eh ... what happened? I saw it earlier. Was going to reply and now it's gone
Sorry. That must have been confusing for anyone who saw my long ass post and then saw it disappear. The abbreviated version of the story is that the bottom portion of my post got lost and when I went in to edit it, I lost the entire post. Shouldn't have been a problem because I always save the long posts before submitting, but ... well, anyway, after an hour and fourty-five minutes of trying to repost my original post, I had to step away before I hurled my laptop against a wall. :lol:
Now I'm back. Let's try this again.

Alright ladies, it’s time for the long-awaited Carmine fan project that has nothing whatsoever to do with your collective desire to nail the guy.
You realize you lost my interest after that sentence, right? I have no idea what this thread is even about because I stopped reading after that.
:lol: That's what I love about you,
Bitten. Your clarity of mind insures your idyl longings never cross over into actual interest in the man's work. ... But should we ever petition Playgirl to offer Carmine a fat chunk of change for the Full Monty, I'll be sure to give ya a call.
CarmineFan - Thanks for posting the youtube clips. That should help people outside the US see which episode I'm referring to.
Another thing to keep in mind...last year, Melina was submitted for "All Access," and Emmy DVDs were made of that episode alone for her. "All Access" didn't air until the end of April of 2006, so there's still a chance that some big Danny episode could be in the pipelines. If that's the case, and CBS gets tons of letters in support of Carmine, they could be more inclined to submit that episode than another for consideration. Just something to keep in mind!
Good point. And hopefully there is at least one Danny-centric episode in the pipeline. I'd hate to think a few shining minutes in "Raising Shane" is as good as the writing gets for him this season.
But hey watch it with the 'too old' talk lady (seeing as I'm the same vintage). I joined myspace because it's a great place to store videos privately that I can then embed in my own site. And my 14yo niece said I had to so I could friend her Also on LJ as a way of keeping up with friends' doings.
To both
crankyjules and
Thumpy - Thanks for trying to legitimize the presence of "the elderly" on MySpace and LJ. But in truth, the only time you'll find 36 year old attorneys on those site is when they're participating in kiddie porn sting operations. :lol:
But the important stuff:I spent yesterday afternoon and evening preparing for this. I joined up on a mountain of Carmine/CSINY related communities and groups so that I could help get the word out. I shall be crossposting to those forums and making bulletin posts as soon as I'm finished with this post.
Thank you so much. You rock! Massive participation is really key to the success of this project. The numbers from this board alone aren't enough to
really turn heads at CBS. We need ALL Carmine's fans to participate and to each be responsible for more than one letter.
also bookmarked some Australian boards. You want I should forward the url's to you?
Yes, please forward them to me. Same for any of you other girls who may know of sites I don't. I'll join every single board I'm made aware of. And if any of the rest of you have the spare time to join other boards and pimp this project too, that would be fantastic. I've got a nice fat chunk of free time tomorrow afternoon which I'm going to devote to joining every Carmine-related board on the planet ... okay, maybe just the English speaking ones. :lol:
will of course also post it at my blog. As should everyone else who has a blog/live journal/blurty/myspace whatever and wants to participate!
Thank you! Big thanks to you and to everyone with any sort of blog/LJ/MySpace/whatever kind of page who can post this project and pimp it hard.
Would be kinda nice to know that he received the previous project, wouldn't it?
Well, they can't all be as sweet as Eddie, but if I hear anything on that, I'll be sure to let everyone know.
CarmineLuver - Gee, plagarize much? :lol: I'm teasing you. Thanks so much for jumping on this project so quickly.
We're so good to him. I hope all of our efforts don't fall on deaf ears, because that'd just be a shame and this is actually a project that REALLY means something. Not to say the others didn't, because I happily participated in all of them and know they were appreciated, but I'm just saying. Group efforts like this make me all warm and tingly inside.
We ARE good to him. And this is the one project I 'd really like to see succeed. The fun and flirty stuff is ... well, fun, but doesn't hold any
real meaning. The personal ad project was designed, in part, as amusement for the fans. I'm sure Carmine doesn't find me half as entertaining as I do. :lol: But this project is one that could have lasting impact and it would be fantastic to know that fans
can make a difference.
Thumpy - Great letter. And thanks for prioritizing fandom above a master's degree project.
Top - Thanks for posting the Eric Close DVD info. That is
exactly what I want CBS to do for Carmine. Show our boy some love, damn it!
I wonder whether letters sent in from the other side of the world will have some extra oomph. Like, TPTB: Dudes, this actor has got fans from halfway across the world! Maybe we oughta put him up for an Emmy this year, 'cause I sure don't want a headhunter from Borneo coming after me!
:lol: Absolutely mention that you're on the other side of the world. The network is pretty proud of the high price per episode the show draws overseas. Make sure they know Carmine is appreciated in every corner of the world.
I have virtually spammed the livejournal communities I have posted to my blog (which gets quite a few visitors who've googled Carmine and ended up on my site, and lurkers), and I've posted bulletins and forum posts on the myspace communities. (Hope this is worth it because I'm going to have to friend them all to do it )
Spam away, baby! Keep up the good work! You're awesome.
Deb do you want me to post to the Australian forums etc I've found that we could use? Or would you prefer I send you the urls? I'm happy to do either.
If you want to send them to me, I can join, post essentially the same long ass opening post that I did on this site, then we can both tag team and keep going back to those sites to make sure the girls are writing in.
Chelliyah - Fantastic letter! Great job.
I'm really glad to see everyone excited about this project. The man has some damn good fans! Thanks for writing to CBS and for getting the word out.
