Fake Tweet Notice

hugs4chris:

THIS is a fake tweet.

So is THIS.

Please stop reblogging this stuff - it’s nothing but lies about him. It’s very easy to check Chris’s actual twitter if you’re unsure about something.

He’s not a habitual tweet’n’delete type at all. The only time he’s ever deleted tweets is to fix a typo and retweet.

Doing stuff like this is essentially the same thing as spreading lies. Chris deserves a whole lot more respect than that, guys.

Carson Phillips is Going to Die Tomorrow (Friday, March 15)

Twitter Project - All day tomorrow, we’ll be tweeting hugs, love, and condolences for Carson to @briandannelly, @chriscolfer, @RobAguire, and @MVLondon.

You can use the hashtags #Hugs4Carson, #RIPCarson, and #WeMissCarson as well as #SBLMovie in your tweets. Tweet once, tweet 100 times. Tag who and what you like.

We are not trying to trend anything, this is an all-day event. Please spread your tweets out over time - don’t spam anyone.

I guess this will be a bit like a Twitter funeral for Carson. but please let’s not get too dark or morbid, OK? The point is to let the film’s writer, director,  producer, and musician know just how much their work has meant to us.

Please be kind, be thoughtful, say thank you. This film has really affected a lot of us, even changed some of us. It’s nice to show our gratitude and appreciation to those who made it happen.

Feel free to also include tweets to the rest of the cast if you like, as well as (Chris’s management team who backed the film.)

Please reblog and tweet this to your followers to help spread the word. Thanks so much! (((((Huggers and Struckers)))))

Help Us Wish Chris and Brian a Happy One Year Adoption-versary!

We all remember the day that Chris tweeted that first picture of Brian the cat - April 11th, 2012.

Their one year anniversary is just around the corner and we have the purrfect (hehe) surprise planned for both of them! We know that Brian has quite a sweet tooth and has stolen muffins we’ve sent Chris in the past. Well, we have arranged with the muffin-basket people at Snookies Cookies a special custom order of catnip muffins made JUST for Brian Colfer. [One of their bakers makes homemade cat treats for her own cats, and offered to do this just for us!]

We would like to send the boys an anniversary basket of goodies [example is shown above], including some muffins and custom logo cookies for Chris as well as the specially-made cat-friendly muffins for Brian.

If you would like to help make this possible, we’re collecting funds to cover the cost of the goodie basket. Should we collect more than the amount needed for the basket, all extra fundage will be funneled into our TLOS Birthday Project that is providing copies of The Land of Stories to hospitalized children in honor of Chris’s birthday on May 27th. [More info on that here.]

As usual, a custom card will be made and sent along with the basket, and all donor names will be included inside the card.

The deadline to donate for the basket is Sunday, March 17th. Submit your donation on http://www.paypal.com to hugs4chris@comcast.net under the personal > gift tab (where available.) A Paypal account is NOT required to do this. You can pay via credit/debit card or checking account. international payments are accepted as well.

The deadline to donate to the TLOS Birthday Project is May 1st, donations can be sent the same way. You may submit one donation to cover both projects if you like - just specify in your notes $X for the basket, $XX for the book drive.

Donations can be made in ANY amount. Every dollar helps.

WE WILL NOT BE TWEETING ABOUT THE MUFFIN BASKET. We ask that you please not tweet about it TO Chris either - you are welcome to tweet the link of this post to your followers to help spread the word (and we hope you will), just please don’t tag Chris. Surprises are not as fun when they’re leaked.

As always, any questions about either project - please email me at hugs4chris@comcast.net.

Remember when the #TLOSHoliday Project moved Chris to tears?

You all did such an amazing job with that project - we were so overwhelmed with your support and generosity! :) It went so well that we feel our that our mission of getting copies of The Land of Stories into the hands of hospitalized children needs to continue.Those kids are a big part of why Chris wrote this book in the first place - he was one of them when he was a young boy.

We knew we could count on Chris’s dedicated fans to help us with this effort, so we’re holding another TLOS book drive in honor of Chris’s birthday.

But to make #TLOSBirthday work, we really need your help! All the details about how to participate are here: TLOS Birthday Project for Chris

This project is open to everyone, regardless where you live - there are 2 ways you can participate and donate. Please read the above link for all the info.

The other way you can help is to blog and tweet the above link and help us spread the word. Use the #TLOSBirthday tag on Twitter, and here on Tumblr make sure to tag Chris Colfer and Hugs4Chris on your original posts so we can reblog your posts too! Reblogs of this post and the above link are helpful as well, of course!

We’ll be accepting monetary donations until May 1st, so keep tweeting and blogging to get the word out to your followers.The more people we can reach, the more books we can get to those kids in the hospitals.

We would love to be able to get The Land of Stories to hundreds of sick children again, and we’re counting on everyone to help out as much as they can.

Thanks again for your continued support. Together we can make Chris’s birthday extra wonderful!

The #TLOSBirthday Project for Chris Colfer’s 23rd Birthday

Chris’s birthday is coming up and of course, Hugs4Chris would like to do something special again for our special guy.

The TLOSHoliday book drive we did at Christmas was so successful that we’ve decided we’d really like to continue with round two – TLOSBirthday. Chris was so touched that you guys donated 471 copies of The Land of Stories to hospitalized children. We’d like to be able to reach even more kids this time! 

If you were around for the holiday project, this is basically version 2.0 –  a repeat of last time. If you’re new – welcome! We’re so happy you’ve joined us!  

Read on - everything is outlined below.

You have two ways to participate in the #TLOSBirthday Project:

·         OPTION # 1:

Buy/collect actual copies of the book yourself and donate locally to a nearby children’s hospital, the pediatric unit at a regular hospital, or a Ronald McDonald House. You will need to call the hospital / RMH beforehand to arrange a time and place to donate. They may also prefer audiobooks vs. actual books. Please call and check before you buy anything. Do not show up unannounced.

Ask your parents, relatives, friends, teachers, co-workers etc. to donate copies of the book (or money to buy copies of the book) to help you. Several people did this last time and were able to donate a larger amount of books. Get the people you know involved so that we can get as many copies of TLOS into the hands of hospitalized kids as we can.

PLEASE print out our BOOKPLATE and AUDIO BOOKPLATE (click that) and attach them inside the books and audio books you donate. You can use regular paper and a simple glue stick to do this, it doesn’t have to be anything fancy. Please do not donate items without the bookplates attached. Thank you.

IF YOU ARE DONATING LOCALLY – you MUST send us your information and photos to be included in the project. Please try to take photos of yourself and the book(s) you donate at the hospital (near a sign or something, if possible) and send it to us at hugs4chris@comcast.net along with your name, the name and location of the hospital (or Ronald McDonald House) you donated to, and the number of books you donated.

Send us 2 or 3 different photos if you like. We’ll put as many photos as we can into a photo album and send it to Chris again. The last photo album made him teary, so we need another batch of great photos of your pretty faces!

·         OPTION # 2:

Donate directly to Hugs4Chris via Paypal. All funds collected will be used to purchase books and audiobooks that will be donated to hospitals around the US. Submit your donation on http://www.paypal.com to hugs4chris@comcast.net under the personal > gift tab (where available.) A Paypal account is NOT required to do this.

Ask your parents, relatives, friends, teachers, co-workers etc. to contribute funds to your donation. Our largest donations came from those who did this last time. If you can get 5 friends to contribute $5 each, a parent to contribute $20, a co-worker to chip in $10 – it all adds up and will provide more children with books. Several people did this last time and were able to donate large amounts of money. Get the people you know involved so that we can get as many copies of TLOS into the hands of hospitalized kids as we can.

As of right now, a $12.00 donation will buy ONE copy of a The Land of Stories book, and an $18.00 donation will buy ONE copy of a The Land of Stories audiobook. This could change, as the prices on Amazon and the Barnes and Noble websites do fluctuate. (They went up about $1 each during the holiday project.)

You can donate ANY amount – every dollar helps. If you can’t afford to go buy or fund a whole book or audio book and can only donate $2.00, that’s amazing and wonderful and it all adds up! :) Please just contribute what you can. You can also donate more than once – this will be a 9 week long project.

A list of monetary donor names will also be sent to Chris along with the photo album. If you contribute both ways, your name will be on the list and your photo(s) will be in the album.

The deadline for monetary donations is Wednesday, May 1st, 2013.

The deadline for photo submissions is Monday, May 6th, 2013.

It’s also a huge, huge help to us if everyone will please reblog and tweet about this as often as you can to help spread the word, too! If you can’t donate, promotion is a great way of contributing. Please let all your fandom friends know.

Remember, the more people who help out, the more kids we can get books to!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. Thank you so much for your continued support! xoxo
