I really wasn’t prepared for this. Check out the latest Downfall parody care of Nik.

If you don’t know what the hell’s going on here then check out this comment from the director of the scene.

Now we just need to be rickrolled…

JT of MZP has been busy with both Jeannie and Marti. Very, very cool.

Always nice to pull this stuff out in meetings…

UPDATE: Frank and GUN:

I’m not sure that I’ve made it quite clear just how grateful, flattered and completely blown away the whole Slingers team have been by the fan response to our little slice of science fiction. I’d hoped we’d find an audience once the show was on the air, but had never imagined we’d have so much support so very early on. Every day brings email or Twitter comments that knock me for six.

A couple of days ago I got a DM from Haruka asking me if I’d seen the “cute stuff” going on over on LiveJournal. I had not. So I’m sat on the bus listening to ‘Astronaut’ by Amanda Palmer suddenly looking at a set of Slingers LJ icons created by deepfishy.

Of course I missed my stop.

After I left a thank you comment over on Things Deep and Shallow deepfishy replied:

icons are a cornerstone of livejournal fandom, and it’s such a pretty trailer. I’m only sad the current clips of JUNIOR didn’t translate very well to 100×100 pixels.

Also, I think this is the earliest in a fandom’s life I’ve seen an lj community spring up (swinging_2263) – the only other one I can think of is Dr Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, which had the force of the Joss Whedon fanbase already.

Swinging 2263? How cool is that…

I’ll see what I can do about some better Junior images. Having been involved in social media for a while now I know how important fan access is and once we have everything green-lit I’ll be pushing for us to be as open as possible in every aspect of the show. Sleepydog and I have been talking about this for years now and luckily there are trailblazers like the Leverage and Eureka teams making some of our ideas going forward seem less insane.

Check out the Eureka Unscripted blog if you haven’t already. We’re so stealing that idea.

So again – THANK YOU for all the support. We’ll try and pay you back by blowing shit up in an interesting way.

We’re in the April issue of SFX magazine:

Unleash the Clicken to embiggen. And a big hello to all the SFX readers. We’ve had a lot of online love, but I think that may be out first print article outside of the industry trades. Correct me if I’m wrong.

And we have some fan art:

Cheers to Richard and SFX for taking an interest so early on and to Craig over at The Establishing Shot for the above.

Warms the cockles on such a winter’s day.

Check out the Sleepydog blog for a little GUN-love. It is Valentine’s Day after all…
