By: www.saveourseeker.com On April 26, 2010 Entertainment Weekly reported that 'Legend of the Seeker' had been canceled after only two seasons, but the fans hope that their passionate efforts will result in a third season. Thus, a second call for participation was put forth for design entries and fans voted again to choose their favorite ad. The winning design, created by Miriam Kintscher, who also created the first ad, is the representation of the fans' energy, passion and gratitude. The 'Save Our Seeker' campaign received an enormous boost on May 9th, when Terry Goodkind, the creator of the best selling series “Sword of Truth” on which 'Legend of the Seeker' is based, announced his support for the fan-led campaign. “I'm proud to lend my support to the 'Save Our Seeker' fan community," says Terry Goodkind. “Your words and your efforts are getting notice.
