Once a show wraps, the production usually holds an industry sale that allows them to recoup some costs and clear the stages. In our case, I thought it would be nice to do something different. A little something for fandom. I suggested to Jay Firestone, President of Prodigy Pictures, that we hold an online auction and give Dark Matter fans a chance to purchase their very own Dark Matter memorabilia.

Well, I spoke to Jay today and he has decided to go one better. He’s not interested in making money off this wind down. He just wants to reward fandom. So, rather than auction off these items, we’re going to give them away. And if you want your very own Dark Matter something, all it’s going to cost you is a little time and a little effort.

We want you to write us a letter explaining what Dark Matter meant to you. Make sure to include your name and address for a chance to win anything from a Dark Matter t-shirt or cap to a costume, prop, or a part of the set.

I wanted a name for this mass giveaway, a tag that perfectly summed up what it was all about – thanking fandom for their incredible support and rewarding them for putting in that extra effort. And I thought about it and, finally, I came up with…

#ItsARealFanThing (not be confused with dozens of other #fanthing brandings of dubious merit).

Fandom, you all made Dark Matter one of syfy’s most-watched shows and we’re giving you the best possible reward (next to a season 4 of course). Yes! #ItsARealFanThing!

Over the next week, the production will collect, photograph, and itemize everything. I’ll post some of the items on this blog along with the Prodigy Pictures address and final contest details. And then, let the letter-writing begin!

I gave you the first production draft of the Dark Matter pilot. Then, I gave you the final shooting draft of “Isn’t That A Paradox?”. Now, I’d like you to have the final shooting draft of “All The Time In The World”. You remember? THIS episode?

All you need to do is hit twitter and tell me your favorite episode using the #ItsARealFanThing hashtag to kick off this ultimate fan giveaway event. I’m looking for 10k tweets! Once I have my tweets, you’ll get your script!

And remember…#ItsARealFanThing
