We talked to creators (like Felicia Day) and executives (like Evan Shapiro) to find out where shows go when their platforms get shut down or acquired.
One of many people who knows this well is writer Lon Harris, who was the showrunner on FANtasies, a collaboration between Fullscreen, New Form Digital and the fan fiction platform Wattpad. FANtasies brought to life fanfic stories written about YouTuber using the YouTubers themselves, and today only one episode remains online thanks to a “free sample” posted to the New Form Digital YouTube account featuring Helbig, Mamrie Hart and Hannah Hart. The rest are now unavailable, even to Harris himself.
