Will I ever stop posting about Headless? About the greatest miniseries of all time? About supporting women-led projects? About independent creators? About the perfect spooky Autumn vibes? About the Emmy-worthy acting in it? About the phenomenal writing? About how EVERY. SINGLE. CHARACTER. is the best character? About one of the best original mysteries I've encountered in a long time?

So, on that note, go watch it here:

Don’t Sleep on Headless

Hey everybody. Real talk time. If you want @shipwreckedcomedy to be able to keep making stuff, if you want to support female/POC indie creators, you need to watch Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story. We NEED you to watch and share it. 

Headless is it for us. We pulled out all the stops for this. This show cost us a quarter of a mil to make (thanks to you!). The four of us at Shipwrecked paid ourselves none of that. We’ve worked on this show for three years now. This is what we gambled on.

The response to the show thus far has been so positive, and we’re so happy! But even for the small channel that we are, and even with the INCREDIBLE cast who gave their time to be a part of this project, the views we’ve been getting on this show are fewer than we hoped. 

I remember a few weeks into The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Hank Green made a vlog talking about how the show wouldn’t be sustainable if it didn’t start getting more views. And it really helped! And that’s where we’re at. We can’t keep doing this if we don’t grow. 

Don’t get me wrong, we are going to continue to put out Headless until Halloween and make it the absolute best show we can. But if we can’t grow as a company, we can’t keep making shows like this. It just isn’t sustainable for us. 

We really thought this was gonna be the one to do it. We thought this was gonna be the thing to take us from small creators with less than 50K subscribers and a handful of views to a real, bona-fide channel with reach and influence that pulls the kind of viewership on our projects to match the amount of work we put into them. And I think it can be! It looks good enough to be on any streaming network. It makes me laugh every thirty seconds. But we are a small group and we NEED word of mouth for this show to succeed.

Shipwrecked is primarily female-run, making narrative content in a space where other (more successful) creators are predominantly male. I’m sorry to harp on this, but I can’t help but feel like we have to work so much harder to get the same amount (or a fraction) of attention. 

The episodes we have yet to come in this show are so wild, so wacky, so Intense, and so heartfelt. SO many people put their hearts and souls into this show. I believe it can catch fire and become one of the most successful digital series out there. But WE NEED YOU TO WATCH IT. 

The story we have playing out over the next few weeks is Shipwrecked at its most Shipwrecked. We have some surprises and reveals up our sleeves that I think you are really going to love. More than anything, we love unfolding a big story over a period of time and bringing people along for the ride. I’m so excited for you all to see what we have in store, and I promise you are going to want to do what you can to experience it in real time.  

It’s free. It’s fun. It’s spooky. It’s funny. If you want Shipwrecked to be able to continue to make shows like this - original content, inspired by literature, with a mysterious twist and fresh humor - help us make Headless a success. We need you to take us there - we can’t do it on our own. ♥️💀🎃

vlog style LIWs are really the epitome of the whole 'trapped in the narrative' thing. those guys were just trying to make baking videos and room tours but they couldn't escape the plot. continually doomed by the narrative written for them centuries ago and its like maybe now they're telling they're own stories they can change their endings. but nope. stuff just keeps happening.

#literary inspired webseries #nmtd #will never stop thinking about how cool LIWs are as a medium

[overthemoonwithme]

I used to think that it's the most unrealistic thing that these characters don't just watch each others videos until the Plot Demands It until my friends and I stated posting vlogs of our own. Turns out no one actually watches their friends' stuff anyway. Bea didn't have to do that elaborate plot to convince Ursula and Hero to not watch thoss vlogs after all.

#Literary inspired webseries #nothing much to do #Nmtd #Also like I didn't even watch Lydia's videos the first time around so it seems natural ejogh

My favourite medium of adapting classics has sadly died down almost completely in the past few years, so whenever there's a tumblr post that is like "this is how this character would act today" I just add it to my mental adapatation of that classic in that medium

As a Shipwrecked fan who's not that into Tin Can Bros or Starkid, I'm curious about the seeming prevalence of "starcanwrecked" fans. Help me do science about it!

Please reblog for sample size!

Edit: I maxed out all the options and didn't realize in time that I didn't include an option for "Fan of all three equally." Please either choose the next closest description, or include it in the tags! Sorry 😞

Additional poll notes below the cut!

Note: This post has broken containment to the point that a few people asked "Where's the Starkid only option" or "wtf is Shipwrecked." To answer the first: the point of this poll was specifically to ask a question about Shipwrecked fans, so that excludes answers about people who haven't heard of them. If you're one of those people: Shipwrecked Comedy is a video/film production company that makes very funny, usually historical or literary content for YouTube, and they've included many Starkid folks in their sketches, short films, and webseries: Joey Richter is in almost everything they've ever done, and they've also worked with Lauren Lopez, Curt Mega, Kim Whalen, Brian Rosenthal, and probably at least one other person I've forgotten is Starkid because I'm not Starkid. I think probably their webseries "Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story" is your best intro, because it has all of the aforementioned people in it. Go check them out!
