The First Year of Fans of Mark Lindsay Chapman:
What We've Accomplished and Where We're Going






"Supernatural Arcane Anniversary" by Alex Arcane 2008
Thank You Alex! 

 

From our start on September 22, 2007 to the present, we’ve showcased Mark in many different ways, including Mark Wallpapers, Screensavers, Audio Video Clips from Titanic, The Langoliers, Swamp Thing, Beethoven’s 4th, Murder She Wrote with more to come, as well as photo galleries of Mark in Swamp Thing, The Langoliers, Titanic, Beethoven’s 4th, Trapped: Buried Alive, Nash Bridges, JAG, Murder She Wrote, Charmed, Walker Texas Ranger, Silk Hope, Silk Stalkings, Renegade and more to come….

 

The year 2008 brought us many new and exciting things to celebrate with Mark fans.  January 2008 brought the release of Swamp Thing: The Series on DVD and then the release of Swamp Thing The Series Volume 2 in July 2008.  March 2008 brought the theatrical release of Chapter 27 with a July 2008 rental release date in Blockbuster Video Stores.

 

In 2008 we implemented several new features outside the fan site to promote Mark. We launched the new Fans of MLC Myspace and Facebook Pages in February, 2008 and the Fans of MLC You Tube Page in April, 2008. We also created photo galleries of Mark outside the fan site at Photobucket, Bravenet, Flickr and My Photo Album.

 

In late March 2008, our own Arcania got the chance of a lifetime when she met and had her photo taken with Mark. Alas, as for myself (Antonia), I couldn’t be there to have my photo with Arcania and Mark, but I’m photos manager so I’m constantly buried in Mark photos (what a way to go!) Do I like my job – now what do ya’ll think!!

 

On April 1, 2008 we received the biggest and best gift of them all – the official endorsement and acknowledgement from Mark Lindsay Chapman himself. Mark graciously provided us with wonderful publicity photos as well as publicity photos from Swamp Thing and Titanic.

 

In June 2008 we posted the first MLC Calendar with photos of Mark from his various film and TV roles gracing a new calendar page every month. The calendars will continue throughout 2008 and into 2009 too!

 

The year 2008 has been so good to Mark in terms of fan participation. To reiterate, Mark’s fans are the best. Mark fans have graciously shared so much with us. MLC fan Erin Kelly shared articles about Mark and photos she had taken from The Langoliers on Photobucket. Erin also shared an article/interview with Mark in his role in Bram Stoker’s The Mummy from Fangoria Magazine. MLC fan Alex Arcane has so graciously shared his magnificent drawings of Dr. Arcane with us. MLC fan Ariana has been our best pal in her support of Mark on the MLC Imdb discussion board and the MLC Myspace Page. Erin and Alex have also added to this page. In September, we were so pleased with the fan response we received in helping us to celebrate Mark’s birthday. We received many Happy Birthday wishes, drawings and graphics going out to Mark; we thank each and everyone and more importantly, Mark thanks you too!

 

We’ve had a lot of fun and enjoyed every minute of putting together new and different features and ideas that we hope are entertaining and pleasing to MLC fans and we have many more ideas waiting to be implemented. We invite fans to give us their suggestions about what they would like to see us do. Please email us and let us know if there’s anything specific you would like to see us do in promotion of Mark. We’d love to hear from you at fansofmlc@fansofmarklindsaychapman.com

 

In closing, most of all, we want to thank the true inspiration for all of this: Mark Lindsay Chapman.  We have enjoyed doing what we can to honor, celebrate and pay tribute to the man we believe to be one of the best of the best in the acting profession. Thanks, Mark, you really are the best!  We plan to continue doing the best we can to promote and pay tribute to Mark. See you all same time next year!
