YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not very informed about Otalia cause I'm an ABC soap fan (even though they suck at lesbianism!) but I look foward to watching the actresses in this and also Hiliary B. Smith is in that promo shot up there, she plays Nora on OLTL and she was the reason I started watching soap operas (willingly) in the first place!

I am so excited and can't wait :)

So glad NBC/DOOL realized that CC in this series would only bring MORE attention to their show, and not mess it up.  It was less a tease than contractual issues that I am glad to see have been resolved.

Can I get a HELL YEAH?!?!

--------------------------

OTALIA!! WE. WANT.  IT.

here is an article from the ny times that is very interesting. it talks about CC getting started with venice.

Schmootz and the NYtimes bring us Venice news on the same day.

Fancy - and GOOD TIMES! 

Did anyone else catch the New York Times artical about this?  It's pretty awesome.

I am so looking forward to this webshow!

אני קורא, אז אני פשוט צריך לשמוע אותך

Hell yes! You had me at that first picture...

Whoop-de-freakin'-doo!

Those 30sec are gonna be the longest seconds in my life, HA!

Seriously, I think it's great that Venice gets some exposure. CC's definitely earned it through her work and dedication to her fanbase. Now. How fast can I transfer my $10 fee again? *throws cash at Venice production team 

LOL j/k. Just know that we're a loyal bunch and would do as much as we possibly can to help make this a succes. Cheers!  

It has been a great news day indeed. Absolutely thrilled with the Venice news and the NY Times article.

Excerpt from "Love That Dares to Tweet Its Name Sparks Web Series" by Lisa Bernhard published 8/24 on NYTimes.com http://bit.ly/DCzAv

Her leading lady on “Guiding Light,” Ms. Leccia, has agreed to join the cast without pay. One big difference from Otalia: “In the first 30 seconds you see these two women kiss,” Ms. Chappell said.

And here's the link to Crystal's Facebook with Crystal's quote on playing Gina and links to Mimi Torchin's story about Crystal playing Gina and Mimi's latest Otalia column.

See what Crystal said on today's big announcement that she will star in Venice as Gina! http://tinyurl.com/crystalfb

Natalia may have her "I love Olivia dance," but it's nothing compared to my I love Crystal (and Jessica) dance. See, I'm doing it right now. Please join in if you'd like.

Crystal is not just beautiful, she's also a very smart businesswoman as well. As another poster said, the web is the way of the future with soaps. It's just like when soaps went from radio to TV 50-some years ago.

And even though I've never watched DOOL, I may have to check it out when Dr. Carly is back in town. Hmm. I wonder if she makes house calls.?

Oh my, what great news, but that picture... WOW.

Somebody should just photoshop Grey Goose with that picture and send it to GG peeps.  There's your sponsor right there.

Oh, and how about AE/Logo hosting or sponsoring the show in some way?

Crystal just astounds me with her eyes committment to fans. There are few out there in the industry that would go so far as to spend their own time and money in efforts to breathe life and progress into such a worthwhile cause. Thank you Jessica, Thank you Kimmy, Thank you Crystal, Thank you Team Venice! Flippin rock, guys.

We mourn the loss of Otalia, but excitedly (and graciously) await the drama and intrigue of Ginani!! (still working on the portmanteau...)

I love Crystal & Jessica and the fact that they not only support our community, but hopefully, make our fantasies fan fictions dreams come true.  Thank you to everyone involved in this  - I'll definitely be watching.

Cheers~

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't get over how amazing it is that CC and JL would give up their free time in order to bring this series to the fans. I always kinda thought that the obsessive nature of lesbians when it comes to these sorts of storylines would be a little full on for actresses but CC and JL have whole-heartedly embraced, interacted and genuinely supported the community. You can't have anything but sh!tloads of respect (or in lesbian terms, undying love and adulation) for people who are so genuine and giving of their time. Thank you CC, JL and everyone else involved!

Super thrilled for Crystal and her team, on what is set to be a fabulous production. Ecstatic for us fans too - counting down the dayys!!

Bring. It.
