Giveaways Are Moving to Facebook

---

When I first created The Farrah Fawcett Fandom, part of the project’s purpose was to support my work with the Farrah Fawcett Foundation. At that time, I used the website not only as a place to share Farrah-related material, but also to gather information from people interested in the Foundation’s newsletter and related updates.

That is why the site originally included a sign-up page. It made sense for that stage of the project. If someone wanted to enter a giveaway, join the mailing list, or receive information from the Foundation, there needed to be a place to provide their name, email address, and mailing address when necessary.

I am no longer doing that work for the Farrah Fawcett Foundation, so there is no reason for me to continue collecting email addresses or personal information through the website. The sign-up page has been removed, and I will not be using the site to build or maintain a mailing list. Many of the email addresses collected in the past are likely outdated now anyway, especially for people who no longer follow the page or are no longer actively connected to the project. Continuing to maintain a list like that would not serve much practical purpose.

Going forward, all giveaways will be handled through Facebook comments. When I hold a giveaway, the instructions will be included directly in the Facebook post. People will enter by commenting on that post, and the winner will be selected from those eligible comments. There will be no separate website form, no email sign-up requirement, and no need to submit personal information unless someone wins and needs to provide a mailing address privately.

This also helps separate the website from the mechanics of giveaways. The website should not feel like a place where people are being funneled into a list. It should feel like a resource. Facebook can serve as the public entry point for giveaways, while the website remains focused on articles, essays, image history, and the larger body of work I am building. The giveaways will continue, but they will be simpler, more direct, and easier to manage.

Thank you for your continued support. I hope this change is clear, practical, and easy for everyone to follow moving forward.
