Members Ryan Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Are you tired of the stupid fanbase wars? Are you tired of hearing people talk about how a show sucks because "their" couple, or character isn't featured the way they believe they should? Are you a fan of the show FIRST AND FOREMOST? Then maybe this thread is for you. I'm a big fan of GH. I love many couples on the show, but I am a GHFF. Same with DAYS, OLTL, AMC and others. I hope to have banners done to promote the "Show Fans First" alliance. Our motto? Overall show quality over fanbase pleasing please!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Oh you know I'm in. I am a OLTLFF. You all know that. Never will you hear me say, "OMG, Tangeline is OLTL, or Crave is OLTL, or T&B is OLTL, because they are not.....OLTL is OLTL. Show before sex, even though sex is good. F*** Fanbases, and I mean that in the nicest way possible It's all about then show. I watch 6 0f 9 and I am devoted to the show. I couldnt care less about some couple.

Members KSlater Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Count me in! I love everything about soap operas in general. I have my favorites, but I am absolutely a soap fan first. Give me some good ole' fashioned soapy drama and I'm there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members daysfan Posted August 17, 2007 Members Share Posted August 17, 2007 Oh I am definately in. Looking at a paticular thread, it reminds me WHY I am sick of all the fanbases. Days in paticular. They have become so fickle and this is why Days is falling apart. It's not even Corday anymore, IT'S THE FANBASES! Goes for all shows! These fanbases, if they don't get their couple, quit watching! THEY ARE WHAT MAKE SOAPS SUFFER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Count me in! Soaps are supposed to ensemble pieces, not vehicles for one particular couple or actor. It's a shame that all this fighting amongst the various fan groups is leading to the deterioration of this once thriving genre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NaVell J. Lee Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Count me in...I am for soap first and foremost. I do not watch to see a particular couple/pairing or character. I watch the show for a character-driven ensemble! where are those who love the drama w/in the characters, instead of the drama w/ fanbase couples?

Members Keith Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 fanbase wars, ftl. count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TC Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I like this idea. Count me in as well. It seems almost silly that we would have to make this kind of proclamation, but the reality is, we do need to. If you are like me, you've been saying this for years, only to be drowned out by fanbase wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Shawn Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 Obviously I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Days4Life Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm in, too! These fanbase wars are crazy and completely unnecessary. It's time we let the soaps know that there a lot of people who just want good stories instead of a certain character or couple featured all the time. They are very vocal; we should be vocal, too!

Members TC Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 It seems obvious to me that Brian Frons and the rest of the ABCD brass want the fabases to be at war. Is this the same for the other networks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheyenne Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I'm so in! These crazed fan bases are death to daytime. Hey, we should start a fan base 'against crazed fan bases'. j/k It's a complete mystery to me how one can be so caught up by a couple on a fictional tv-show to go overboard like this. I just don't get it. I watch my shows for the actual show not for any particular couple. Yes, I have my favorites. But that's so so far from being over the top. I'm not a "fan" of Abe a Lexie really. But the scene in my banner got to me and that's why I use this banner. There might be a banner of Kristian Alfonso tomorrow simply because I like her acting, next week perhaps it's Julie Pinson.

Members NYC123 Posted August 18, 2007 Members Share Posted August 18, 2007 I am in! Ryan I totally agree with you! No matter what I will stand by AMC and GH! I watch those soaps because they keep me entertained and because of the stories. Even though I love Jr/Babe on AMC that does not mean i should not watch AMC. I have watched AMC scince 1994! I hate people that watch a show just so they can watch there favorite charatcer or pairing on! LAME! Ryan I love that you started this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
