Last week, with the news that the syndicated fantasy show Legend of the Seeker had apparently been canceled, fans decided to mount a campaign to raise money for an ad in the industry publication Variety, thanking the producers for the show, but also pleading for a third season.
In three days, the organization, SaveOurSeeker.com, raised $8000, which will be used for an ad that will probably appear next week, according to Laura Ventura, one of the organizers of the campaign.
They are no longer accepting contributions, but in an effort to communicate enthusiasm for the show, they’re encouraging fans to pre-order Season Two, download the next episode on iTunes, and write and Tweet various industry folks.
In a show of support, people involved with the series, including Bridget Regan, have retweeted news of the fan effort.

This is great news! At least it gives us a bit of hope. I WILL be pre-ordering my copy of Season 2…. count on it..
Wow, I can’t wait to see the ad as well! I’m uber excited and I really hope that this worked. They’d be stupid not to see the dedication of this fanbase!!
Wow, great job!! Also, to everyone at the torch online, thanks for all your support and coverage!.
Great! I love all the seeker-fans for this. I really hope it will get attention and maybe even stop the fall of the seeker
That’s awesome. Can’t wait to see the ad!
Fans have changed decisions before and ABC/Disney haven’t made an announcement as to the fate of the show so we should continue to do what we can to ensure tat Legend of the Seeker continues in some way or other. Long live the Seeker!!
We’ve also gotten the support of Felicia Day via her twitter, and TV Guide Magazine Senior Writer Damien Holbrook. I’d like to think these two and others like them for helping us in our cause.
I’m not sure if this is outdated BUT according to this

They are still accepting contributions to the advertisement campaign. The current total is $8000 but the goal is $9144 for two advertisements; one in Variety magazine and a half advert in The Hollywood Reporter.
