Crashing Modes and Staying Whelmed

Recognized: Young Justice Fandom Z-16

Welcome back. We are one (1!) day away from the start of #CrashtheMode. Above, please find your calendar of events for the month of June. At the beginning of every week, your team leaders will publish a post explaining the events of the week in more detail, as well as general guidelines, instructions, etc.

Before we get into this week’s events, your team leaders wanted to remind you of three very important tasks to be completed. If you haven’t already:

1. Please send in a short video letting us know why you love Young Justice. It doesn’t have to be long, just a few seconds at most. We really need this, guys. Last time we had a campaign, the video turned out to be so meaningful and absolutely stunning. Don’t feel comfortable showing your face? Perfectly fine. Use whatever you want! Be it a Kid-Flash plush, a drawing, or just a quote. Any contribution is equally helpful. Once you have your clip, please email it to [email protected] by June 16th.

2. Follow @YJFANDOMFEST and nominate your favorite fandom members to gear up for #FandomFriday. We have some wonderful submissions, but we want more! Remember, we will be publishing these submissions every Friday in June using the tag #FandomFriday to spread awareness and thank our amazing fandom. Anyone and everyone is eligible, so go make someone’s day and nominate them for being amazing.

3. Promote, promote, promote. The only way this campaign can succeed is if everyone spreads the word and contributes. We want to show DC Universe that we love this show and will do anything to show it; that starts here. Reblog, send a video, thank a fandom member, and get ready to use hashtags and promote the campaign! We know this fandom is capable of amazing things, now it’s time to show the world.

4. Binge-watch the show and read the tie-in comics. It goes without saying, but the best way we can show DCUniverse that we want more YJ is to give them the numbers.

Hi there! You are definitely definitely not useless! I know your situation is very frustrating, and I truly sympathize. Here’s my suggestions for you and all other international fans who want to support both #crashthemode and Young Justice: 

If you have the money to spend: 

Use a VPN to access DC Universe from an American IP address and purchase a subscription to watch the show. If you have the money for a VPN service and a subscription, this is the best way to support the show. 

Purchase episodes of YJ, or entire seasons on iTunes. Yes, it’s a little pricey. But again, the best way to support the show is by buying episodes and watching them. Someone please correct me if international fans cannot purchase episodes from iTunes.

Purchase official Young Justice merchandise. Like the very cute Wally West plush found here.

Purchase the official Young Justice comics on Comixology. These are wonderful reads and are all show-canon! I will circle back to the first bullet point, because if you’re able to get a DCU subscription, these are all included in it.

If you don’t have the money to spend: 

Binge the show on any legal platform that you can. Numbers are numbers, and any impact is something. Keep the show playing in the background if you can. 

Tweet and contact DCU to ask about the service for international fans. Yes, I know it seems hopeless considering they haven’t addressed anything so far, but keep trying! One day they’re bound to answer.

Follow #CrashtheMode very closely and participate. This is going to be a really fun campaign, y’all. We’re going to have streaming parties, hashtag marathons, and even a cast/crew appreciation week. We need your support! The best way you can help is by sharing and participating. We’ll only succeed if everyone gives it their all and does their part.

I do want to take a quick second to make a point, and that is if you are an international fan, don’t lose hope. You’re not a lesser fan for downloading the show illegally or watching it by any means that you can. DCU is a niche subscription that not everyone can access, and part of it is by their own doing. Some fans can’t afford a subscription. Many fans still can’t access it due to international barriers. If you have to watch the show using illegal means, you do you. Just make up for it by sharing posts, showing your support, and doing everything in your power to get this show renewed. 

#CrashTheMode

Recognized: Young Justice Fandom Z-16

Welcome aboard everyone. Here’s your mission briefing:

With 61 days until the premiere of the second half of Young Justice: Outsiders, the fandom has gotten a little quiet. Therefore, we felt like it was time for a little mission. Unlike the team, however, this won’t be a recon: we need to make an explosion. It’s time to show the world how much we love Young Justice

Until YJ returns, your target is to follow your team leaders in promoting #CrashTheMode, a mass effort to show the world (and DC Universe) how much we care about this show and want it to be renewed for another season. Your team leaders are counting on you to give it your all in order to ensure the mission is a success.

Throughout the month of May, we have several tasks for you to complete. Here’s the breakdown:

Send in a short video letting us know why you love Young Justice. It doesn’t have to be long, just a few seconds at most. Don’t feel comfortable showing your face? Perfectly fine. Use whatever you want! Be it a Kid-Flash plush, a drawing, or just a quote. Any contribution is equally helpful.Once you have your clip, you can email [email protected] before the end of May, and then we will compile it into a collage vid.

Follow yjfandomfest to gear up for #FandomFridays. During this month, submit an ask or submission nominating someone in the fandom to be recognized for their contributions. Every Friday in June, we will post these submissions using the tag #FandomFriday to spread awareness and thank our amazing fandom.

Keep an eye out for further instruction from your team leaders. They are hard at work ensuring that June and July are filled to the brim with Twitter hashtags, viewing parties, and other fun events. A calendar will be posted at the beginning of each month with the events planned.

Promote, promote, promote. The only way this mission will succeed is if everyone spreads the word. We know this fandom is capable of amazing things, now it’s time to show the world. Share this post and get ready for a massive effort.

Binge-watch the show and read the tie-in comics. It goes without saying, but the best way we have to show DCUniverse that we want more YJ is to give them numbers.

For this mission, your team leaders are as follows: @yjfanvids, @youngjusticetvsite, @young-justice-season-three, @youngjusticeslut, @youngjustice-wiki, @perichat . Please follow them and stay tuned as they will provide further instructions over the next couple of months.

If anyone has any questions, you can always drop by my askbox.
