There is Rem love out there? I'm not the only one? I am not alone??

Beautiful secret. I love that art.

[telluryan.livejournal.com]

OMG you're right. LOL. How fitting that it's in an HSM secret.

[pariah164.livejournal.com]

1. People who call it Desu Noto are usually the insane, 'omg yaoi' fangirls. I call it Deah Note, kthx.

2. I LOVED REM. Still do. Best Shinigami EVAR.

4. IAWTS. Lolis are so damned cute. And I'm female.

17. Wow. Impressive shop. And I agree, I'm glad they didn't kiss.

19. *sigh* Why all the unhealthy secrets? :\

That's a fan-art, not a manip.

Why are you even viewing animation as something realistic?

Re: 19

[(Anonymous)]

that's what I'm trying to figure out too, with all these anime=poor self image secrets.

[valkyriur.livejournal.com]

#5, I'm glad somebody was able to make that character amazing for you. It's wonderful when somebody can portray a character like that and totally turn around you impressions of them. (I understand her purpose in the series, but I still can't stand her. Her personality is the same kind of personality I can't stand in real life.)

#9, Awwww. *cute*

#10, I've been refraining from commenting on these. I don't have a problem with people who like this movie...but I really, really don't like that movie.

[xfkirsten.livejournal.com]

10. ILU. I love HSM, too, but I can't bring myself to join the fandom because I really can't connect with teens today, and would find myself rather frustrated. But I loved the movies. I can do the dances. I sing along. And yes, Zac Efron looks WAY better with dark hair. It brings out his blue eyes. (ZOMGHairspraylove!) And I feel weird for crushing over a kid five years younger than me. :P

I AM 24, AND I LOVE HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL.

3. That's the thing about small fandoms, it's awesome that the bad stuff found in big fandoms. But like, it's so lonely sometimes D:

[toxictattoo.livejournal.com]

Total agreement.

Why oh why would you want to be a BNF? I've been one and I've had friends who were one. Yeah it can be flattering when people say "hey I know you!" but there's a lot of trouble that goes along with it. My friends have had all kinds of creeps IMing them (fortunately, I refused to talk to anyone I didn't know after my first one who I blocked within a few minutes), you have an easier chance to be plagiarized and you have to be careful what you say or you'll be viewed as a wanky nut and end up on Fandom_Wank.

However, if you really want to be a BNF, fanfics aren't the only way. I find being active and speaking your mind is probably the quicker to gain BNF status than fanfics. Be active in the comm of your fandom and be knowledgeable on the series so you can answer any question that is asked. Don't just know the series, study it. If you want quicker results pick a smaller fandom.

There are other things you can do too, get some Photoshop tutorials and learn how to make icons. If you're in a manga fandom, learn how to scanlate and be the first one each week to release the scanlated scans. Again if you're in a manga fandom have an account at one of the upload sites (mediafire for example) and always make sure it's up to date with the releases so when someone asks for a volume/chapter you can quickly post the link without having to take time to upload it. Be creative in getting your name out there and come up with other ideas of things you can do. Again a smaller fandom will get you quicker results.

If you want quicker results pick a smaller fandom.

being a big fish in a little pond doesn't carry the same weight as being a big fish in a big pond. having 100 fans who adore you and hang on your every word and having name recognition among those 100 fans is not the same as having 1000 fan name recognition.

all that aside, your suggestions are good and valid for getting a smaller fandom out there and getting more love for it. you are right. spearheading a small fandom into the public view will get your name to the top of the list for the small fandom and give you the satisfaction of spreading your fandom for the masses.

Who Are they?! *drools*

Re: 15

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

Fay (the blond one) and Kurogane (the one with red eyes) from the manga Tsubasa: Reservoir Chronicles by CLAMP.

4. No, you're a pedo. Not as bad as a pedo who lusts after actual little girls, but still pretty goddamn bad.

[zoom-gas.livejournal.com]

3. I hear ya.

[jantra.livejournal.com]

I used to work for Chuck E. Cheese. Your icon made me want to cry in terrible memories of repeating songs and having to be in the Chuck E. Cheese costume.

Hate that place now. ; ;

10

[planecrashdream.livejournal.com]

I love it, too.

And you think you have it bad? Try being surrounded by musical theatre / broadway elitists all the time. Because I'm in the musical theatre community, I can't admit it. Ever. I'm terrified to ever say I like it around any of them; they would seriously kick my ass. Seriously.

(Kind-of like shipping H/Hr.)

And the stupidest thing is.. none of them have ever seen it. God forbid they should ever give it a chance or see the good in it. What's wrong with just admitting you like cheesy stuff? When did that become so wrong? When did it start making you stupid, just to like a silly movie? Anyways, I love it. I loved the second one, too.

We'll just have to stick together. There aught to be a HSM anonymous or something.

Ashley and Ryan are my 2 faves. :D

[factorielle.livejournal.com]

15. ... Why would this pairing need to be more popular anyway? Isn't it plenty popular already? O_o

[rekallthegreat.livejournal.com]

It's the most popular pairing in the fandom.

Seriously, the Syaoran/Sakura comm (which includes CCS) only has 186 members. The KuroFay comm has 1487 members! There are more members in the KuroFay comm than there are members in the main TRC comm (that has 1279 members).

It's so popular it gets a lot of batshit insane fans, which leaves the sane fans (hi!) frustrated because the idiots are ruining it for the rest of us.

[elwing-alcyone.livejournal.com]

2. Going by the comments, there are plenty of Rem fans out there. No wonder Rem gets no love if none of her fans are prepared to speak up. I like Rem; she's not my favourite, but if there were fic about her I'd probably read it. But I just don't understand the secrets that say, "I love this fandom/character, but I don't say anything because no one else does." If you feel that way, chances are someone else will, so just... write what you want. Sometimes, somebody has to get the ball rolling.

To the OP of the secret, maybe fandom as a whole is overlooking Rem because all of her fans stopped posting and left fandom!

21. Another JSRF secret! I have to ask; concerning the characters' personalities, is it all fanon? Or is there somewhere with more detailed profiles, or what? Cause you can't tell much from the game, but there seems to be quite a consensus among fans.

21

[telluryan.livejournal.com]

There are one-line profiles on places like Wiki, and in the game there are very minor descriptions of the characters, but other than that you just kind of have to draw from what they say/do in-game, which still isn't very much. So, yeah. Most of it is fanon.

[dropsofgleam.livejournal.com]

1. DESU DESU DESU DEEEEEEEESU ~ *is annoying*

2. Word. Rem is awesome and so is Misa. *hugs them*

5. AND THIS ONE IS EVEN MORE AWESOME! :D Relena is my favorite character and it SUCKS to be bitchslapped by yaoi fanbrats just for liking her. :(

[jantra.livejournal.com]

6. Dear god I love Deidara. Those little 'un' sounds are such a turn on. No idea why. He's currently 3rd on my 'to cosplay' list of people. XD

[despedia]

5) I never liked Relena and will never like her, and it has nothing to do witht he yaoi. I see her as contraddictive, and she become a pacifist suddendly, only after knowing she's a peacecraft. It has no sense at all, and I find it stupid. I can clearly remember that in a fight between zechs (his brother, though she didn't know that at the time, ahn) and Heero she said to Heero "don't let him go, Kill him!".
Thinking she became a pacifist after that... no sense at all, really.

19) Then why don't you wish to have unrealisticly big eyes and strange propotions as well? Not to offend you, but wanted to be like, even just because of he/her's skinny, an anime chara, is anything but bright.

14) Akane a minor? ò_o I remember Akane being a very important character ò_o

24

[(Anonymous)]

No, no. Sorry for the confusion.

The secret means that I say Akane's my favorite because Kasumi's such a minor character and Ranma-chan's not even really a character at all.

[fireholly.livejournal.com]

18. Dear secret poster, please tell me more about this fandom. The art style is fantastic and I am curious. Also I love slashing everything so you've got a good chance of achieving your dream if you just tell me about it...

Don't compare something to 4chan unless you know what 4chan is, shit-for-brains.

19: Check into a fucking mental hospital right now. I mean now, as in turn your fucking computer off and go. Don't come out until you can tell the difference between real life and cartoons. jesus christ.

Retards like you are the reason why mainstream news points its finger at video games/anime/whatever every time some nutball who played GTA once or twice shoots somebody.

tl;dr: GET HELP AND STOP BLAMING YOUR MENTAL PROBLEMS ON ANIME.

DtB YESSS. *made that stupid DtB Abridged on darker_than SHAMELESS PLUG*

I've only watched up through Episode 6 so far but I love it. I just have to be less lazy and WATCH it.

Heheh...It actually made my heat ache a bit to read this. The very first relationship I was in was with someone who was "Squall" to my "Rinoa". I really dislike Rinoa now. Heh.

[rayiroth.livejournal.com]

13. Whut? WHUT?!

[roomofawakening.livejournal.com]

2. OMFG I've always loved Rem <3. She is hands-down the most gorgeous Shinigami. (I'd say character but I love L too much.)
6. I used to like Deidara, and I think he's pretty but I don't like his "art." I mean, maybe some people like creating the same thing over and over again just to have it explode? But I don't see it auuugh!
