Do you feel part of a positive community? Are you glad to be part of the BATB fandom? |

Given the nature of your questions, I feel as if you could go into various threads and get people's reactions to being part of the fandom-especially the New Beastie thread....you could also show how members express their feeling about certain aspects of the show and find quotes from different members that show their support or disapproval of others' views. I think you have a ton of information already within the forum...that being said, if there is something specific, I would be very happy to help. I can start off by saying that you have my permission to quote anything I have written anywhere on this forum. Best of luck with your paper!
If you set up a poll with specific questions, I'm sure tons would answer, myself included.

I have never been a part of a fandom before. This is so amazing. I have connected with people all over the world because of our mutual love for this show. I feel I've even made some friendships that will outlast the length of this show. I've also been inspired, creatively, in many ways. I was a novelist before - now I am an addicted fan-fiction writer. BATB is something I think about day and night. And the best place to be is right here with other beasties sharing our obsession!

hi, can I ask you what your degree is and is it a bachelor or masters degree? and what is the topic of your dissertation?
i am very curious especially since i was discussing with a forum member a while ago so many studies could be made on fandoms and people's feelings and emotions and how do people interact as individuals or as part of a group. I am sure actually many such studies have been done in the past. and there is so much you can find out just by studying this forum's threads
anyway, really interested in your topic of research. i have a research background myself (PhD in political science) and would be glad to help you with anything u need x

Belonging to this forum made realize we are involved in such a "reality" of an actual society!! It is amazing! I will develop a bit later how I feel around here and being a Beastie! |

Thanks for your reply Brit, and here's something for you.
My love for the show, BatB, led me to be on the Internet much more than I ever was before (I only used it for work purposes). Searching for everything BatB, let me to this site where I read for over a year before even comtemplating registering. So I would say that my love for the show gave me courage to try something I had never imagined myself doing. And my courage has continued to grow, because when you share of yourself, you are always vulnerable, even from behind the screne. However, I have discovered a place where i can fully be myself. We share every emotion together, even when we do not see eye to eye. To me, this place is a community, where e each have our own place, our own identity and where we all BELONG. There is an atmosphere of trust in here, and members are able to express evry feeling, opinion and crazy idea under the son. I have encountered many kindred spirits in here, built friendsips, that like many here, I hope will continue long after the show is off the air. Cheers to all my chicas!

Hello! I am writing an essay about the BATB fandom for University and was wondering if you could answer a few questions Basically I was just wondering what your general thoughts are on the fandom side of things, and why you are so dedicated to the show? What a cool idea! Karen asked me to co-admin this forum, which she wanted to create to support Kristin's new show. Kristin has always generated a lot of internet buzz, good or bad - people just like to talk about her. So we wanted to do this forum and the social media outlets to help create a buzz and have a gathering place for the fandom, and hopefully get more seasons for the show. This isn't my only fandom, but I have found Beasties to be extremely loyal, outspoken, passionate, bonded, dedicated, mostly unified, and also kind of sensitive, if I'm honest. I've never seen such a relatively "small" fandom roar so loudly, when it counts, to rally together and show our presence. And, I realize the show is only a season-and-a-half old, but I've rarely seen such a unified fandom. I just hope we keep that up and always include all Beasties, whether they ship Vincat or Gabe and Cat or whatever. The point is that we love these characters and want to support this show! And that's what this general fandom site is for. That's my 2 cents.  |
