I'm going to shut down this blog.
I've been thinking about this for a while, but haven't had the time. Back when I started this blog, I was hoping to put together the best the Danny Phantom Phandom had to offer. I'd been around for so long, I wanted to put together a showcase of the best of the best and send it off to Butch Hartman, Steve Marmel, All the cast and crew of the show, and Nickelodeon itself.
I know now that it's a fruitless endeavor.
The Phandom changed, there's a different group of people here now. Two times over.
I always wanted you all to just stop fighting, that was the goal I wanted to reach. A stupid one mind you, but seeing as I literally never had trouble with anyone and tended to go out of my way to protect my fandom family, it just seemed natural to think we're could reach it.
Since then I've seen the fandom have multiple meltdowns and influx of new people. And each batch caused new drama. It'd just how fandoms work.
As of now, I've mostly separated myself from the Danny Phandom.
On top of that people stopped taking the blog seriously and would just send raunchy stuff that I didn't want to see (which is weird because I literally LIVED in that group for a while) because Butch said he didn't like it.
Don't take this as sad though, I'm not angry with anyone. New people enter fandoms and make changes. That is healthy for its growth. I want to see you all grow and become a solid fanbase that helps and protects one another.
It's just time I move on.
But before I shut down this blog on January 1st 2020, I want to take a walk down memory lane.
For every piece featured on this blog, I am going to personally thank every single artist and writer.
I'm going to create a special post for each one with a synopsis of my history with them, as well as a line to their work, and if I can get it, where they are now.
I think this blog need a quiet death, so once I've given all the creators their due, I'll try to fade it into obscurity before deleting it completely.
Once again, not sad.
It's time for me to move on, and a step of that is letting this project go. My feelings toward the crew of DP haven't changed. I still love the show, I still rever Steve Marmel's ability to shape a show, I celebrate Guy Moons slappin score, and I still respect the imagination and tenacity or Butch Hartman.
And I still very much love my first fandom.
I'll see you guys next Friday.
