    • 2014 February 21, Dana Hayes, “Hannibal's Hungry Tumblr Fandom”, in Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting:
      "I know there's a lot of Hannigram shipping out there," Gamier said, referring to the Lecter-Graham pairing. "That's not my bag, but I get it and respect them. I am more of a Hannigail or Hannibloom shipper."
    • 2015, Jeff Casey, “Queer Cannibals and Deviant Detectives: Subversion and Homosocial Desire in NBC's Hannibal”, in Quarterly Review of Film and Video, volume 32, number 6:
      Aja Romano, writing for The Daily Dot during the series' first season in 2013, observed that “slashers,” fans who “ship” (imagine or write relationships) between same-sex characters, “are already coming out in droves for Hannibal/Graham, or 'Hannigram,' as fans have dubbed the obligatory ship portmanteau.”
    • 2015 June 3, Eric Thurm, “Hannibal showrunner: 'We are not making television. We are making a pretentious art film from the 80s'”, in The Guardian:
      Perhaps this is part of the reason why Hannibal, though it has an extremely devoted, practically religious fanbase (including a sizeable contingent of “Hannigram” shippers), has failed to achieve quite the level of widespread success attained by similarly lurid series like American Horror Story or The Walking Dead.
