Omg This Scene! 😪

Ugh, is Season 2 ready yet. Need me some tasty Geralt in my life 🤤

Geralt

The Witcher

I’m really not okay right now. I know I shouldn’t be so upset about a show, but it’s been my escape since I found it and I adore these characters so damn much. Please let another network pick up the show and run with it and let these amazing actors tell the rest of these awesome story.

And you shouldn’t be fine. This is insane.

i have maybe the worst type of cuteness aggression about fiction characters that im attracted to

So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…

You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.

It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?

I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.

((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

In 2007, when CBS canceled the show Jericho, the fans sent in over 20 entire TONS of peanuts (based on the final line of the main character) to the network, and the show was brought back for another season. In 1999, fans of Roswell sent in over 3,000 bottles of hot sauce (which was a character's favorite) and the network specifically said that it contributed to the show going on as long as it did. The show was never actually cancelled, fans did this before that news could be announced to make sure it never was. A VERY SMALL amount of fans kept Friday Night Lights on the air after it was cancelled by sending in lightbulbs and eye-drops (more references to the show) and DESPITE THE LOW RATINGS, these efforts kept NBC from cancelling it for FIVE SEASONS. SOURCE FOR ALL OF ABOVE HERE, PLUS EXAMPLES OF OTHERS. TV tropes also has more examples of successes for other television shows, animes, and video games HERE. Even more examples of successes HERE.

DO NOT STOP sending feedback to FOX. And START sending actual, physical, stamped letters to the studios, which are going to, in the end, be far more paid attention to (according to all past examples).

And because of the success before, with fans sending in items that represent something relating to the show we love, I've been thinking, maybe,

Send in Bird Seed.

For Sunshine! For Malcolm's (and our) beloved bird! Just fill a little clear plastic baggie with bird seed and put it in an envelope either alone or with a letter (please don't send it in loose as it can and has sometimes caused allergic reactions depending on what kind, so make sure no one will have to touch it when they open it + that it won't fall through the envelope in the mail) and send it off to FOX and Warner Bros with #SAVESUNSHINE and #RENEWPRODIGALSON written on it. Buy a little pack online and put the address for delivery as FOX or WB.

FOX'S ADDRESS:

(uh, they have 3? I don't know which of the three would be "more right" or if all of them are, so do with this info what you will) 10201 West Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA 90064 United States Fox Broadcasting Co., P.O. Box 900, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90212 1999 South Bundy Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90025-5235 USA

WARNER BROS ADDRESS:

4000 Warner Boulevard, Burbank, CA 91522 USA

BIRD SEED COSTS LIKE 3 BUCKS AT WALMART. You can probably get several envelopes worth of one bag!

Keep tweeting/emailing FOX and WBTV. Keep sending feedback on the website HERE. Sign the RenewProdigalSon official petition HERE. Keep tweeting with the hashtag #RenewProdigalSon and pair it with #SAVESUNSHINE to spread the word. Once again send in PHYSICAL LETTERS, things that have to be sorted through not just clicked away online. Add the birdseed baggie WITH your letter. Write the hashtags on the envelope! This has worked before. Fans can save shows, even if there's only a small but dedicated amount. Even with Firefly, where FOX didn't actually reverse cancellation, all the DVD sales of the series (which was a campaign by fans, go buy as many as you could) caused it to be picked up by Universal Studios for a finale in the form of a movie. Buy the show on Amazon, on HBO Max, SHOW THEM WE LOVE IT AND WANT A SEASON 3 (and beyond!).

And yes, there is a chance of renewal on its own if we do nothing. Barely. It would take a miracle, but it could happen. Maybe they're already planning on renewing it. MAYBE. Or maybe not. Probably not. They have already ordered 6 new dramas, and "The Resident" has over 1.5 million more viewers than Prodigal Son with any given episode this season, plus a better 18-49 demographic which is really important in renewals. Every single website that calculates chances at renew or cancel has it as "sure to be cancelled" and "long shot at renewal". It looks bad, no matter how you spin it. This is something we can do to try, and before any official announcement is made.

And the thing is, even if they ARE considering renewal, this can't go wrong! Fans showing such dedication and love as to do their best to ensure renewal isn't going to make them think "Actually, we should reconsider, this is bad for business." This can only make them more confident in their renewal decision! And maybe make us feel a little like we had an effect on it. Or, make them less confident with their cancellation decision, and make us know that we saved our favorite show. It's our choice! Let it be to

canon: they died

fanfic: fUCK YOU

Blog Introduction

Hello! Welcome to the No More Zero Comments Project! This is a blog dedicated to reducing the amount of fics on ao3 that have no comments at all.

The goal is simple: find fics with no comments, read them, and leave a comment for the author. However, I (this blogs creator) am not in every fandom to ever exist on ao3 so this is not a task I can do alone. That's where you come in!

There are two ways you can do this. One is to go out and find fics with zero comments in your fandoms, and leave a comment. The other is to take a look at the spreadsheet i made with a list of fics i found with no comments and see if there's any fandoms you know. If I did my job right, you should be able to filter it? Who knows, I suck at technology. This spreadsheet will be updated regularly by adding new fics (and removing ones that have now received comments) so there will always be new stuff to see!

So far, the spreadsheet contains mostly fics from @febuwhump collections, as their commentfest is where i got this idea. If you want to submit one of your own zero comment fics for the spreadsheet, you can do so here.

If you read a fic from the spreadsheet and leave a comment on it (or have received a comment on your own fic that is on the spreadsheet), you can let me know here so I can remove it from the spreadsheet (you do not have to do this, I will try to check regularly to see if fics have received comments, but doing it this way will be a HUGE help to me)!

Some preemptive answers to potential FAQs under the cut!

Who runs this blog?

That'd be me, Izak, also known as @lightningzombie! Hi!

Wait, I see one of your fics on the spreadsheet!

Look. I'm not doing this for no reason. Around 14% of my own fics have no comments. In the interest of fairness, I'll only be adding one of my own fics to the spreadsheet at a time. This limit only applies to me as the owner of this blog. Everyone else can have as many as they like on there lol

Do I have to read fics from the spreadsheet?

Nope! It's just a handy tool for if you're looking for something to read, and want to help out an author in need of their first comment. You can go find zero comment fics wherever you usually get fics from

Is there some sort of prize/competition?

Nope! This is just an effort to increase fandom engagement since it fell off post-COVID. You don't have to report to me about it, you just gotta do it!

Why did you decide to do this?

Frustration with the lack of comments on my fics and the death of comment culture in general. Bewilderment when I saw a fic that had 1200 kudos and no comments. The joy that leaving 100 comments and receiving 20+ during the Febuwhump commentfest brought me. Boredom. Many reasons!

Will you do events?

Maybe! If there's enough interest we could do events similar to justleaveacommentfest.

Can I submit other peoples fics for the spreadsheet?

I mean, yeah, of course. But like, if you're going to the trouble of submitting someone else's fic, why not just leave a comment on it?

(edit: if you want to add a bunch of stuff from your fandoms that you don't have time to read/have tags you can't read then go for it!)

I don't know how to comment!

Yes, you do. "I like this" is a comment. "How dare you do that to [insert blorbo here]" is a comment. "<3" is a comment. "KAJSDAKSDHJ WHYYYYY????" is a comment. "I am rapidly approaching your location" is a comment. Just be kind!

Will you be doing this for platforms other than ao3?

For now, no. Ao3 is the platform I've used for a decade and the one I understand. However if you comment on fics that aren't on ao3, that's great! The spirit of the project is so give love to authors so do that on whatever platform you see fit

Happy commenting!

I love that hair as much as the next Jaskier fan, but let's be real. They'd still be drawing his chest hair in 2028 if they had to add it to every frame 🤷‍♀️

Excuse me

Where is his chest hair
