By Fans, For Fans, About Fans

Welcome to LOSTblog 2.0

LOSTblog.com is moving in a new creative direction. Operating the levers and buttons behind the curtain is Jon Stueve, notoriously known as @LOST_WFTB on Twitter. Jon has had two crazy ideas since LOST wrapped up the season last year. The first was to have a Twitter based LOST re-watch party. The second was to start a crazy petition about a LOST themed Disney attraction. Welcome to his third crazy idea.

“One of the magical things that has grown out of LOST is the active and vibrant fan community.” Jon says. “This community is quivering with anticipation over the final season of LOST, and it’s my belief that these same fans are bursting with creative ideas just waiting to be released.”

It is LOSTblog.com’s prediction that fan websites, forums, podcasts, blogs, fan fiction, works of art, and videos will continue long after the show wraps production.

Jon has culled a team of content providers from his spirited Twitter following to help him chart a course through the larger fan-verse out there. “LOSTies are wonderful people. The people I’ve interacted with on Twitter are by and large quality people with caring personalities that love the show, and the relationships they’ve made through being fans of the show is a testament to the broad themes the show investigates. I wish they could all be a part of this endeavor, and through social networks I hope they are.”

The team consists of the following people and their beats:

  • Erin Willard (@Loster21): Social Media Mogul
  • Amy Monroe (@aohora): Snarky Recapper
  • Tina Simmons (@lostdogs20) & Blythe Ann Johnson (@Roobadoo87): Shipper Celebrationists
  • Scott Welch (@scott_welch): Spiritual Shaman
  • Brad Johnson (@13stages): Theoretical Philosophist
  • Catherine Ryan Howard (@cathryanhoward): Fan Features & Interviewer Extraordinaire!

The team members cover 10 timezones and live in places from Cork, Ireland to Honolulu, Hawaii. “Our goal is that the sun never sets on our domain!” Jon jokes, “If you live in Australia, Asia, Africa or Europe holla!” More seriously he continues, “I actually know and communicate with fans from over a dozen countries on Twitter.  That only speaks to how the show has crossed cultural boundries with its universal themes.”

So if you’re a LOST fan, enjoy sharing your love of the show, and want to find and connect with other LOST fans, thanks for stopping by, and we hope you’ll consider making us a regular stop on your bookmark list.
