1. Fannibal Appreciation Day - RECAP OF AMAZING LOVE AND COMMUNITY <3
Fannibal love is ALWAYS a miracle of epic proportions!!! With a lot happening in current events and in the news, I wanted to start by reminding each and every one of you about how much you are loved!!!!!
As with every year, Fannibal Appreciation Day consisted of just a MASSIVE outpouring of warmth, flails, feels and virtual hugs!!!!! The love was unbeatable and came out from all directions. It's a great reminder that not a single one of us is alone, and that though it may be dark around us, we're together in that darkness, and that makes ALL the difference!!!!!
Relive all the magical moments on the #FannibalAppreciationDay tag on twitter and tumblr!!!!
And for emergencies, break out this FAD TWEET FROM BRYAN (his second year participating in a row) and remember, WE ARE BELOVED!!!!
2. Recent Bryan Teases, Hannibal Hints, and PLAIN OLD FONDNESS FOR FANNIBALS!
In some Fannibal circles, speculation that the return of Season 4 could bring us back into a brighter timeline abound!!!!
Helping us stay loud and get one step closer to this dream is Bryan's constant stream of love, excitement, and clear hope for more!
In the last couple of months he:

Halloween is a holiday to spend with those that you care about most in the world, with those who understand that watching the love story of two cannibals is the most touching way to spend an evening, and that there is no better offering to the Halloween gods than a nice soundtrack of clank, clank, clonk!!!!

THE FANNIBAL MUSICAL UPDATES
A bulk of the filming has ended and more is on the horizon!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR MORE FROM THIS FABULOUS PROJECT SOON!
Reel-Hannibal Fest!
We had our very first Reel Fest this summer and now we can enjoy the feast!!!
"A Reel Fest is a challenge for creators, just like a Big Bang or prompt calendar. However, instead of focusing on word counts or specific daily prompts, a Reel Fest focuses on other mediums of media, usually movies. So creators generally take fandom characters and cast them in a movie, resulting in an AU fic or fan art."
A fascinating premise which surely yielded some amazing pieces!!! The masterlist of all our fest posts can be found here! PAIR WITH MOVIE OF CHOICE!
Hue-manity: A 2019 Hannibal Fan Calendar!!!! SUBMISSIONS NOW OPEN!
TELLING TIME IS NOT OUR PROBLEM, BUT IT'S ABOUT TO GET A WHOLE LOT MORE FUN WITH HUE-MANITY, A 2019 FANNIBAL CALENDAR!!!!!
The cannibal calendar project is back with ROUND 2, and it wants to fill our lives with COLOR!!!!!! Each month will be represented by a different, fabulous shade of the rainbow, and, in the spirit of calendar's the theme, 20% of our proceeds will be donated to a LGBTQIA+ charity! A CAUSE HANNIBAL IS READY TO SUPPORT!!!!!!
Applications for art have no closed, and we can't wait to hear about the next steps! For more information, check out this info post and the artist info page! For updates on the calendar, make sure to follow the main project blog, here!!!!
CAN'T WAIT FOR FANNIBALS TO PAINT THE TOWN...RAINBOW!!!!!
Hannibal's Sketchbook Project!

Pride Anatomical Heart Enamel Pins!
Beautiful anatomical heart pins are back, this time all dressed up in Pride!!! Whatever your colors, let them shine, Fannibal style, and pre-order now!!!
Mind Palace Comic, a Hannibal/Fuller-Verse Webcomic!!!!
WHAT'S THAT WE SEE IN THE DISTANCE? IS IT, COULD IT BE - YES, A HANNIBAL/FULLER-VERSE WEBCOMIC HAS OFFICIALLY KICKED OFF!!!!
Mind Palace Comic is a labor of love between Dave Dwonch and Santiago Guillen, who have both worked in the comics industry for quite some time!!! It will feature our favs from Hannibal alongside appearances from many of the Fuller-verse family, from Dead Like Me to Pushing Daisies! It is now posting weekly!!!!
Dave is also spotlighting Fannibal Artists on his site! Check out how you can take part!
15. Academic Fanbook! Plus HORROR STUDIES ACADEMIC CONFERENCE!
Will's clock says IT'S ACA-TIME!!!!
There could be another fanbook on the way, but this time with an academic twist!!!! If this is a dish you'd like to see served, make sure to make your feelings known on this post!!!!
There's also a HORROR STUDIES ACADEMIC CONFERENCE lurking in the shadows!!!! The perfect place for ACA-Fannibals, I'd say!
As always, don't forget to follow up on all fan-studies opportunities, HERE!
16. Hannibal Extended Universe and Fic Prompts!!!!
The Hannibal Fandom has an INCREDIBLE phenomenon of rare pair ships that involve Hugh and Mads character, stemming from their early movie together, King Arthur!!!! Unfortunately, some of our favorite platforms don't quite know how to deal with this development!!!! To make it easier, we created the "Hannibal Extended Universe" tag on AO3!!!!
This tag can be used to include ships and stories that are not OVERTLY to do with Hannibal into our orbit, BECAUSE WE KNOW THEY ARE TO DO WITH HANNIBAL AND FANNIBALS!!!!! More information can be found on the Hannibal-Extended-Universe Tumblr!!!
For even more HEU excitement, head to this tumblr for HEU, rare pair, and other prompts!!
TL;DR - WE'RE SO INSANELY AWESOME, ONE TAG IS NOT ENOUGH!!!!!
17. #FannibalWelcome Twitter and Tumblr Project!!!! (Bonus Challenge: Defeat the "Hannibal Fandom is Dead" Trope)
With so many new people watching Hannibal EVERY DAY, the most important thing we can do is get them to JOIN THE FANNIBAL FAMILY AND HELP US BE LOUD FOR OUR SHOW!!!! The more buzz the better!!!!!
We all see different posts though, and have different networks and connections, so to make sure we're greeting and flailing with new people, we're rebooting the #FannibalWelcome tag!!!!! This tag works in two ways!!!
ONE - WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE POSTING ABOUT HAVING JUST STARTED HANNIBAL, OR FINISHED, OR FALLEN FRESHLY INTO FANDOM, MAKE SURE TO GREET THEM AND USE THIS TAG!!!
TWO - CHECK THIS TAG ON TWITTER AND MAKE SURE YOU ARE SAYING HELLO TO PEOPLE YOU HAVEN'T RUN INTO YET!!!! <3
On tumblr, reblogged posts don't show up in search, so make sure to let me know if you plan to use this tag there, and I will create a list!!!
Bonus: IF YOU EVER SEE THE WORDS, DEAD AND HANNIBAL NEXT TO EACH OTHER, MAKE SOME NOISE AND WE WILL SHOW JUST HOW ALIVE WE ARE!!!!! #RUDE <3
18. Fannibal Support Chart!!!! Find YOUR local Fannibals!
Check out our Fannibal Support chart, an excellent resource for connecting fannibals and getting the right news to the right people!!!!
There are almost 500 Fannibals listed on the chart, but it's not complete without YOU!!!!! Please add yourselves to the sheet!!!! It's editable, so just be careful not to write over anyone else, and then take a look at all the Fabulous Fannibals that are on there, at our amazing global community. These are all friends, so reach out to someone new, follow a few people you haven't met yet, find out someone is just next door and watch Hannibal for hours!!! Pay close attention to the columns discussing shyness and current emotional state!!! Reach out to someone who may have a hard time reaching out to you!!! It's all about connections, if mushrooms can do it, so can we!!!!
You can also take a look at our two Fannibal Maps and make a place for yourself in our world!!!
Of course, no need to limit yourself to those who are near you!!!! WILL AND HANNIBAL MEET IN THEIR MEMORY PALACE EVEN WHEN THEY'RE APART AND SO CAN WE!!!!

Right now our week looks like this:
#NetflixMonday
#HuluTuesday
#AppleWednesday
#StarzThursday
#AmazonFriday
FOLLOW @FANNIBALMOVEMNT FOR DAILY REMINDERS!
22. Hannibal Rewatches are GOING STRONG!!!! US, Europe, and Northern UK!!!!!
Right now there are TWO FABULOUS REWATCHES YOU CAN JOIN IN ON!!!!!!
First, the FOURTH ROUND of the North American Fannibal Rewatch has kicked off!!!! Join in with other fannibals and RELIVE ALL THE EXCITEMENT!!!! REMEMBER, EVERY TIME YOU WATCH HANNIBAL, IT ONLY GETS BETTER!!!
This rewatch takes place Thursdays at 10pm!!!! Follow @CarbonOrchestra, @Ms_Cannibal and @ElissaKnight for the weekly tags!
Secondly, EUROPEAN REWATCHES ARE BACK IN ACTION!!! Follow @FannibalMovment for weekly reminders, and join in to watch at BST 7pm!
Finally, the Northern UK rewatch is also unfurling! Check in with @221braggadocio for exact times and dates!
23. Hannibal S3 UP ON NETFLIX UK! Add your regional info to our 'Where in the World is Hannibal Lecter' Chart!!!
IT'S OFFICIAL, HANNIBAL S3 IS UP ON NETFLIX UK, WHICH MEANS A FLOOD OF EXCITEMENT AND A TON OF NEW FANS!!!! Make sure to check the #Hannibal tags to welcome new viewers with our #FannibalWelcome, and shout-out to Netflix letting them know how excited you are!
If Hannibal is available in your region, help us keep track of where! Add in or find out where Hannibal is streaming your country with this editable spreadsheet!!!! THEN WATCH IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
Please feel free to update and add to the chart!!! The more information in it the more useful it is!!!
24. FLOOD OPEN SOCIAL AVENUES WITH HANNIBAL NOISE!!!!! IF YOU SPY ONE, TAG WITH #CallingAllFannibals!!!!
While you're telling Netflix how murderously happy you are to see Hannibal Season 3, LET'S MAKE NOISE FOR HANNIBAL AND THE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT IT WHEREVER POSSIBLE!!! Generating this noise is what keeps us alive, and luckily, on the internet, opportunities for this kind of buzz generation are almost infinite, so if you come across any posts on social media that provide the opportunity to say a loud "HANNIBAL" in response to them, be sure to capitalize on the chance! This includes bringing a lot of responsiveness to media tweets that mention or support Hannibal!!! (e.g. posts by critics, posts by publications, posts by awards interfaces!!!!) This will not only generate love for Hannibal, but will make the platform more likely to write about it AGAIN, perpetuating an excellent feedback loop!!!!!!!
To make this simpler, I've begun to tag opportunities such as this with the tag #CallingAllFannibals!!! Just scroll this tag and add your voice to each post!!!! Feel free to use the tag to add any you come across as well!!!!
25. NETFLIX RESPONDED TO A SEASON 4 TWEET!!!! MAKE SURE TO TELL THEM YOU ARE STILL HUNGRY!!! While you're at it, share this tweet! (Stephen King did!)
AND JUST TO CONFIRM AGAIN, IT'S WORKING, OUR EFFORTS TO STAY LOUD ARE BEING NOTICED!!! WHEN WE GENERATE A LOT OF NOISE, SUPPORT BIG NAMES WHO SUPPORT HANNIBAL, AND GENERALLY MAKE HANNIBAL UNIGNORABLE, WE GET THE ATTENTION WE'RE LOOKING FOR!
Here's an awesome example that ended with Netflix responding to a Fannibal! A well known editor tweeted about Hannibal, Fannibals came out in droves to support, they used this opportunity to tweet netflix, and NETFLIX NOTICED!!! EVEN STEPHEN KING NOTICED!!!!
If we can do this over and over again, eventually platforms will have NO CHOICE BUT TO SAVE HANNIBAL!!!!!!!!!
TAKE HOME: FANNIBALS ARE AWESOME, WE'RE LOUD, AND WE GET RESULTS!!!!!!!
FANNIBAL FRIENDS PLUS BONUS FUN POSTS!!!!
Find people to follow on Twitter and Tumblr by:
a) Making posts on the #hannibal tag letting people know you want to follow Fannibals. Even if you've already got a community, you can always do with a few more fannibals in your life. Follow back!
