Tips and Tricks from the members of the Anti-Fangirl Guild on how not to be a total raving fangirl who is mocked by the more intelligent population of Gaia Online biggrin
PostPosted: Tue Aug 03, 2004 4:50 pm


Rule Number 1: Please, for the love of all that is good and holy in this universe, learn how to spell. Learn proper grammar on punctuation. Multiple exclamation points with millions of number ones scattered in between are not correct. That also goes for using numbers in place of letters, and misspelling a word so as to make it shorter and easier to type. (EX: 0rli iz teh s3xxorZ!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!11! i LuV h1m!11)

Make it clear that you know the difference between fantasy and reality. Orlando Bloom is not your boyfriend, fiance, or anything else like that. Neither is Johnny Dep, Ashton Kutcher, or Elija Wood. Most of these actors already have girlfriends or wives, and some have kids.

It is inappropriate to wish harm on an actor's (or actress's) significant other. This ill will is harmful in many ways and silly to boot; you've probably never even met any of these actors, so how do you know you even like them?

Also, these guidelines follow for Reverse Fangirls. If you don't like, say, Elija Wood, please don't type, "OmG!!1! ElIja ShUD DIEEE!!1" This is just as silly as being a fangirl.

Don't tell everyone you see, who you are "madly" inlove with in the celebrity's world. And least of all why you're inlove with him/her.
People don't really care about it, and are annoyed by it. If you have a secret fantasy about some celeb, fine. But keep it to yourself, instead of telling everyone: "Omg!!1 Orli is so hawt!! I LUVVE OrlI!!11". Or any other celeb.
+edit: And don't go around saying you're gonna have "57428564395643574354278462378427" kids with some of them.. That is probably one of the most annoying thigs.. You know..
When you actually think you have a chance.

Do not wear "Mrs. Timberlake" clothing. Or any "Mrs." type of clothing that involves a famous persons name for that matter.

Its rude.

#1. Do not assume that everyone shares your love for said celebrity or fictional character. Taste in guys and/or girls is completely subjective, and though it may seem to you that no one could possibly find Orli/Johnny/Keira/Angelina ugly, there are millions of people out there who would rather vomit than even think about them. You need to realize that this is perfectly normal and does not give you free rein to declare, "OnLy FukkIn BsTrds Dnt LuFF OrLI!1!!11!"

#2. No one is going to think that it's cute if you squeal and talk loudly whilst your crush walks across the screen in a movie theatre. In fact, you're likely to have fifty angry people wishing for nothing more than to wring your freakish little neck for being such an obnoxious moron.

#3. Please stop using the "You're just jealous" retort for everything. If we say that we find your incessant squealing annoying, informing us that we are just jealous makes absolutely no sense. No one is jealous that they can't squeal and be irritating like you. No one is jealous that they don't own half a million Legolas posters. No one is jealous that they don't type like a blind orangutan on Prozac. No one is jealous of you, period.

If you're a fan of a particular book series, please discuss it like you are a slightly intelligent and partially mature person.

Write in complete sentences already! With proper grammar! It cannot be repeated enough that nobody likes trying to figure out what you're trying to say with all those misspelled words and random numbers.

Don't wish death upon imaginary people for harming your favorite imaginary person. Likewise, do not wish death upon the author for killing off a favorite character. He or she likely had a reason for doing it. So don't act like a child off its Ritalin and squeal, "OH NOES!11111ONEONEONEONEONE! ThEy KiLlEd (insert character here) oFf! BsTaRD!!!!!32WSONE!" Dude. Chill. It's just a book. A vessel for enjoyment, not semiretarded rants and arguments. Discuss something deep, like philosophical meaning or something.

If you just saw the movie based on the book, don't try to start stuff with the book fans. It only leads to immense headaches on both sides. Read the book (at least part of it) before you proclaim your insane, illiterate love for it.

Yes, I know I have a thing in my signature saying "Anton LaVey fangirl." I'm going to change it to "fan" as soon as possible... xp

Please, when someone posts a board about a movie that the object of your fangirlness is in, do NOT take that as an open invitation to SPAM it with posts about how much you love _________. The person who created the board had a specific purpose for it, wheather to discuss characterization, setting, etc. Follow thier lead. Don't run off with the topic mutating it in to a fangirl congregation, for I shall beat you if you do.

Your Caps Lock button is not stuck (if it is, get a new keyboard.)

Just because someone Roleplays a certain character does not mean they'd enjoy or even want to be glomped, kissed, or "*[dragged] of 2 a clost n [done] nawteh thingz 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*".

Real World:

When you see someone walking by wearing a shirt from your favorite movie, comic book, cartoon series, don't scream "OH MY GAWWD _____ RAWKS".

It scares the crap out of the poor individual wearing the article of clothing. Really, it does
(I'm never wearing my "Z?" shirt again).

Rule whatever we're up to now: The Actor in question is not madly in love with you

Cartoon characters are strictly that. Cartoons. Pixels. Lines and Colors.
They cannot love you, reproduce with you, or even acknowledge your existence.
Voice Actors don't like you, or appreciate you making them say stupid things into your tape recorder. It's sad.

Making fan fiction is a great way to start writing.
But slash is just scary.
Don't make characters do things they wouldn't otherwise do.
This includes, but is not limited to : Pairings with characters that would change their sexual orientation, pairings with YOU (the author), and excessive straying from the character's normal ideals.

Saying I love you to some one that you have known for a long time and who likes you back in the same way, is fine.

Going into the Gaia Gay Guys thread and claiming that every gay man on the page is your property is just rude.

They are GAY. The do not date females. Get that threw your head. Or at least keep your fantasys to your self. They really dont give a damn.

P.S.
Putting pictures of your "one and only omgee true lurve" in your siggy and then swear to kill anyone who doesn't love them, and to also kill anyone who loves them as much as you, is just....wrong....

(Can I post in here? Anyway)
If someone goes off ranting about how some movie star or something like that is in their point of view "theirs and only theirs" try to stop youre from flameing them for what they said, most likely they said that just for attention. The best thing to do is to just ignore it and move on, sooner or later they will get the message and leave.
