Recently I became a fan of Hannibal, a TV show written by Bryan Fuller. Yeah, I know -
Hannibal. Because of the title it took me 8 months to convince myself to watch it (I'm not a big fan of the Thomas Harris franchise), but my friend forced me to do it (and I love her for it). One of the best TV scripts, amazing actors, stunning cinematography - plus the people involved in creating the shows are super friendly and respectful of their fans.
However, the grisly subject matter causes the show to struggle with ratings - and because of that, it is at risk of being dropped by NBC. It was the enthusiastic involvement of the show's fans (AKA fannibals
) that convinced NBC to fund season 2, and now they are fighting for season 3.
...And because of that, I have a favor to ask.
Could anybody who has Twitter, and perhaps watched Hannibal, or just wants to help a good show gain some recognition, please vote for nbchannibal.tumblr.com here:

(Also, I can sincerely recommend Hannibal to those who haven't watched it yet... as long as you don't mind having your heart broken into pieces.
Also, blood.
