Eskimo power activate – send us your DeRo stories!
No, we don't mean fanfiction. We've got HoHoHo Fest for that (take as long as you need to appreciate how elegantly we slipped this pimp in here, lol).
As you know, we have wrapped up EKP to focus on other projects, and your outpouring of support, love and understanding has been incredible and humbling to behold. But we're just not quite happy unless we can make a stir, so we're hoping that you'll help us with one last important campaign!
For over two years, we've pimped AWZ as a whole and the DeRo storyline in particular in any way we could. Now we would love for you to help us show The Powers That Be why this pairing mattered. And we don't mean Dennis and Igor, who have always been keenly aware and incredibly supportive of their viewership, both international and German. We mean the makers of the show, the people who may not necessarily understand why these storylines in particular attracted such a large and loyal following. We want them to understand. We especially want them to know that the love for these storylines goes way beyond "uhm, they're pretty and it's hot when they snog."
To do this, we need your help:
Tell us the story of DeRo and you. Tell us how this pairing and this storyline attracted your attention, and why. Tell us why it mattered enough to you to follow with such fervour through the years. Perhaps watching these episodes helped you through a difficult time in your life; perhaps they made you realise something about yourself or the world that you hadn't known before. Perhaps they simply moved you in a way you hadn't expected to be moved. We've been told such things by commenters a number of times, and have always greatly appreciated those personal touches. Now we'd like to invite you to tell us again, so we can pass it on to the people who should really hear it.
Please understand that we're not trying to pry. You can make it as long or short, as personal or general as you want. Either German or English is perfectly fine. We'll collect these letters and pass them on to TPTB, but will NOT share them with anyone else. You can trust us to be confidential.
For the three of us, the DeRo experience has always been a love story – not just between the characters but between us and Show as well. It's been a complicated relationship, sometimes tender, sometimes destructive, often mocking and always unpredictable. Now we'd like to hear about yours.
You can either send us your contributions through a private message on the EKP channel, or email them to us at eskimokiss.project@gmail.com. You don't need to follow any particular format, and there's no "correct" way to write your comment. Whether it was Dennis and Igor's acting that caught your attention or something about the way the DeRo story was written or developed, the way the show was handling LGBT issues, or a personal factor contributing, or a combination of all… anything is welcome. Just tell it the way you're most comfortable telling it.
This may be the last significant time we can wield what little influence we have, so we really hope you'll take the opportunity and make your voice heard. Let's not make this one a trickle or a murmur. Let's make it a flood. We want stacks and stacks of letters! We're greatly looking forward to your contributions.
Finally, thank you – for this, in advance, and for all your love and involvement over the past two years. We won't say goodbye because you'll doubtlessly see us still poking our meddling noses all over the place, and we hope to still see you guys around.
With love, epic noserubs and a considerable amount of Maxivodka,
Lil & Aldi
