We are very excited to share this news with everyone involved with Fandom Rocks. After the jump, there are vague spoilers regarding filming the end of Supernatural Season 3. They are very vague spoilers, but if you absolutely cannot click past the jump, we will see you after the finale to share the news. Now … onto the news!

Did you hear something? It just might’ve been the sound of the Frontline revving their engines for the next campaign! (Sadly, we’re not driving anything as beautiful as the Metallicar. Also? We probably shouldn’t try to be witty.)

Fandom Rocks is proud to announce the charities for the third campaign. Fans voted, and the results are in - your donations will support WriteGirl and Invisible Children.

WriteGirl was nominated by Sera Gamble. Created in 2001, they strive each year to achieve their mission - “within a community of women writers, WriteGirl promotes creativity and self-expression to empower girls.” We have a feeling fans connected with this charity not only based on Sera’s endorsement, but also because of all the female writers in our fandom. You know who you are.

Invisible Children was nominated by the fans. An unanticipated outcome of a filmmaking journey, Invisible Children is a humanitarian effort whose mission is to “use the power of stories to change lives around the world.”

Both charities focus on community - large or small - and dedicate themselves to guiding the community members to their highest potential. Now is our chance to join their efforts, advocate their causes, and support their goals.

The goal of every campaign is to raise funds equal to the previous campaign. Let’s see if we can tip the scale a little further this time.

Fandom Rocks Mention …

Fandom Rocks and fellow Supernatural charity campaign Operation: Winchester received a nice write-up in a recent Blog Critics Magazine article. (You can find the Fandom Rocks mention on page three.) The article follows the adventures of the author as they continue to explore the Supernatural fandom. We are glad to have you in the mix!

Rebecca is representing Fandom Rocks and the Supernatural fandom this weekend at the second annual Sci-Fi on the Rock convention. If you are in the neighborhood, please say hello.

Learn more about the convention, the guests, and special events by visiting the official Sci-Fi on the Rock web site and their Facebook group.

We hope everyone is having a great weekend at Sci-Fi on the Rock!

New episodes next week!

By the way, a little bird told us there is a special web site for the new Supernatural episode airing next Thursday, April 24th. We are avoiding the spoilers, but for those of you who aren’t avoiding them - spoilers ahoy!

The ink has dried on our second campaign. The donations have been delivered to the Lawrence Humane Society and the Injured Marine Semper Fi Fund. Each charity received $1,175.00 for a Campaign #2 grand total of $2,350.00. We put together a PDF report (Fandom Rocks Report September 2007-February 2008) to document all of the campaign funding sources. If you have any questions or feel the information is incorrect, don’t hesitate to let us know.

To keep the Donate page easy to read, we are archiving the donation information for Campaign #2 here. You can find the progress meter and list of donors after the jump.
