Richard Rankin reached 40k followers on Twitter with the help Outlander Grand Poobah, William Shatner and his #FollowFriday shout out on Rik’s behalf. Here is that conversation, followed by Rik’s Twitter Q&A. I have included some highlights from the Q&A below, and Erin Conrad of Three If By Space recapped the whole Q&A (link below). Please enjoy! ?
Here is a photo of “adorable me” Shatner, promoting Heughan’s Heughligans (Sam’s fan group) designed Be Kind T-shirt to counteract cyber-bullying andsupport Pop Culture Hero Coalition.
Adorable me again reminding you that you still have time to purchase a #BeKind shirt: https://t.co/WMTvWOsTDV pic.twitter.com/Z618AeRiNB
