A big thanks goes to <a href=\"http:\/\/sherryndaniel.wordpress.com\" title=\"Sherryn's Blog\" target=\"_blank\">Sherryn<\/a>, too. Your help is greatly appreciated.<\/p>\n<p>Not only was our contest a big success, but our <a href=\"2014\/07\/giveaway-win-a-signed-15th-anniversary-flyer\/\">\u201cRoswell\u201d 15th Anniversary flyer<\/a> article received more than 1,530 clicks, during the contest\u2019s duration, and fans from around the world left profoundly thoughtful comments so that they could possibly win the following prizes: <\/p>\n<p>Anniversary flyers signed by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Nick_Wechsler\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Wechsler<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ShiriAppleby\" target=\"_blank\">Shiri Appleby<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/unrealfehr\" target=\"_blank\">Brendan Fehr<\/a>, a glow in the dark handprint T-Shirt and some other small surprises.<\/p>\n<p>Because this contest was open to fans world- wide, it was wonderful to hear how Roswellians from countries like Belgium, Peru, Lithuania, Poland, France, Australia, Germany, the United States, United Kingdom, (and several more nations) are still deeply passionate about this show.<\/p>\n<p>In short, all of you left fervent and enthusiastic comments about why \u201cRoswell\u201d is so special: even after a decade and a half. Again, thank you for sharing your stories and memories with us. We were honored. <\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s interesting to note about this contest was that some of us received goosebumps after reading some of your comments. Instead of just publishing these wonderful comments, your powerful words actually inspired us to continue with celebrating the show\u2019s 15th year anniversary. Stay tuned to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crashdown.com\">Crashdown.com<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n<p>Based on several entries left on our contest page, we noticed different routes fans took into finding the show. For starters, several of you started watching \u201cRoswell\u201d in 1999, when it first premiered on the WB (now The CW). Years later, newer fans discovered the show through VOD services such as Netflix or Hulu. More fans later discovered the show after getting addicted to the cast and crew\u2019s newer projects, as well.<\/p>\n<p>Even though awesome shows like ABC\u2019s \u201cRevenge\u201d and NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Night Shift\u201d are on Summer hiatus, we\u2019re sure many of you are reliving Jack Porter\u2019s (\u2018Revenge,\u2019 Nick Wechsler) earlier adventures as Kyle Valenti and are reliving Dr. Drew Alister\u2019s (\u2018The Night Shift\u2019, Brendan Fehr) earlier adventures as extraterrestrial Michael Guerin on Hulu, Netflix, or by rewatching old VHS tapes from when the show first came out. <\/p>\n<p><strong>To many, \u201cRoswell\u201d was much more than just a show; it becomes part of the family.<\/strong> <\/p>\n<p>For instance, Roswell fan Gina\u2019s children, Maxwell and Izzy, are named after the character\u2019s from the show and now they are old enough to watch the show. Also, thanks to comments from the contest page, we learned that most of you are re-watching the show at least once a year \u2013  but we\u2019re sure watching the show twice or thrice over can be just as invigorating.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRoswell\u201d may have ended more than a decade ago but the show is so profound that fans are still spreading the word by introducing it to friends, family members, neighbors, co-workers and beyond. In many ways the show is still alive and kicking, albeit it having a short run on TV. <\/p>\n<p>Likewise, we\u2019ll also treasure the cutest love stories many of you shared with us because of the show. It\u2019s magical to think how one show can spark real-life romance across the world. Lastly, we\u2019ll also treasure some of your lovely and festive Roswell-related family stories as well as some truly heart-wrenching ones. Each comment posted left a lasting impression with us and we sorely wish we could make everyone a winner. <\/p>\n<p>As we previously stated, we couldn\u2019t make everyone a winner but look on the bright side, we are looking into more fun contest opportunities. Maybe next time you will be first place and snag a great prize. <\/p>\n<p>We also previously announced on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crashdown.com\">Crashdown.com<\/a> that <strong>EJ<\/strong> has won first prize: the \u201cRoswell\u201d 15th Anniversary flyer with all three signatures from former Roswell cast members. Three other winners will receive our other main prizes in the mail. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\n<p>Thank you for an amazing prize, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/crashdowncom\">@crashdowncom<\/a>!!!
