It’s a well known fact that “fans” often earn their name. Fanatical individuals obsessing over the smallest details of their favorite show or actor, voicing their usually strong opinions loud and frequently, running campaigns for things they’d like to see happen, getting angry over things they disagree with, expressing somewhat obsessive love and admiration for the creative souls behind the object of their affection…
Fans often develop a bad reputation. The most aggressive usually the loudest forcing their opinion on anyone who’ll listen. Get a group of fans riled up and they can be a force to feared but give them a worthwhile cause to support and they just might surprise you.
Late last year CastleTV.net in association with the California Browncoats hosted a Castle Fan Charity Convention in Los Angeles. The event was attended by members of the cast and crew including showrunner Andrew Marlowe. While attendance was low the group raised a phenomenal $15,746.46 for 4 charities nominated by the guests. Regular and guest cast members Seamus and Juliana Dever gave up time during their vacation to Australia to meet with fans in Sydney and Melbourne and between the two cities they raised further $4,513.14 bringing the total to over $20,000.
