It has been almost 3 years since I created this fansite, and they have been three years of joy, sweat and tears.

I started this project on February 24, 2011 with just a twitter account called glee4fans, knowing that I wanted to launch the fansite as soon as I could. After quietly working on the site in secret for almost a month we launched it on March 19, 2011. And ever since then we’ve tried to update the site as often as we could.

In these 3 years we:
• - had 19 different layouts
• - were offline two times to change everything
• - had over 350,000 pictures in our galleries, with more than 2.5 Million views!
• - had over 500,000 unique visitors and over 785,000 hits
• - reached over 11,700 Followers on Twitter!
• - stayed up way too many nights to watch Glee as it aired live in the US
• - met and got to talk to so many people that I am proud to call my friends

…

These 3 years have been a rollarcoaster of emotions. We’ve had our ups and downs. But now it’s time to say goodbye…

I just want to take this moment to say thank you all! Thank you for everything. With this site I achieved things that I never dreamed of! From all the friends I’ve made and for whom I am so thankful to have in my life, (you know who you are <3 ) to all the memories we've made together, not to mention all the conversations I've had with so many of you on twitter... I will never forget this time!

From "Being a part of something special makes you special right?" to "All I ever wanted was to feel special, to feel chosen, and I just wanted to thank you so much for giving me that." I think these two quotes are really fitting right now because this is really how I feel about what I reached and achieved with GFO!

So again I just want to thank you all! All the people who have visited the site and everyone who has helped me with it over the years!!!

Xoxo Melanie

FYI the galleries and our twitter will still be online for a while before I delete everything

The Box Scene Project & Young Storytellers Foundation Team Up for the Biggest Glee Giveaway Yet!

Maryville, IL – The Box Scene Project and Young Storytellers Foundation, a Los Angeles based charity that works to develop literacy within the public school system, are partnering up again to provide Glee fans a unique opportunity to give to charity.

Scheduled for February 22, Young Storytellers Foundation’s BIGGEST show yet will bring to life plays written by school children and feature several Glee cast members. Previous participants include Darren Criss, Naya Rivera, Kevin McHale, Dot-Marie Jones, Max Adler, Harry Shum Jr., Iqbal Theba, and more! Tickets went on sale January 13, but The Box Scene Project (in conjunction with Young Storytellers Foundation) is offering fans the chance to be a part of the show.

From January 20 through February 8, fans are encouraged to participate in The Box Scene Project’s latest fundraiser. A $5 donation puts fans in the running for VIP tickets to the show (plus airfare and hotel stay) and the opportunity to perform on stage with members of the Glee cast. Fans will have access to watch the BIGGEST show via an exclusive 3-camera livestream provided by Laffster. In addition to seeing the performance, fans will have the chance to purchase memorabilia autographed by the event’s cast and a commemorative video of the event (that will include backstage footage, the performances themselves, and a VIP post-show reception).

The Box Scene Project’s mission is to harness the power of fans to help reach equal representation in the media for underrepresented groups. With the continued partnership with Young Storytellers Foundation, The Box Scene Project is proud to offer fans the opportunity to read two Glee scripts that contributed to increasing representation for members of underrepresented communities: “Never Been Kissed” and “Love, Love, Love.”

Also from January 20 through February 8, fans can donate $25 for a PDF copy of “Never Been Kissed” or “Love, Love, Love.” A $40 donation allows fans PDF copies of both scripts. Fans have the opportunity to win signed copies of the scripts via an auction and a giveaway (in which fans earn one chance for every $5 donation).

Similar fundraisers in the past two years have allowed The Box Scene Project to raise over $100,000 for charity. The Box Scene Project’s successful partnerships with Young Storytellers Foundation and other organizations continue to show that the power of a fandom can be a beautiful thing.
