Following the crowd-funding boom of 2012 (see Website/{{Kickstarter}}), another form of this emerged in its wake: fans sending ''their money'' to the original creators of the series they want to save. Some spectacular successes have been achieved, as even if rights issues prevent the series proper from making a comeback, the creator can always use the money to fund a SpiritualSuccessor.

* When Creator/WarnerBros scrapped the completed live-action[=/=]animated ''Franchise/LooneyTunes'' film ''Film/CoyoteVsAcme'' in November 9, 2023 for a $30 million tax break after doing so with ''Batgirl'' and ''Scoob! Holiday Haunt'' in 2022, this proved to be the final straw for filmmakers working for the studio, several fans and other creatives in Hollywood, who have finally had enough and worked to teach the studio a lesson. Steven Ray Byrd, a background actor from the film, made [[https://www.change.org/p/release-the-completed-and-highly-anticipated-movie-coyote-vs-acme a petition]] pleading for the film to be released, while several filmmakers left angry phone calls at Warner Bros., called off meetings scheduled at the studio and even wrote tweets on Website/TwitterX ranging from praising the film to panning Warner Bros.' decision to shelve it. Meanwhile, fans also made fanart campaigning for the film to be released and attacking CEO David Zaslav, and even Texas congressman Joaquin Castro got in on the criticism, calling Warner Bros.' write-off practices "predatory" and "anti-competitive" and calling for the Justice Department to investigate the studio. Eventually, four days later on November 13, 2023, after enduring so much of the negative feedback, Warner Bros. finally accepted defeat and reversed their decision, unshelving the film and allowing the crew to shop it to other distributors. Then, on New Year's Eve, Creator/EricBauza took to social media to reveal the first screenshot of the film and implied its well-deserved release in 2024.

* ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain''. After Book 3 began airing on Creator/HBOMax, creator Owen Dennis revealed in interviews that the show was cancelled, starting fans efforts to spread the word out through social media, with [[https://www.polygon.com/animation-cartoons/2020/8/20/21377124/infinity-train-book-3-review-hbo-max-new-seasons some]] [[https://www.cbr.com/infinity-train-deserves-more-seasons/ media]] [[https://io9.gizmodo.com/infinity-trains-creator-says-the-shows-future-is-in-jeo-1844852183 outlets]] and even other fandoms helping spread the message.

* Since spring of 2017, there has been a small effort by a group of fans on [[Website/DeviantART DeviantART]] and the dedicated wiki to demand Takara Tomy into creating a second season of ''Anime/MiracleWanda'' and continuning the adventures of the protagonists, despite Episode 47 explicitly ending with a [[GrandFinale definite conclusion]]. A petition has been made as well, and one fan has sent multiple letters to the company. The release of the English dub recently has given hope that a continuation could be coming.

* Not just letters and posters of fan-arts, but a small group of fans actually held ''rallies'' located around the offices of major {{Creator/Nickelodeon}}-based networks for years to try and convince the big wigs to bring back the [[ScrewedByTheNetwork canceled]] ''WesternAnimation/DannyPhantom''. After Creator/ButchHartman left Nickelodeon in 2018, he also stated his passion for the series and a desire to see it return, telling fans to continue pushing for it. Eventually, [[https://www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/childrens/childrens-book-news/article/86920-spring-2022-children-s-sneak-previews.html the show has been announced to return...]] [[http://www.nickalive.net/2022/09/danny-phantom-glitch-in-time-graphic.html?m=1 as a graphic novel]], done by Gaby Epstein of ''Literature/TheBabySittersClub'' fame, taking place where ''WesternAnimation/PhantomPlanet'' left off and set for a release in summer of 2023.
* ''WesternAnimation/FinalSpace'': After the show ended abruptly on a bleak cliffhanger, the show got axed as a tax write off due to the Creator/WarnerBrosDiscovery merger. Many of the fans and series creator Olan Rogers were blindsided by this decision and refused to give up on the show. Olan in particular launched a Kickstarter campaign involving an animated short called ''Godspeed'', saying that the short will not only be heavily influenced by ''Final Space'' but also incorporate unused ideas from planned future seasons into it.

Monthly Website/{{Twitter}} trending campaigns started being organized; the first of which managed to become the top trend in the United States for several hours (plus a prize giveaway ran by the creator himself and contributed to by [[http://web.archive.org/web/20210429155103/https://twitter.com/OweeeeenDennis/status/1387796477808840705 official brands]]), with later ones managing to trend as well.
