Given Tumblr is being finicky with links, we’re putting all non-Tumblr working links to the campaign in the comments. Check them out; @savedaredevil​ is preparing something BIG!

What’s your fannish ID?
We are @savedaredevil​ everywhere except Twitter, where we’re @RenewDaredevil.
For anyone new to us, we’re a Save Our Show campaign started in 2018 after the cancellation of Marvel’s Daredevil, and we’re here to support the cast, crew, and fandom of Marvel’s Daredevil while working to have Disney revive the series with the same cast and crew (and keep the mature tone of the series). 

-

What types of fanworks do you create? 
We create media regularly for our campaign, whether that’s for our site or social media platforms. This includes everything from graphics and vids, to original 3d printables which we’ve gifted to the Daredevil cast and crew, and we’ve currently branched out into podcasting, so that’s another new skill we’re learning as a team.
Please subscribe to our YouTube (DDE: see the comments for links!) to listen to us answer fan questions about the show, rumours, share love for the fandom, and discuss the future of Daredevil. 

-

What are your favourite types of fanworks, when you’re not creating? 
We love everything! We consistently use our social media to share Daredevil fanart, gifs, cosplay, and vids, and we’ve sponsored a few events to engage fandom creators and writers to share a little of everything from fic (on AO3 and Tumblr) to textile arts and multimedia works. Please tag us with your creations! We love seeing them and we try to share a couple every day. 

-

What do you like in particular about this fandom? 
As a campaign, we embrace all ships and creators because we’re flying under one flag, and we particularly love the positive, hopeful tone of our series canon and how it’s reflected by the fandom in their creations. Fandom is passionate and loves Daredevil fiercely, which continues to inspire us to fight for what we love. 

-

Do you like participating in fan events?
The Save Daredevil team has attended several cons together, SDCC and NYCC and more, and we’ve supported Daredevil fan meetups around the world!
Although we don’t engage in fandom exchanges as Save Daredevil, we do have several members of the team who come from fandom, who regularly take part in fannish events and cons, often to meet the actors we love or to support their current endeavours.
(We often wore our signature red Save Daredevil shirts for Charlie Cox while attending his year on ‘Betrayal’ in both London and on Broadway). 

-

What about your creating process?
Deadlines and pressure lol. That’s how we get things done. Since we’re a team from a handful of countries and time zones, and we all have families and juggle busy personal lives, it can be rough to schedule meetings where we’re all available, but Discord, Zoom, and Google Docs has helped keep us together, help us chat when we have time, and helped to make plans and keep our goals manageable.
Covid has certainly put a pin in our irl meets just as it has slowed film and tv production everywhere, but, like most everyone, we’re finding ways to work around that.

-

Do you interact a lot with other fans? 
Thankfully, we interact with Daredevil fans every day, individually and as the campaign.
Our team is split across all social media platforms so we’re regularly fielding comments and questions on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, our public Discord, and, now, YouTube. The team is multicultural and multi-ethnic, so it’s nice when we can connect with other Daredevil fans who don’t speak English. Unsurprisingly, Daredevil has a global fanbase.
Whatever happens with the outcome of Disney, Marvel Studios, and Daredevil, being able to meet so many other Daredevil fans from around the world will always be an amazing benefit of this campaign. 

-

Is there any particular piece you’d like to showcase for this post?
When Covid killed our plans to attend SDCC together, we created our own free virtual con for the Daredevil fans: #SaveDaredevilCon! Some of the cast and crew, including the showrunners of Daredevil s1 and s3, generously donated some of their time for interviews, we did an artist alley, cosplay, held rewatches on our Discord with a concept artist who worked on the show, and we even offered limited swag. The con is still online for anyone who missed it! (DDE: see comments for links!)

-

Do you have other fandoms you’d like to talk about?
We know that most of the fans who love Daredevil also really love Punisher, so please be aware there is a separate #SavePunisher campaign at SavePunisher.com! Please visit @savepunisher​’s site and sign their petition, they’re lovely people! (DDE: see links in comments!)

Is there anything else you want to tell us about yourself?
The moratorium for Daredevil (where he cannot be used outside of Netflix for 2 yrs after cancellation announcement) will end on November 29, 2020, NEXT WEEK, meaning our favourite Devil can once again be used by Disney/Marvel. 

Please help us make some noise on your personal accounts anywhere and everywhere on the 29th! Use the hashtag #SaveDaredevil and @Disney and @MarvelStudios and even Kevin Feige, and let them know you love the show! 

Let them know we don’t want a reboot, we want a revival with the same mature tone, and the same cast and crew! Please schedule a post or tweet if you won’t be available on that Sunday. Every voice counts! If you miss the 29th and still care to speak up, every day after is a good day to share some love for Daredevil! 

Where can your fanworks be found? 
We use #SaveDaredevil everywhere! ♥
