With so many different campaigns going to save shows recently it could almost be a weekly feature here, and here is yet another for you to consider. I bring this one up partly out of a selfish desire to see it succeed, because
The Dresden Files has become my second favorite Sci Fi Original, but also because I think it actually has a shot at working.
There is a bunch of helpful info over at the group's
main site. They have a letter writing campaign where if you email your letter to Dresden fan Belynda she will print it out and mail it for you, email and phone contact info for Sci Fi, links to a petition, and a host of other options for you to help out.

Sci Fi has had a good run of it lately. With the continued success of
Battlestar Galactica and the
Stargate franchise, and the surprisingly high rated debut of
Eureka earlier this year they are becoming known for their original programming. Next up is
The Dresden Files, which holds the potential to join those two in their successes.
The series is based on the popular series of books by Jim Butcher (pictured), and while we are still almost a month out from the debut, there is already a lot of discussion about the show on the internet. There is an active forum over at
jim-butcher.com and the
Dresden Files LJ Community to get you started.
