With all the positive replies for the provocative stuff I posted yesterday, I wanted to give you a cheaper way to show support for the idea that fandom is possible without getting blinded than burn things!
Here is a little DA stamp I made for those who want to show support without wasting lighter gas
Fandom is nice. I have my fandoms too. Sometimes there is just a show you like more than others for no objective reason. That's the mystery of art. That is perfect.
But what is bad is becomming so obsessed with an unique fandom that you forget anything else. How many artists have lost their creativity thanks to fan art? How many viewers are missing great new shows before they watch a same episode 16 times? And even worse, too much fandom is repulsive for other people, and in the end, you won't be able to share your passion for a show with one another because you'll scare him. Stop fandom abuse. Be reasonable and responsible fans. It'll be good both for you and your favorite show's reputation.
Also, I'm sorry for all reasonible Naruto fans, but Naruto definitely ist the best symbol of a show that generates such fandom, hence its presence on the stamp. But I think it is also a proof of the idea I am defending : overfans end up making a show despicable even if it is good and we can like it in a very normal way.

Nice stamp and interesting message. I for one enjoy Naruto, but I realize that's not what this is about. I do agree that some people take things... a little too far. I've had things I was really interested in killed by fandom before. For instance, in Naruto Gaara was one of my favorite characters... and then the fan base killed my interest. That's just one of many examples I could give.
Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More

I draw wings because I believe people have the power to fly. I draw them on half-naked girls because I believe I'm a pervert.
