Well, you did it. Congratulations, anti-fans. You got what you strove for: Danny Phantom's cancellation.

Yes, this was almost certainly your fault, and yes you encouraged it - and almost certainly precipitated it -with your sick crap: perverting a children's program into something you wouldn't want your own mother to know you were doing. Hooray. What a proud moment for you.

The show was still insanely popular on Nickelodeon, so why was it canceled? Even Butch Hartman doesn't know. Could it be due to outraged parents finding some of your filth art or sick "fan" fiction, and writing angry letters to Nick or Viacom about it? Think that is so outrageous? It has happened before, and more than one series has seen an untimely end due to viewers' angry outcry. Viewership is what drives the very existence of TV shows after all, and networks are incredibly fickle.

And even if your sleazy garbage was not "immediately" responsible for Danny being prematurely canned, can you say that you did everything (or anything for that matter) to support the show or to ensure its survival? Did you draw or write anything that celebrated or upheld the honor of Butch, Danny, and the series? Or did you draw and write trash that only served to entertain your own selfish whims, sex fantasies, or other fetishes, with no consideration whatsoever for what Butch, Nickelodeon, Viacom, or young kids (and their parents) might think? I thought so.

So you see now, finally, at the very end, how fickle Hollywood is and how fragile any one show is while on the air. There are a million upcoming artists and shows waiting in the wings. It does Nick and other networks no good to keep shows on that are a liability to them, not when they have dozens waiting on deck to choose from.

Who is to say that Nick did not feel that outrage from parents over your sleazeball crap was too big a liability for them to keep the show on any longer? Were you aware that there have even been petitions out there to GET the show canceled? If you lived a little more in the real world and a little less with your heads up your rear ends, maybe you would have realized just how tenuous and flighty TV land (and its viewers) can be.

Well, I hope that you are satisfied now, and that you all have enjoyed your selfish little pleasure ride of abuse and exploitation on Danny. Many of you kept saying how you felt you weren't destroying Danny's image and that of Butch and the show. What a shame that you had to learn the hard way just how wrong you were.

But perhaps it is not too late after all? Perhaps it took this horrible news to show you just how precious this show really was? Maybe now you will have learned that it and its characters truly are a once-in-a-lifetime rare and wonderful thing -- that Danny and his show were something that deserved to be honored and respected, not raped and twisted into something they were never meant to be.

It makes me weep for you though, that Danny had to die to make you realize this.

If you truly want to finally, at last, do something right for the show and for Danny, write to Nickelodeon at the address that Butch put up on his website:

Nickelodeon
1515 Broadway
New York, NY 10036
Attn: Programming

Save Danny and save yourselves from the guilt of knowing it was you that killed him, whether you are mature enough to own up to that or not. Do the right thing for a change and write letters to Nickelodeon asking that the show be retained. If ever there was a chance for redemption here, both for the show and for YOU, this is it. Now is the time to act, before it really is too late.

My apologies for the preaching here, but I felt in my heart that this had to be said. I cannot begin to explain how distraught I and other true fans are over this. I knew that I was personally getting involved in trying to get the word out about how Butch felt about this filth art and writing on Danny too late. We all suffer now. All of us.
