Now what?
This is a question I've seen on countless tweets, Discord channels, forums, etc. We won! Now what?
Now you have fun.
Here's what I mean. Up until the 28th, we more or less felt an obligation. We had to do things. We had to retweet 15 times a day. We had to use exactly one phrase and two hashtags a day. We had to rewatch our favorite show well past the point that it was truly enjoyable. Had is such a terrible word.
Now that we've won, now that Simon has confirmed that Warrior Nun will be back, we can all stop doing what we felt was required, and do only the things you love to do.
If you enjoy tweeting daily? Do it!
If you enjoy writing fan fic? Do it!
If you enjoy drawing? Do it!
If you enjoy composing music? Do it!
If you enjoy making video edits? Do it!
If you want to participate in other fandoms? Do it!
Do the things that make you happy. Do what gives you genuine joy - and if that means keep doing what you've been doing for the last 6 1/2 months, please feel free to continue doing that. But if it means taking a break, changing things up? You've earned it. You did the hard work, and you've more than earned the right to get back to what you enjoy the most.
Some folks have said they don't know what they'll do now that they're not fighting every day. Other folks have said they worry about losing the friends they've made along the way, drifting apart. That's totally understandable - and preventable.
If you truly, legitimately love the fight, there are many, many more fandoms that could use some more help. Consider joining the Fandoms United/Save Our Shows Discord server if you absolutely adore the fight itself, the process of fighting against soulless corporate entities who treat our mythology and culture with the same care as a box of lugnuts. Bust out your Rachel Platten singles and your Docs and in the words of Mother Superion, give them hell.
If you just want to make sure you stay in touch? There are still plenty of fandom activities happening, from Iron Nun Run to parties to donation drives and mural meetups. And there are Discord servers you can join if you're not part of those communities already.
Whatever makes you happy or gives you a sense of purpose, now is the time to pick that back up.

A reminder: One of the major aims of the campaign was to get more mainstream media coverage. Mainstream media publishers don’t care about retweets - they make their money on page views and even compensate writers based on how many people read their articles. The more we help them, the more they help cover us.
