That seems vaguely pointless. And a little bit of a silly reason to join a fandom.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
What, being the big fish in a small pond AND ousting a despotic BNF? Sounds awesome to me.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)
seems like a fun reason to me

[Picture is a person sitting on a field of hills, leaning back and holding themselves up with their arms. The light obscures the person.]

The only reason I joined my small fandom was to see if I could become a Big Name Fan... And because I didn't think the existing Big Name Fan deserved it.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Kind of a weird gamble to take. If you aren't a big fan, the fandom won't be that great for you even if you're popular? Plus being a BNF always seems to come with drama/baggage.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, being a BNF always comes with some wank/drama. I dunno why you'd want to subject yourself to that.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
If the BNF doesn't prioritize the popularity like you do, then maybe you're wrong about who's more deserving. After coming across so many "BNF"s that I don't find particularly talented, all I really care about is whether they're nice and enthusiastic.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow. I never thought I'd see the day, but there's finally someone who actually is a bad fan.

(Assuming that your stated reason for joining the fandom really is your only reason for joining it)

Seriously; this is very petty. Assuming you only care about the fandom so you could be a BNF.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:14 pm (UTC)(link)
One of the reasons I don't give a fuck about 'BNFs'. I just assume you are all ego-driven morons.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 02:12 am (UTC)(link)
They pretty much are.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:15 pm (UTC)(link)
I want to know how it worked out. Are you the BNF you dreamed of becoming?

Sounds doomed to failure.

Even if you win, you lose.

And how did that work out for you?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-23 11:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Do small fandoms even really have BNFs? My last fandom was pretty small and I can't really think of anyone who fell under this. There was no particular fan 'everyone' knew because we all knew each other. Genuinely curious about this. I guess if it's a bit of a dying fandom and there's someone who reignites it, they'd be pretty big? Or the one person who writes decent fic in the fandom? I genuinely assumed small fandoms didn't have this sort of issue, ha.

What if people just got into fandom because they wanted to have fun?

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 02:38 am (UTC)(link)
I can relate, Anon. I saw how small my current fandom was when I first saw it and set out to be a BNF. I knew I could rock the joint, so that's what I aimed to do.
I did reach my "goal" and become one of the first woman BNFs in the fandom, but I also legitimately love this fandom and all the friends I've made.
So while people are going "IF YOU SET OUT TO BE A BNF FIRST YOU CAN'T HAVE FUN", you can set out to be a BNF first AND have fun AND make fandom a better place.
You don't have to be an expert on the fandom before you decide you want to make a difference.

Several people have already asked how it went, now including me, so... how did it go? Did you succeed or crash and burn? Curious nonnies want to know!

Congratulations you win nothing and fail at fandom.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 11:30 am (UTC)(link)
THERE CAN ONLY BE ONNNNNNE.

(Anonymous) 2013-07-24 04:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Laffin' at the people who are calling Anon names and assuming they're terrible for wanting to be a big contributor to a fandom. Notoriety in fandom doesn't always happen by accident. Cripes.
