Description Don't think this needs much explanation, just a personal opinion whipped into stamp form. Perhaps I should get myself a subbie so I can USE it!

EDIT: Adjusted the coloring a little bit, so the text should be clearer now

*grin* Somehow I imagine Mario fandom has a lot less of the OMG SERIOUS BUSINESS drama that plagues some fandoms XD Glad you like the stamp!

XD.

Well, sometimes I take the Mario fandom A BIT seriously, but when it looks like things could possibly erupt, or that the argument will clearly go nowhere, or whatnot, I usually just try to agree to disagree, and not make a big deal of things.

Heh, that's serious, not SERIOUS BUSINESS I just don't look at or read stuff that I don't particularly like, and leave the people who do like it to their fun. Very useful skill in contentious fandoms that get noisy over yaoi/non-yaoi like Gundam Wing used to.

SuperMarioFan In reply to FirefuryAmahira [2008-06-07 22:04:53 +0000 UTC]

XD. Yeah, that's why it's always best to agree to disagree, rather than get into pointless debates most of the time.

FANDOM IS SRS BIZNESS!

But yeah, it seems there's people in damn near every fandom that take things way too seriously. Why bother being in fandom if you're not having fun, y'know?

I HATE it when people go overly harsh on people's characters. Rping's for having fun. Let people have fun their own way. We're all different.

That's the idea! I mean, I personally dislike some stuff- yaoi and so-called Mary Sues. A lot. But y'know, for some fans, it's how they have fun and I've got no right to bag on 'em for having fun. 'Sides, if I don't like something, I don't have to look at it!

*cackles* Oh, do I ever agree with THIS! Unfortunately for me, I never really got to experience a fandom without people verbally attacking one another on almost a daily basis, seeing as while I have been into fanart and fanfiction a while the first time I ever got involved in a fandom community was here with DP.

Honestly, my first thoughts on all the fanwars were, "How dumb. So they have a different opinion then you. Welcome to real life!" Honestly, if they can get so worked up over something like this, I can only hope I'll never have to see them in real life with big real life issues.

I'm using this. Great job, it really gets right into the whole meaning of Real fandom-it's not about who's right or wrong, it's about enjoying the show and having fun with it! If everyone could understand that, it'd be a much happier fandom

I also say you submit this to the club so more fans can see it, because I KNOW that there's a lot of people out there who agree with you.

FirefuryAmahira In reply to TheFluffGhost [2007-05-22 05:02:13 +0000 UTC]

Well, I would, but it's not just about the DP fandom. It's about ALL fandoms, be it anime, Harry Potter, DP, video games, comic books, etc etc.

After all, people don't play at a park because it's safe. They play because it's fun.

TheFluffGhost In reply to FirefuryAmahira [2007-05-22 05:21:45 +0000 UTC]

You're right, this should apply for everything, shows/books/games/etc. It's a constant, where there's a group of people with a variety of different opinions who all happen to like the same thing, undoubtedly there's going to be fighting. I just meant that it'd be a good way to spread the ideal around a bit, but I've always been bad at explanations

And I like the park metaphor, one of the best I've heard so far. People are different, and they're not going to change just because 'you're right', so everyone should just GET OVER IT! FANDOM HIPPIE FOR LIFE

Yesterday I was looking at this on my own computer, now I'm looking at it on my parent's. For some reason, it's twice as dark as mine is and the screen wouldn't get any brighter, so I wouldn't have been able to read this yesterday at all.

Now it's much better and the word pop out at me.

Do what Lou did to make her "No subbie" stamp. You cut it in half and use both halves as an account so you can use the thing to show it up without a subbie I think this would make a really good one for that, especially to put on the DPRF journal page

I love the conspect, but it would be better if the words were slightly brighter or the background was darker. They tend to blend with each other.

FirefuryAmahira In reply to Neko-Neko1 [2008-12-14 00:39:41 +0000 UTC]

I used Paint Shop Pro 10, which is a substantially cheaper alternative to Photoshop, but still has a lot of the same functions. And you find stamp-edge borders all over DevArt, or make your own.

I'm so using this. There are times when I rant about fandom issues and such, but I try and spend more time enjoying fandom.

FirefuryAmahira In reply to Netbug009 [2007-05-20 05:23:58 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it seems to me just the better option to put energy into doing something productive than trying to take someone else down. That's why I just do not get some of these groups that are against a certain character from a show or something. I mean, why spend all that effort hating somebody when I could be putting that same effort into doing something about somebody I like?

And thanks, cool to know someone's gonna use the stamp!

Netbug009 In reply to FirefuryAmahira [2007-05-20 05:26:34 +0000 UTC]

I'm in a few anti-clubs personally, but only when I really feel something is wrong. (Christian morals + annoying fandom trends = ranting Netbug) I don't get annoyed about what's canon and stuff like that.

I also don't hate people because they have different views than me.

[snerks] The funny thing for me is I got two ideas for stamps.

One says "My canon has-" and then listing all the weird stuff in the greek myths.

The second is 'I endorse having fun.'

FirefuryAmahira In reply to ESProtra [2007-05-20 03:19:36 +0000 UTC]

Got the idea while swapping messages with =Netbug009 over the past couple of days, actually. We were talking about Mary Sues and how in the end the only thing that really matters is whether or not yer having fun.

ESProtra In reply to FirefuryAmahira [2007-05-20 03:41:59 +0000 UTC]

Heh. Mary Sues are only fun when their your own or you close friend's.

FirefuryAmahira In reply to ESProtra [2007-05-20 03:46:48 +0000 UTC]

True, but what really matters about a Sue? Whether other people enjoy it, or whether the creator enjoys it?

Granted, seems other people liked my parody Mary Sue stories >_>
