#RememberingAimee

Hello Fringedom,

I hope everyone is doing well. I know many of you (along with myself) were completely shocked and saddened to hear of Fringenuity co-founder Aimee Long's sudden passing in November of 2013. 

Aimee was one of the first people that I got to know when I started getting involved in the fandom back in 2012. She was so warm and welcoming that it inspired me to get to know more Fringies and discover what an amazing family the Fringe fandom is.

Aimee loved the heart of Fringe and it showed through the passion she put into the many Twitter campaigns she hosted (along with the other members of Fringenuity) that helped get Fringe a final season. For me personally it is hard not to think about Aimee every time I think about the show because she was an important part of my Fringe experience.

 

This Friday, November 6th I would like for our fandom to honor Aimee by sharing a favorite memory or perhaps a special fan art or Fringe picture with the hashtag #RememberingAimee.

Aimee has left a permanent imprint on our Fringedom that can never be erased so let's do our best to keep her light burning bright!

P. S.  If you are unfamiliar with who Aimee was then I encourage you to read this touching article she wrote about what the show and the fans meant to her: http://fringeofohio.tumblr.com/post/36997081602/my-love-letter-to-fringe-and-the-fandom

My Fringe Movie Poster by @pixelsmith24

Hi Fringies!

Over the past few weeks, we at OTFA held a contest asking you to create your vision for a Fringe movie. I personally wanted to create something, but I didn’t want to submit anything while the contest was ongoing. I would’ve been disqualified anyway (our female team members also threatened to beat me up…not sure how that works over the internet). At any rate, I’ve held off until after the contest, until now. . . .

In discussions I've had in the past, and also in reading fan suggestions for a Fringe movie, it seems that there are a lot of Fringies who would like to see what happens after the series ends; a movie where they bring Walter back from the future to the present. I just can't see how that story could contain enough excitement to fill an entire movie, especially if there's no Walter there for the majority of the time (I need the comedic relief that only he can provide)!

No, I'd like to see a movie with all of the main characters and also contain the same feeling that Fringe brought every Friday night. There is a huge gap in the Fringe timeline between seasons 4 and 5 that could easily fill a feature presentation: the Observer takeover!

My idea is about what happens after the events season 4, starting with the birth of Etta, up to the point where the Fringe team encases themselves in amber. I want to see the specific events that occurred so that Olivia wasn't with the rest of the team when they did.  I want to see why William Bell was helping (or was he?) the team when they foiled his plans at the end of season 4 and he vanished. I want to see more of the invasion as described by Simon in "Letters of Transit." I want to see what role Sam Weiss played (though I forgot to add the actor's name to my credits). I want to see September's punishment and transformation into Donald, and him helping Walter. All this and much more!

And now, my vision for the poster:

Yes, Leonard Nimoy is in my movie.
It's hypothetical. Let me have my dream, dang it!

What do you think? Is there anything that you would want to see in this imaginary movie? Leave a comment below!

Fringe Movie Poster Contest (Relaunch)

Hello Fringedom! 

We're happy to see that you enjoyed the Fringe Anniversary Party! We want to thank you for attending the re-watch of the Pilot episode and participating in the cool Fringe trivia! 

On The Fringe Again has been working hard since then to make the next Fringe event a fun one: A CONTEST! Yes, a contest with judges, prizes and everything! For this contest what we want you to do is to design your own Fringe movie poster!

Fringe fans have proven to be very talented when it comes to fan art, we all remember that from the old Fringenuity days and we'd love to see you in action again. Whatever your creativity level, we'd love you to make a poster of YOUR Fringe movie.

Comedy? Drama? Action-packed? Adventure? Romantic? Terror? Thriller? Cartoon? All genres are allowed and all forms of artwork are accepted meaning drawings, photo edits, digital art or even a painting. It doesn't matter what your skill level is or how you choose to make your poster, all that matters is that you participate and have fun doing it!

Our panel of judges will select a winner and he/she will be awarded with an awesome Fringe related prize!
So be sure to be as original & creative as you possibly can!

All submissions must be e-mailed to: onthefringeagain@gmail.com by the deadline on October 16th. Also be sure to include your name and twitter handle in the e-mail.

  The winner will be announced the following Fringe Friday, October 23rd. But before any announcement is made, we're doing a re-watch of "Brown Betty"! We will watch the episode at 8pm-est with announcement of the contest winner at 9pm-est.

We can't think of a better way to end this imaginative contest than with a "Brown Betty" re-watch! Seriously, we would pay to see that episode turned into an actual movie at the theater! (with Red Vines, underneath a rainbow, next to a singing corpse)

Here are a couple of sample posters to give you an idea to start working on your own poster ASAP!

We hope you have a good time with this contest and most of all have fun!

#ReimagineTheImposibilities

Hi Fringe Family!

Myself and some other fans have started this group in hopes of keeping the spirit of our beloved show from dying out. We plan to host twitter parties and other special events so be sure to follow us on twitter at @OnTheFringe365.

Speaking of Fringe events it has been 7 years since the pilot aired on September 9th, 2008 and we have decided to celebrate the occasion with a #ReimagineTheImpossibilities anniversary party!

Photo from a TV Guide Magazine article promoting the Fringe pilot in September 2008.

On September the 9th we will be using the hashtag #ReimagineTheImpossibilities for this celebration event so be sure to use it in all of your Fringe related tweets!

We will also be doing trivia based on the pilot through out the day starting at 12 noon (EST) in hopes that fans in all time zones can participate. It could also be a good time to brush up on your Fringe knowledge! ;)


Another thing we thought would be a fun idea for everyone is to make a 7 out of objects like: redvines, apples, bacon, dandelions or anything else Fringe related that you have on hand. Take a picture of it and post it during the event with the hashtag #ReimagineTheImpossibilities.

 

(I also think it would be really nice to tag the cast and Joel when you tweet the pics so they can feel the Fringe love too) <3

After all of the above, we will watch the pilot at 9pm-EST (via Netflix, Amazon or DVD's) 
 and don't forget to choose an icon for the event here: http://onthefringeagain.tumblr.com/icons

Ok...I think that covers everything. 
Just remember that the passion we share for Fringe is the glue that holds our fandom together, and the only way for it to live on is through each and every one of us 
so know that you are an important part in keeping the beauty of our show alive.
