Bueno, chicos, pues estamos de celebración...
Ayer, día 30 de marzo, se recibieron en el set todos los artículos de la campaña. Se enviaron globos, dulces (los famosos "cupcakes" de Comitted), unas canastas de regalos, flores de origami (hechas de papel por los fans), unas joyas y lápices a la oficina de los productores con el logo de la operación (que fueron recibidos días atrás en las oficinas de la CW y de Souders y Peterson), copias de la petición a los estudios de la WB... junto con una carta de agradecimiento y apoyo a Erica Durance por el magnífico trabajo que está haciendo con nuestra Lois Lane y la lista de los nombres de todos los que han firmado la petición. A Tom también se le regalaron unos protectores para los palos de Golf, ya que hay paralelamente otro proyecto para agradecer a ambos actores lo mucho que disfrutamos con sus momentos.
La carta es ésta:
Dear Erica,
Your devoted fans at Divine Intervention, the official online forum of the Lois and Clark fan site Happy Ending, have joined together in appreciation of our favourite Lois Lane to show our heartfelt desire to see her in every episode of ‘Smallville’. The gifts we have sent to you are a part of Operation Wild Cherry, and we’d like to tell you how much your Lois Lane means to us.
In the words of Lois: “I think that when the right girl walks into your life you’ll know.”
Since your first appearance as Lois Lane back in 2004, we’ve known you were the right girl. Not only are you an incredibly talented actress, you know the character you portray, you understand what she means to generations of fans and you genuinely care about her. Added together it shows in the amazing job you have done portraying Lois Lane over the years. You have made us laugh with Lois, cringe for her when she gets it wrong, cheer for her when she gets it right and cry with her as if our own hearts were breaking. Your journey with Lois has become our journey too.
We’re with you every step of the way and we want the ‘Smallville’ show runners to know that too. Thanks to you we understand why there’s no Superman without Lois Lane. So we’re asking the show runners to give Lois her rightful place and the screen time that will allow you to work with them to fully develop her character. We’ve launched a postcard, letter and email campaign. We've created videos and artwork to spread the word around the world on the internet. We have an online petition and have sent Operation Wild Cherry pens to the 'Smallville' offices in Los Angeles. We believe as the writers guide Clark Kent closer to his destiny, now more than ever is the time for Lois Lane to stand by his side.
Voltaire said: “Appreciation is a wonderful thing; It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” Your portrayal of Lois Lane does that for us, and so much more. Thanks to Lois we know that it’s all right to be who we are, to make mistakes, to have vulnerabilities and that - flaws and all - we can have the kind of love that stands the test of time, no matter what.
We hope you enjoy the gifts we have sent. Please know that they are sent with love and a deep appreciation for your Lois Lane from grateful fans. Along with the gift basket, Cherry Blossoms, balloons, cupcakes, cherry themed jewelry and framed artwork, you might notice there is a camera with a pre-paid envelope for return postage. If someone there can take a few pictures of you with the gifts for us we would really appreciate it, but if your schedule doesn’t allow it we completely understand.
Thank you so much for giving us such an amazing Lois Lane. She wouldn’t be the same without you!
Your fans at Operation Wild Cherry ~ The Campaign for 22 in 9.
Y aquí os dejo las fotos de algunos de los regalos:
Se ha contactado con Matt de TVGuide para ponerle al tanto de la operación y para ver si, a través de él, se puede conseguir una respuesta oficial a la misma y también se ha enviado la noticia al periódico local "Burnaby Now".
Según la recepcionista del estudio: Erica Durance y Tom Welling estaban encantados y agradecidos por los regalos. Erica, subió especialmente, cogió sus cosas, se llevó las flores a su casa y compartió los pasteles con todos.
