That's a lot of money

I had no idea there were so many Clana fans. Article form Kryptonsite:


Fans Of "Clana" Raise Money For Charity & Spread Awareness

They've been watching the show from the beginning. They had their good times ("Calling," the first half of "Reckoning") and they've had their bad ("Reckoning" and the resultant break-ups in the episodes that followed.

Now, fans of the Clark & Lana "ship" (relationship) are raising money to donate to various charities as coming from the fans of the couple. They're hoping that these charitable gifts will convince the right people (including The CW) that there is still a very viable fan base for the coupling.

So far, the Save Clana group has raised over $5,300. Yes, you read that correctly. $5,300.

The charities Save Clana are promoting include the charities picked by Kristin that were supported by the Kristin Kreuk Birthday Project; the campaign also is supporting the Christopher Reeve Paralysis Foundation and their "Go Forward" tag campaign.

That's nice and all that they decided to raise money for charity, really, it is. But as far as "Clana", do they honestly think they can buy the show's directions? Are they even aware that Kristin herself wants nothing more to do with it? Clark and Lana may very well end up friends again and that's just fine, but the "romance" is done.

It's a nice gesture, clearly, but extremely desperate.

That's really awesome. Kudos to the Clanas.

Shipping is silly and superficially fun and if you're going to spend all your time doing it it's cool that you are helping real people who need it also.

Summer, I couldn't agree with you more (as well as Luke). While it's nice and generous of them to raise money for KK's b-day project, but using their shipper name to associate it with the charities they raised money for to get something in return from TPTB of SV to save their doomed ship that aren't meant to be in the Supes mythos surely is extremely desperate. They should just had it under KK fans not her fictional character (and their favorite ship relating to her character) 'cause no amount of raised money (even for charities) can changed the fact that the Clana ship aren't getting back together (nor they are meant to be as a romantic couple) and that their ship has already sunk last season. Bringing their ship back would just regress every single character in SV. To think Clark has finally started to accept his destiny this season and the storylines are getting closer to where his journey should be. Why on earth would the writers and tptb go backwards? They can never saved that ship, it was never meant to be in the first place. They had 5 seasons to do that, but the writers has already damaged their relationship...so there's no hope for that ship... it's done, over, kaput. Lana has already moved on and is living with Lex...not too mention, she's pregnant with his baby. I think the Clana shippers needs closure and should moved on. Why maintain shipping a couple that everyone knows aren't destine to last or be together? I'm guessing they are mostly fans of KK who just want their favorite to be with Clark just like AM/Chloe fans who wants Clark to be with Chloe. Poor Tom Welling...every shipper fans fight over with his character to be with their favorite female character, making him look like a cassanova, but only in the Smallville universe, lol. At least us Clois fans, we know our favorite couple, Lois & Clark are destined to be the ship that will be the one that will be end up together and will be smooth sailing when this series ends very soon.

I think it's a crime to make people think that even 5000 could change anything.
it's unfair to those people(even if it's clana fans) and whoever had that idea , i bet is keeping the money for himself.
do you know how much only one actress gets on this show?... 5000 are peanuts.. peanuts

I think it's great that they're doing it for charity. On K-Site it said that both the KK birthday project and the Save Clana fund raise around $7000. Which is great for charity but I don't think that this act, no matter how charitable, is going to resurrect their ship.

being the typical guy, I'm sure Tom does not mind being fought over by three lovely ladies, yes admit Clark is a pimp. You know I have a New Year's resolution, I won't let nothing get me down, and it would be a boring world, if we all liked the same things,
