DON’T FORGET TO HAVE FUN
AND BE CHAOTIC
For 135 days, we have been fighting day and night to get our show back. And while this campaign is driven by data, and while every step of the way is carefully thought out to better leverage the fandom’s drive and determination, some things happen outside of the plan. These unexpected and organic movements are fundamental to the fight because, while their primary goal is to have fun, as a side effect, they generate numbers for the campaign. On this edition, The OCS Newsletter will analyze the effects of a few of these organic movements to the #SaveWarriorNun campaign: their numbers and their engagement
SMAU
According to Urban Dictionary, a SMAU is a “Social Media Alternate Universe”. However, according to many avid fans, SMAUs are precious continuations of a story we cannot get tired of.
The Warrior Nun fandom has its fair share of extremely talented writers, who dedicate their time and pour their hearts and soul into creating beautiful, heart-wrecking and uplifting Avatrice and Warrior Nun stories. And the OCS Newsletter had a chance to four of them:
Ferron (@starboyhoursfm)
Vero (@forVEROmore)
L (@kallme_L)
Sei (@seimahneym)
The Writers
During our interview, @asrobin37 asked the writers about their inspiration, their process prior to writing, their goals, their likes and dislikes about the process of writing and, of course, their recommendations. You can find all of their answers on warriornun.com
Sei: “Aside from them being unique, they should be flawed, but redeemable. Flaws make them humans”.
Vero: “When I started writing, I was motivated by the desire to contribute to the efforts and keeping the fandom engaged on Twitter”
Ferron: “It’s your story, so enjoy it! Even if it means 1 person reads it”
L: “The feedback is so instantaneous that it can be scary, but it’s also a lot of fun”
The Numbers
According to data collected by @cspenn (through trustinside.ai hardware and custom software) the four writers had an impact of over 103.000 interactions on the #SaveWarriorNun tag, between December 13th and April 3rd.
The authors have published a total of 10.910 chapters (aka tweets)
The audience has shared the chapters 83.741 times (retweets)
The audience has responded 8.795 times (replies).
These numbers equal to nearly 1.000 interactions a day or 0,8% of all tweets on the #. And these were created solemnly because of the SMAUs, the authors’ hard work and the fan’s passion.
The OFV
The Order of Father Vincent is a chapter within the OCS which has two jobs: Vocally support Father Vincent and persistently stan Tristán Ulloa.
The group, which traces back to season 1, has been tirelessly putting out fanart and fanfiction of Father Vincent as well as an amazing Project on behalf of Tristán.
The OFV was also a key part on the OCS Newsletter’s interview with Tristán, released on January 23rd. And to celebrate that event, the group created a hashtag that i’s being used to celebrate anything Father Vincent: #InTristánWeTrust
Until April 13th, the club’s hashtag has generated over 3.300 tweet as well as 8.100 interactions!
OCS NEWSLETTER
The Newsletter was an organic movement, created by one fan and fully embraced and improved by another, way back in December. The original intention was to keep the fandom entertained and informed in all things Warrior Nun and Save Warrior Nun.
Through time, we have evolved from only written editions to special cast and crew editions on twitter, to blog posts on warriornun.com, to YouTube exclusive content, to video interviews…
On its 32 editions, the OCS Newsletter has generated over 30.000 interactions (between Posts, RT and Replies).
Additionally, the #OCSNewsletter has generated over 11.1000 tweets and 33.300 interactions until April 28th.
DELULU
De-lu-lu has three syllables.
Today is 04/29 (4+2+9=15/5=3).
This is the 33rd edition of the OCS Newsletter.
This fandom is compiled of dedicated fans that, in their free time, like to play delusional detectives and find evidence of the renewal on everything.
The union of delulu fans overanalyzing Simon’s every tweet has evolved to a sort of unspoken competition, as to who can find the weirdest evidence, the oddest 3, the most unlikely proof of our renewal…
And yet, delulu fans using the hashtag have generated over 5.100 tweets as well as 15.200 interactions until April 13th.
Additionally, the Phrases team has put out two “on a break” quotes to celebrate the delusional part of the fandom:
On April 1st, “They Can’t Unlulu Us” had over 14.488 tweets in 24 hours, meanwhile, on April 23rd, “Simon Talks in Threes” has generated over 20.795 tweets.
A total of 35.283 tweets, which, for the delulu audience, equals to 11.761 x 3.
A sign, if a may say so myself…
THE FOOD WAR
On January 28th of 2023 at 11:35am EST a photo of an unpeeled kiwi appeared on the fandom’s timeline. Since that day the mayhem has continue to result in weird eating habits and concoctions that surely have amused (and haunted) the timeline. Kiwis, banana, pineapples, eggs, garlic, onion, jello... #TeamTraumatized, #TeamFruity and #TeamEnabler have started one of the most chaotic and yet effective organic movements on the Warrior Nun fandom: The Food War.
It’s been over three months since the first post and everything has been documented on a thread called “criminal treatment from this fandom towards food”, which on its own, until April 25th, has collected over 37.000 interactions (including RTs, Replies, Likes and Engagement). That’s an average of over 12.000 interactions per month solemnly because of... Weird food.
The numbers are limited to the thread and the original posts, but this chaotic fandom has expanded their contributions beyond that: Live spaces, on-a-break quotes, challenges and competitions... And an iconic KTY quote: SKIN OFF YOU HEATHENS!
TEAM TRAUMATIZED
#TeamTraumatized may be embodied by Pietra (@Coeurdinosaur), Maisel (@QueenTalkSwan2), Petra (@Ai_Like_Head), Atomic (@AtomicRainbowLi) and M (@Sound_ofa_heart), but it represents a vast majority of the fandom who’s terrified of what the future of the food war holds.
The team’s hashtag was created on March 9th and, according to @cspenn, up until April 28th, the tag has generated over 5.900 tweets to the campaign as well as over 8.300 engagements.
TEAM FRUITY
#TeamFruity may be embodied by Jereczko (@jereczko97), VIc (@boobaah_), Aleks (@thoushallnotpry), Fiasko (@GoulliSara), Kara (@Kara_Di) and Kaoru-Sama (@kaoruxsama) but it represents the epitome of this fandom’s chaotic, innovative and determined spirit.
The team’s hashtag was also created on March 9th and, according to @cspenn, up until April 28th, the tag has generated over 3.100 tweets to the campaign as well as over 4.000 engagements.
THE FINAL ANALYTICS
Considering the five organic movements analyzed in this edition, we reach a significant number of RT, Tweets, Likes and Engagement, as well as potential reach. But more important than the data and the numbers generated, we notice that these movements, which are not directly created to create engagement towards the #SaveWarriorNun Tag, are fundamental in furthering the campaign. They’re fun, they’re organic and they work because they leverage the most important thing in this fandom has, its people.
