Collapsed for length!

Re: Transcript by OP

[fscom]

Have you heard about the Heated Rivalry fancam editor that got hired by HBO? Well, that almost happened to me. It wasn't video editing, I do a different kind of fan edits. And it wasn't HBO, it was a smaller online content brand that I really really love.
I noticed a gap in their marketing and emailed them about it, very nonchalantly said at the end that they could hire me if they wanted. I was REALLY shocked when they actually sent me a job proposal.

But when I replied to schedule a meeting...they never got back to me. They ghosted me. And I can't tell anyone about this, because I feel like the fandom will probably get mad at the company for doing this. I don't want anyone to blame the company since they actually don't owe me anything.

It was always too good to be true. But I just feel so sad about it, especially now that everyone is talking about this other fan that got the same thing and actually got hired.

That sucks, OP. I’m sorry. I wish they had treated you better.

I'm not in this fandom but commiserations for the missed opportunity, OP. :(

[(Anonymous)]

That sucks :(
At least they could have email that they no longer need this position covered or something

I'm sorry Secret OP. A missed opportunity like that sounds so painful to have missed.

I've been in similar shoes, and it's so hard not to feel bitter and comparative. I don't wish ill on the person who got doors opened for them, but I can't help but think "why couldn't that have been me?"

I'm sorry this happened to you, but at the same time I don't think you should feel too bad. I'm unfamiliar with the content you're talking about, but the fact you sent in a mention, were actually heard, and were even offered a proposal is incredibly impressive!
Not hearing back on a job offer isn't that uncommon though, especially since your interaction was so casual. It doesn't take away the hurt, not at all, especially since HBO made famous a thing you essentially had proposed. That absolutely sucks.

Still, I don't think you owe them your silence either. I'm sure I'm missing some context, but they never profited off your idea, I assume? My guess is that whoever fielded the emails saw potential in yours and sent it up the ranks. It got high enough to offer potential work, but perhaps because they heard of HBO's fancam they either nixed it, or the people who dealt with the money required the offer to go through official means that bureaucracy took you out of, or more likely decided against it. Regardless, you should never consider yourself ghosted, this shit happens a lot. And I think it would do you well to talk about this with your fandom friends.
