 PRIMARY CONNECTION: [[fanchise management is a stack of increasing fan engagement from content extensions through co-creation and co-ownership]]
 WHY ARCHIVED: Specific community co-creation implementation details (storyboards, scripts, collectibles in show) + YouTube-first distribution choice
 EXTRACTION HINT: Focus on the SPECIFIC co-creation mechanisms, not just "community involvement." What exactly do holders see/do? Also the distribution strategy (YouTube-first for a major co-production) is counter-intuitive.
