Every life is a piece of music.
Like music, we are finite events, unique arrangements, sometimes harmonious, sometimes dissonant. Sometimes not worth hearing again.
We all
need Hannibal to continue its Seasons like rightfully deserves, turns out we
can’t just wait to see what happens when Amazon’s license expires, by then Netflix executives might have forgot, because
they only would pick up a show to make it an
original if they see a constant and big demand, which means a big benefit for
them in subscriptions.
Netflix
employees themselves are telling us if we want this to happen, we have to make
it into a movement, until they have so many requests from different people
every week that they see many people is going to subscribe and stay
just for Hannibal, Netflix executives want proof.
They don’t pick up any show
that shows demand just one day or during a week.
We are
lucky because the show we love is in a different level of quality, and we’re many around the world for a private
channel like Netflix that makes the money from views and subscriptions. We have
already as many online interactions as many successful shows.
Turns out
from now on, Netflix is global, is everywhere, which work great for us
to make requests in their chat service all around
the world.
We can
guarantee to them millions of subscriptions around the world if they pick up
Hannibal, and that we will stay for Hannibal. If they receive a lot of requests from now
on in every country with Netflix every week, they will see there’s business for
them. They
barely have subscriptions in countries like France because their programming is
lousy, what about thousands and thousands of requests on Netflix France every
week showing that Netflix France is going to be a success only with
subscriptions for Hannibal? And so on in every country.
Bryan
Fuller said the best thing we can do for the show to continue is stay loud, making this system of chats requests into
a big coordinate movement every week this year, is the way to go to make Hannibal continue, the
audience has the last word when you can put your money to make it happen, on
NBC it was everything about “live” publicity, not much we could do there
(even so, we did everything we could, like turning the Hannibal following into the
big online movement that is today, thanks to every single one
of us).
The
reality is that Bryan and their team and the cast need us to make the renewal of Hannibal
possible, to
receive good offers from channels and make Hannibal the big boom that it
deserves to be.
We can say we will throw all
the money for Hannibal to continue, but they want to see a big movement of
interactions to see we are real about it.
To make
it very clear, it can only happen if we do this, constant interactions with the channels, Hannibal need us to make it happen.
The best part of it, is that
is not a difficult thing to do, it takes 2 minutes to make a chat request to
Netflix, is not about big individual efforts, is about quantity of people doing
it every week.
As
important as these interactions with Netflix are, we can’t put it all in a same
place, Hannibal is too important for that.
We need a consistent plan, so here’s
what we are going to do:
As you
probably know Mondays for Fannibals are Mads Monday, so one of the
times you tweet or post a picture of Mads, you make a 2 minutes chat request to Netflix, then do a
screenshot and tweet it or post it under #SaveHannibal so everybody sees what
we’re doing.
Is like
applying for a job you need once a week, but easier because you just have to
say “I have a programming request, Hannibal Season 4”; that’s literally it,
doesn’t matter what Netflix employees say back to you about licenses or that
they feel like saying they are too Fannibals that day, whatever, what matters
here is that they have to take every request. After a consistent number of
requests every week everywhere, I guarantee you, we’ll succeed, we’re 5 millions around the world at the least and
making new fans every day.
More perks:
–You don’t
need to have Netflix to do the request so if you are not subscribed, specify
them in the request, if you want, that you will subscribe exclusively for
Hannibal.
-If you are
subscribed, specify that you will stay forever if they pick up Hannibal as an
original Netflix series.
–You don’t have
to give any data, any personal information to do the request.
Tuesdays
as you might know, are Hugh Tuesday: One of the times you tweet
or post a pic of Hugh, take 2 minutes to send an email to Hulu saying “I have a
programming request, Hannibal S4”, no need to say more if you don’ t want to or
don’t have time. Take a screenshot of your email and tweet or post It under
#SaveHannibal, everybody needs to see it to create a big chain every week.
Wednesdays are now Sky Living Wednesdays:
–Send them an email every Wednesday saying you want them to renew Hannibal for S4; doesn’t matter what they say back, it can change when they receive thousands and thousands every week.
-Screenshot to tag #SaveHannibal
-Send them a tweet to to say Save Hannibal, just one once a week to.
Fridays are
for other channels that might be interested with our weekly interactions, we
can’t leave any stone unturned.
Just one Email to each once a week.
FX Networks have already Programming request option, super easy to fill in once a week:
Screenshot and tweet in #SaveHannibal
This is our weekly plan, super easy, takes 2 minutes a day, by posting the screenshot on
SaveHannibal tag, we communicate and spread the word about what we’re doing.
Again, is not about big individual efforts no stress of any kind, it matters the quantity
of people joining the movement, absolutely every request counts to make it
happen.
Like the
first time we came all together on Twitter to Save Hannibal, Bryan and the cast
need us to make the first important move to make the renewal happen, only
he can receive good offers in a good
channel, whenever it happens, with our constant demand, is the only way to make
it happen.
Everybody
that loves Hannibal and need it to continue needs to do this, let’s do it all
together. We make this into a big demand movement, they receive a million
request (2 individual minutes) every week, I bet any of these channels that
work by demand will see they’re going to have a big benefit with us for real. But
we need to do it every week, increasing the quantity of people doing it week by
week.
One of the latest proofs we have (if we needed any) of the death of conservative networks like NBC, that bases their renewals and cancellations exclusively in “live” ratings and live publicity (which is absurd when story telling shows are not being emitted live), here’s an article aboutNBC trying to find out Netflix’ system of ratings in the most pathetic way. Read it, it really say all on why this cancellation is not Hannibal’s fault and we’re going to succeed.
In anothernote, FOX has been the first network to drop live ratings for TV shows, I mean, FOX. Even they know that boat is sinking.
As a Fannibal friend pointed out, Netflix was laughed at, at first, when they came with a new whole system to support shows and grow more and more in audience. They laughed, now Netflix is the first option for TV shows, now they shitting their pants.
Hannibal is great to stream, I
have seen many people saying they can’t just watch one or two, people loves
seeing Hannibal on Netflix.
If you
don’t do it because you think it won’t make any difference, then it won’t
happen. We have realistic methods with a heartfelt goal.
It can happen if we get all on board, because we need to do this to make it happen, cynical or defeated attitude will take us nowhere.
Eat the rude. We need to stand by this philosophy more than ever to succeed.
Beautiful useful banners are the work of amazing Fannibals Meg and Claudia.
harmony vs romione vs dramione – it was getting UGLY out there (hell, it’s STILL ugly out there)
constant idealization of draco and constant demonization of ron – which led to the creation of the “draco in leather pants” and “ron the death eater” tropes. (you still see this, of course, but i think we’re getting better)
my immortal dramatic readings EVERYWHERE
my immortal still being on fanfiction.net
actual fanart of my immortal
soooo many youtube music videos for the creator’s otp
“harry potter chatroom” videos on youtube where the premise was that each character had a laptop and was in an online chatroom for some reason. usually each character got their own music that played in the background while they “typed,” and they all looked like this:
i wish i was kidding
i may have been obsessed with these when i was nine
so many fanvids of draco with “untitled” by simple plan (aka “how could this happen to meeeeeeeeeeeee i made my mistaaaaaaaakes”)
fanfics where voldemort had a daughter (and it was ALWAYS a daughter. pre-cursed child, mind you.)
people actually liking snape
pretty blatantly ignoring the fact that electricity doesn’t work at hogwarts in fanfictions
THE RISE OF DRARRY
drapple (draco + green apples. not joking.)
that fanfic that was a lemon of the giant squid and the hogwarts castle… i can’t be the only one that read it out of sheer morbid curiosity
jily fanfics that gave lily two OC friends that would be paired off with sirius and remus
no muggleborn slytherins, ever
fanmade potter puppet pal videos – some of them were quite good, but most weren’t
bashing viktor krum, cho chang, lavender brown, fleur delacour, and the entire weasley family for no reason
fics where people “switched houses”
people actually shipping snily
you could always tell the author’s opinion of draco malfoy based on whether they called him “malfoy” or “draco” in their narration
fanvids of “you belong with me” for every ship imaginable
the trio ALWAYS being white in fanart
fics where hermione randomly got hot over the summer
sorting yourself into slytherin to be “edgy”
or because you had a crush on tom felton
or both
pairing hermione with literally every male character. ron, harry, draco, cedric, fred and george (sometimes both at once), lucius, snape, voldemort, neville, dean, seamus… if they interacted in canon (or even if they didn’t), they were shipped
“transfer student” OCs to explain why they haven’t been there for the past five years
not many same-gender pairings apart from wolfstar and drarry
harmony fanfics making ginny an “evil bitchy slut” and ron a drunken rapist so harry and hermione can find comfort in each other’s arms
people placing literal bets with actual money on who would die in the last book
which led to a bit of an issue for people who had bet on harry, as no one was sure whether or not it actually counted since he didn’t stay dead
my immortal predicting that harry would turn out to be a horcrux
people flipping the fuck out when their otps got sunk in the epilogue and swearing off the series forever
everyone having a crush on oliver wood (to be fair this one is completely understandable)
school play fanfics, usually with the purpose of getting their otp to kiss on stage (i am 1000% convinced jk rowling had “tales of beedle the bard” mention that theatrical productions are banned at hogwarts specifically to get people to knock it off)
“american exchange student” OCs
a girl ends up in harry’s (or draco’s) dorm for some reason – either bc she’s pulling a mulan or because of a mistake no one bothered to fix
lots of fanfics of the otp banging bc “i don’t want to die a virgin”
“101 ways to annoy lord voldemort” lists
calling voldemort “moldyshorts”
fanfics of the characters somehow reading the harry potter books and reacting to them (these were all taken down bc of copyright)
leaving peter out of marauders fanart and fanfic (i understand the urge but come on he was a marauder it’s what made his betrayal so tragic)
fred/george fanfic (my eyes, they bleed)
fred and george (but mostly fred) being the school heartthrobs
think of any two characters. any two. there is a fanfiction somewhere that ships them. (this is still true, of course – in a fandom this massive, it’s inevitable)
if you spoiled THAT DEATH from the sixth book, and someone murdered you for it, it was your fault
same with THAT DEATH from the fifth book. and a certain few THOSE DEATHS from the seventh.
cedric dying was old news within like a month though.
the divide between people who had gotten into the series late (or, sometimes, because of the movies) and people who had been there since (almost) the beginning
people refusing to go online until they’d finished reading the seventh book for fear of spoilers (i am SO glad i didn’t have tumblr back then)
people actually saying they wanted to join the death eaters
every character was either good or evil. no in between as far as the fandom was concerned.
everyone’s icon looking like this for some reason
dramione fanfics where he calls her mudblood AFTER THEY START DATING??? AND SHE PUTS UP WITH IT????
dramione fics where hermione heals him with her love
making ginny out to be the school bicycle and basically burning her at the stake for going on dates
fics where the head boy and girl get their own separate room??? for some reason???
VAMPIRE AUS (usually harry and/or draco)
dumbledore either being 100% heroic or satan
hermione’s parents always being named “dan and emma”
fics where hermione turns out to be adopted and a pureblood all along!
harry switching to the dark side for some reason??
basically
the harry potter fandom has ALWAYS been wild
it’s the same shit as always, the details are just different
