17776 is a speculative fiction web series by Jon Bois. It follows three sentient satellites who watch football and discuss their daily lives in a future of immortality and post-scarcity. A sequel, 20002:An American Football Story, was published September 28 -October 23rd, 2020. Another sequel is planned but has not been published yet.
Overview
The story is primarily told through conversations between the satellites or between the human players on earth.
The story is multimedia, with large portions of it in text (often in color-coded chat-logs) interspersed with still images and gifs. Most chapters end with a youtube video, often showing maps and information about the worldbuilding, sometimes overlayed with more chatlog transcripts.

Fandom
A popular Tumblr post by @sun-3-160 and @daughter-of-sapph0 introduced many users to the series in 2021.[1]
It's a small fandom on AO3 with a heavy Yuletide presence -- As of September 2022, 10 out of the 130 fics on the Archive were written for Yuletide exchange. [2]
In fanart, gijinka of the three main satellites are common.
The fandom celebrated the launch of JUICE in April 2023.[3] it reached #7 on the Trending page of Tumblr.[4]
Jon Bois stated in a Q&A that nine has no set pronouns, which fans responded to positively.[5]
Fanfiction.Net
The Fanfiction.Net section for the fandom, Archived version seems to be used as a catchall category for memes, origfic, and spam. . Two illustrative fic summaries:
This is just a special something for someone I personally care for... (The Genre is just Misc, the 17776 is just here so I can post this...)[6]
PSA: What the hell is 17776 doing here?I'm seriously confused why is this the generic story dumping ground[7]
