This just sounds like Ugly Betty fantastic :D! I think this is a great idea that the fans have more of a say on the show and be allowed to air their comments and ideas, especially with the direction this show ought to be heading. It also has that certain 'vox pop' flavour to it. A vox pop for those of you unfamiliar with the concept, is a short abbreviation of the latin term 'Vox Populi', which is Latin for 'Voice of the People'. It is predominantely used in broadcasting and journalism, as it involves interviewing members of the public- or be it in this case, the fans.
Also a You Tube channel dedicated to us fans, is terrific as well- one major stumbling block though is whether this channel will be accessible to those living outside the U.S.- although given as the fourth season will be shown in the U.S. and not in many parts of the world, I very much doubt us non-Americans would be allowed to view and subscribe to this channel. I'll find out and let you know afterwards.
And the dressing like your favourite ugly betty characters? It sounds like those Sci-Fi, Manga conventions in Japan, where fans turn up on the day, all dressed up in (funny) costumes. I am dying to see the Bettys, Marcs and Amandas parading this world- or be it, the Ugly Betty World. That is going to be a riot!
It sounds like there is going to be a lot of heavy promotion for this fourth season- last season there was some promotion involved but it wasn't much, as it didn't involve the whole cast. But this year, it should all be fun and amazing- I'd love to see this.
This is just so awesome :D!
