The Binder. The binder was awesome! Not having taken the time to even visit the Binder thread, totally unintentionally, I really had no idea what it was gonna look like. I was absolutely blown away by what you guys all put together for that. And so were the cast and crew! Especially the cast. I mentioned it before, but the cast was pouring over that book like it was full of baby pictures! I wish I'd gotten more shots of them doing just that, but the timing was never right. The best was seeing Eliza all by herself slowly turning pages as she took in each one!

I think it was Miracle who asked who gets to keep the book, and before I could even say anything, Alana pointed out that the pages would be available online (cause she'd taken some time to look through the book as well) so that anyone who wanted could get the images. So I threw out a crazy idea and Miracle said that sounded fantastic, so I spread the idea to the cast.

I was gonna surprise QG with this, but it seems better to announce it while people might still be paying attention. Gonna cross post this like crazy to make sure it gets seen.

The Cast is signing the binder itself and I will bring it back to QuoterGal for her to keep as a thank you from the cast for putting it together! Meanwhile, they're hopefully gonna go download the pages for themselves to keep! Alana has the book right now and is gonna hit up Enver and Dichen on Monday to ask if they will sign it (and so they get to see it, duh) and I will pick it up at some point and return it to QG. I'm gonna leave it with them for a few days so hopefully they can pass it around looking at it, and spread the word of it's availability online. Perhaps those with twitter can mention it to the cast/crew with twitter accounts as an added way of spreading it?

QuoterGal, no promises on who all will sign it, I didn't see who even signed it last night, but those of the cast I spoke to about it (Miracle, Tahmoh, Fran, and Olivia) all seemed to be gung ho about the idea. They really love the effort you put into bringing that together and were very open to showing their appreciation. My apologies for not getting a group photo with it! I wasn't thinking!

Addendum to the overall report: Harry's stand in said early on that I should tell you all that the best of Dollhouse is yet to come, you're (we're) all gonn be blown away by the remaining episodes. Starting I suppose, last night, though I still haven't been able to watch them! arg!

bobw1o you just made me teary eyed for some reason. Glad that the cast enjoyed it.

That an almost majority of the cast present at delivery time was gung-ho about signing and giving the album back to Karen/QG as a keepsake is just indicative of why we go all out in thought and deed for the Whedon fandom. He works with not only artistic people but with really, really fine, feeling people.

You know, I just feel blessed at times like this to be part of the fandom.

You and me both, Tonya.

Thanks, everyone, for your kind words - as I said on the black, this was truly a combined fan efort, and that's a fact. bobw1o - that is so beyond thoughtful of you - and the Dollhouse folks - it made me tear up and there was verklemptness, too.)

Below is basically a re-post of what I just posted at whedonesque.com - I'll cross-post it in the cake thread, too...

Okey-dokey, the Dollhouse Fan Thank-you site is live, thanks to The One True b!X. Feel free to pass it around to interested folks, and of course to the Dollhousian cast and crew.

If you need a shortened URL for twitter and such, b!X made this: http://bit.ly/dollhousethanks 

(It would be supernacular to have cast and crew photos & twit-reactions on the site, so I hope everyone's cool with that...)

I didn't produce anything for the binder because I'm not very arty in that way, but I've just been on the thank you site to find that you guys have said all that I would have said, but better.

I have tears in my eyes from reading your works, so well done to everyone who submitted something, and HUGE thanks to Quotergal for putting it all together and making it happen.

Having watched this week's Dollhouse last night, I love Enver all the more (he was Topher! I couldn't believe it.) and am so excited to see the rest of the season, and sad that it will be all there is.

You guys totally rock and I'm so pleased that the cast and crew appreciated all your hard work. It makes me proud to be a Whedonite (even if I'm a lurky one).

Gotta get over to the cake thread and do my thanks and praise there too.
