has been a little slow getting wishes from people, so here are some options for fans to get their input into this campaign. I hope to see you participate!

• You can include with your responses your name or online alias and location.
• Please note that you don't have to do all options, nor do you have to do Clois AND Lexana. You can do either!

1. In one word (or phrase), how would you describe T.E.M.K., Clois and/or Lexana?
2. Post screen cap(s) of favorite moment - Clois and/or Lexana. The screencaps will be printed in B&W and attached to the cranes.
3. Express your T.E.M.K., Clois or Lexana love in fan art.
4. Post your favorite quotations or segment of dialogue between Clois and/or Lexana.

For examples, click HERE.

You can post your entries on this thread or on DTS.

In other news, new banners are on their way.

Oh, and BTW, those who come here and try to be "funny," (and people have), just so you know, (if you haven't figure out already) I have been and am watching. :D

Never give up

I know those who are spoiled are having a hard time wrapping our minds around what's being released in the media right now. I'll admit that I'm having difficulty myself, but this campaign is not going to give up.

If things come to be just like the slowly emerging details are portraying, then let's TPTB know that they dropped the ball on this one. I am speaking for Lexana here when I say that if this was planned for some time, did they have to do it in a way in which they had to painfully deconstruct Lexana in the process?

Is this a lost cause? It could very well be, but we're not going to sit back and take it. If I have to fight tooth and nail, then so be it. Am I delusional? Maybe. Time will only tell. LOL.

In the end, I understand if some of you choose to walk away. If you ever decide to come back, we'll still be here.

Those who are sticking around, let's give this one final chance, one final fight.

What's in a 1000?

"1000 cranes, 1000 wishes, 1000 words, 1000 dollars."

This, right here, is our campaign, The Tsuru Project. I want to thank Luke, who is always with ideas, for the tagline.

I hope this provides us a more concrete focus of what we are doing here with The Tsuru Project. At campaign's end, we will have sent 1000 cranes with 1000 implicit/explicit wishes in 1000s of words, and raised 1000 dollars to purchase 100+ tags from the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation. Will our wishes be granted? I would like to think so. There's always a chance that it may not, but I hope that through the process of participating in this project that people will take something from it.

As I have mentioned before, I am considering to broaden the scope of The Tsuru Project in a couple of months, totally separate from the show and television. I hope all of you will be part of that process. Stay tuned for more details.

Full speed ahead!

I know my fellow spoiler junkies must have gotten the news by now. Regardless, this campaign will move one. Let's finish the cranes and wishes and send them to TPTB and Japan. We'll finish what was started.

In the near future, I have some plans to continue this project even when the show goes off air, and I hope some of you will stay on to help continue and expand the mission of this project. Because really, all of this goes beyond the show and television.

Let's go, Team T.E.M.K.!

Worth a thousand words...

Want to portray your wish visually? I know there are some people who would rather graphically express themselves, such as in a fan art, rather than in words. If you are one these people, be sure to stop by here in the next couple of days to see if how you can do so. Get those digital palettes fired up. :)

A mention.

Hello, just wanted to let you know that The Tsuru Project got a little mention on the CW Blog Source today. :)

Peace and Disarmament

“For there to be peace among nations, there must also be peace within them, among groups and individuals. The UN Charter says ‘Since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defence of peace must be constructed.’ All of us, young and old, rich and poor, governments and civil society alike, must do our part. Let us now pool our efforts and make good on its great potential. The culture of peace can be ours.” -- Kofi Annan, former UN Secretary General

I have been gathering web links relevant to peace and disarmament and posting them on the blog. I hope that people who visit this blog will find the time and explore these links.

I am currently studying nonproliferation, and I hope that my eventual work in this pertinent field will make a significant contribution towards achieving peace and disarmament. But as Annan said, everyone has a stake as part of the global solution to these world issues, irrespective of our divergent walks of life, and that any act, big or small, will amount to something, no matter how cynical or bleak the world seems at times.

Let's cultivate a Culture of Peace.
