I assume Axanar raised over $1million dollars from more than 2000 donors. Can we assume therefore that some of the support for Axanar has decreased now since they haven't all signed the petition? Plus I assume this petition may include people who didn't donate to Axanar.
Best guess, most liked the idea of a nice fan film, but relatively few attached to stretch goals of carving out a mini Trek empire and SF production company. PR wise, I'd guess 10k is a loose nail on the stair you will want to fix soon; 2k is a splinter under the carpet.
Well, yeah, but consider how many people here have said they donated money to the project back in the day and now wish they hadn't.
You are obviously not a very good AxaStalker - that's not Boomer.

These true believers aren't going to film squat (w/no actors signed & a legal hammer hanging over their heads among other things).........but thanks to this tweet, they still have people willing to donate to their fund for sushi & blow........

Nope, it's one of the Spots from TNG.
Transformative!
Yep, and no reason the song can't be to the tune of Camelot.
Meanwhile, Fuller is hinting STD will be set in the pre-TOS era. Y'know, just like that hypothetical Axanar film.
One thing that kind of scares me..........given that tweet and then reports that STD will be set in the same period as Axanar, I'm kind of wondering whether LFIM & his cabal will launch a counter-suit claiming that C/P stole his idea (that wasn't really his to begin with - all of this highly improbable, I know)..........
I doubt he'll launch a lawsuit. It would cost him a ton of money and he will lose. No, he will rant on Twitter. Which wouldn't cost anything.
I figured that.........judging by his past actions though, I wasn't too sure
Ah, like the guy who sued Paramount and Nick Meyer claiming they stole his idea for Star Trek VI. Yup, that was a thing that happened.
Briefly, some guy wrote a screenplay called "Star Trek IV: Inside the Klingon Empire" and registered it with the copyright office. His agent--well, his mom--submitted it to Paramount, where an executive returned it without reading it. Years later, the guy sued claiming The Undiscovered Country was substantially the same story. The judge laughed it out of court:
You jest but we all know that that suggestion isn't beyond the realms of possibility.
I am astonished at how docile the remaining donors are and how little they ask of Alec.
I am led to believe that the vast majority of them have simply given up and walked away, but there has to be a few of the high dollar donors who are majorly pissed at the fact he can't even fulfill the most basic of promises.

Well we are now a few weeks past the release of Beyond. JJ and Lin bought time and a lack of Axanot criticism by indicating the lawsuit would end. Now that the box office is winding down...
Gee I suspect JJ will be very silent going forward. And the lawsuit seems to be continuing. Nice move JJ!
