Kids From Fame Media

We're Gonna Live Forever!

2012-02-20T07:00:00.002Z

I just want to say a huge THANKYOU for the many emails and messages of support I've received over the last few days. You guys are awesome!

I was deeply touched and at times moved to tears by some of the things you had to say about Kids From Fame Media and also myself. The messages were a much needed morale boost and I'm sure everyone will be pleased to hear that they have inspired me to continue with the site.

I've been looking at new sites for storage and have already made a start on uploading files. This is going to take some time but I do intend to restore all the Fame music and video downloads links so please have patience while I do that.

I've gone through the posts and feel the Music links are the most important so I will restore them first, followed by the video links. The posts for Christmas songs, Love Songs and Halloween songs by other artists I've choosen not to restore, as they are not specifically Fame related so those posts I have completely deleted, although new ones will appear in the future.

For the time being I've also deleted the posts for the Fame Magazines and Annuals. My intention had been to repost them in the future as we hit the 30th aniversary of their release. To add new links to read all this material online as well as to be able to download them. So I see no point in replacing the old links now.

My priority is to keep the site going with new posts so I am currently working on restoting the links to the posts already set for March and April. In order to do this I've cancelled the rest of the posts for February, to allow me that little bit more time and so I'm not working to such a tight time scale. So there will be no posts for a couple of weeks I'm afraid.

However, the good news is Kids From Fame Media will return with all new posts from March 1st and Fame is gonna live forever!

So thanks once again for all the love and support, it really is greated appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Love Mark.

Bad News - Deleted Files!

2012-02-14T07:44:00.004Z

I discovered yesterday that all the files I've uploaded over the last 3 years have been deleted by some unknown source! It looks like someone has hacked into my mediafire account and wiped the lot.

This means that none of the download links will be working on here or the episode guide for any of the previous posts. No video, No music, No magazines, No scripts, absolutely nothing is left! All my time and hard work has gone to waste.

I've emailed mediafire to see if they can help but the likelihood is I'd have to start again re-uploading everything and slowly correcting the links. I’m in the process of moving home so I don’t see how I would have time to do that and to keep the site going with future posts. I guess I'm in shock at the moment that anyone would do that and in my present state of mind I’m not sure I can be bothered to keep things going anyway so that would sadly mean the end of the site.

There are already posts set to go live all the way through to August. Some with videos to watch and interviews to read which will still be okay but anything with a download link won’t work. At the moment I’m not sure whether to let things continue to go live or to cancel them.

In a half hearted attempted to keep things going I have quickly re-uploaded the music posts for the rest of this week so they should work but it soon dawned on me that these posts are a drop in the ocean compared to what has been lost and what is the point keeping the current posts going without having the back catalogue of posts for people to download.

I’m sorry for leaving things up in the air like this and I guess I’m going to have to sleep on things and review the situation at the weekend, when I have more time.

My apologies,

Mark

Doris Schwartz Time & Again Season 2 Behind the Scenes

2012-02-06T07:08:00.000Z

As I receive quite a few messages about my fan fiction story “Doris Schwartz time and Again”, I thought I’d write an update on what is happening. I’m not giving away the storyline though, I’m afraid!

I mentioned last year that when I started the story I didn’t know where it was going or what was actually happening, I just wanted to see how things developed.

Well, by the end of season 1 I knew to make things work I needed a to know where I was taking the story so that I could plan ahead and plant seeds of the stories that were to come. So I did just that and developed plan for where the season 3 finale would go and knew the story arc I wanted to take through season 3.

I then worked backwards and started to develop ideas for season 2.
Although, Season 2 did rather take on a life of it’s own as I knew I wanted to save Nicole from dying but this felt should result in consequences and as Danny was the only other main character in the car it seemed he was the natural choice to kill off. Sorry Danny fans! I know some of you were shocked by this but as this is a time travel story that does mean Dead characters can still be part of the story.

The planned 9 episodes quickly grew to 12 as the ideas and drama around the Danny/Nicole events just flowed so I realised that I was going to need more episodes to do the story justice. Originally that storyline was just ment to fill 2 episodes mid way through but as the ideas came and I knew the hospital was going to be a major setting I soon realised that it needed to be the end of the season leading to the finale.

People have asked when we are going to get some answers to what's going on. Please be patient as if I give too much away at once that means the story will be over. The plan is that as season 4 is the final season the episodes there will address what's happening. So we have got a whole season of more mystery to come before we get there. Although the season 3 finale will revisit some of the events that have already happened and link some of them together.

One thing I wanted to did want to do in season 2 was include more music to make the story more Fame like. I'm fully aware that the time travel story is not something people would normally associate with Fame, so I thought including more songs would help with that and not just the Fame songs we already know and love but to create moments where characters could perform other songs. Hopefully that is working and I plan to include more in season 3.

Anyway, I do now know where season 3 is going and have already written some of them and also have a rough plan of how the story will end in season 4 next year.

I have been asked if I will write another story focussing on a different character when this story ends. Well, I will be writing other stories but they will be different to the current time travel mystery as I don’t think I could come up with a similar story for a different character without pretty much repeating myself. So I’ve come up with an idea which I’m calling “Fame duets”, which will be a series but each episode will focus on 2 characters as we catch up with their lives after school but there will be an ongoing thread throughout each episode.

Still that’s all in the future and there's lots more time travel with Doris to come first. New episodes go live later in the year!

As always keep you questions and ideas coming, and keep reading!

Fame on the Smash Hits Readers Poll 1982

2012-01-04T07:02:00.000Z

"Smash Hits" was a British pop magazine, that was essential reading for us Kids back in the 80s. Each year they ran a poll where readers voted for their favourites in various categories. Bearing in mind it was a pop magazine rather than focussing on TV stars, The 1982 poll featured Fame in a number of categories:

"Fame" was voted as the 2nd Best TV programme, only beated by "Top of The Pops".

"The Kids From Fame" Album was voted the 2nd best album of 1982.

"Fame" by Irene Cara was voted the 17th Best Single of 1982 , whilst it was also voted as the 9th most annoying song of the year!

"Starmaker" was voted as the 18th Best Single of the year.

The Kids from Fame were voted as the 15th most promising new pop act of the year, despite the fact that they were actors rather than a pop band.

Irene Cara was voted as the 15th Best Female vocalist and Valerie Landsburg was voted as the 20th Best Female vocalist.

Valerie was also voted as the 17th most fanciable Female Human Being!

A year later at the end of 1983 when the next readers poll took place, Fame Mania was well and truly over in the U.K. and the show didn't feature in the top 20 for any category. It couldn't even make the top 20 Tv programmes!

Fame News!

2012-01-02T08:00:00.006Z

Welcome back everyone and Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.

It's a big year ahead of us as Fame celebrates it's 30th Anniversary rgis year. Who can believe it's been 30 years alreasy!! I know for American fans the show started in January but for those of us in the U.K. it first started in June 1982 so we'll be having the official Celebrations then, although we will be celebrating all year as we mark the Fame landmarks.

As it's an important year I'd like everyone to be involved and share your thoughts on what Fame means to you. Just email me or contact me on Facebook to say anything about the show. It can be as long or as short as you like and include anything you want to say i.e. what the show meant to you back in 1982 or how important the show is to you now or both. You simply might just want to wish other fans a happy 30th Celebration or send in a picture of yourself or talk about your favourite cast member, anything you like. I'll be setting up a special page for peoples comments that will go live in June. It's our anniversary so get your thinking caps on, get writing, contact me and get involved.

The Episode of the month is "Childhood's End" from Season 2. As the DVD version is edited I've been asked to post the whole uncut version. Posts for that start on January 20th.

Eaten too much over the holiday Period? Need to lose weight? We'll let Janet Jackson help you! Janet has become the face of American weight loss company, Nutrisystem.

Janet says:
"If you really want to lose weight and learn how to keep it off, you need a plan that's easy, that works for you, and that fits into your life."

For more information click to go to the Nutrisystem website:
