Fandom Heresy

[magicofthepiper]

Oh boy, apparently you're not true fan of The Violinist of Hameln unless you bawl about how bad the TV series was on your Tumblr. Well, I'll probably just have to force myself to stay far away from that fandom on Tumblr, from now on. I'll still add VoH stuff to my personal blog every now and then but hopefully, I won't need interact with the fandom

Hello!
I was doing an LJ search, trying to work out what Zuko Violinist of Hameln was (still don't know) and this entry came up.

However, I wanted to stop by and say they I loved the anime. I love it more than the manga. don't get me wrong, the manga is good too, but something about the anime and how it ended really touched me, whereas the manga sorta ended exactly as I expected it too.

So you are not the only VoH fan who doesn't hate the anime :D

Oh, thank you very much for your supporting words. I've met a few other people who also don't hate the anime but we tend to be more hushed then the "haters". I didn't realize how bad the negativity was until Tumblr. My initial defense is to just ignore hate but I do really love this series.

I've been thinking, hiding away hasn't really help me emotionally so I am thinking about attempting the 30 day Voh challenge, but I'll just have to brace myself for the potential negativity. To know that there is one more fan out there gives me a little bit more confidence. Thank you ^-^

A 30 day VoH challenge would be fun, and hey anything you post I'll like! Who are you on tumblr? My fandom blog is ani_bester and my art blog is katiecrenshaw :D

The haters are insanely vocal and I just, I got on the bad side of a few to the point that I had to leave the fandom so a while :/ So I get kinda hanging back!

Oh, I'm so sorry about the late reply! My fandom tumblr has the same name as here, magicofthepiper , and I've been posting the challenge on my side-blog mymurmuringmuse . I've fallen behind on it and I'm trying to find the time to catch back up.

I know a few people that are trying to make the fandom more open but I think they get tired of the negativity and fall silent as well. Kashaun on Tumblr is the one I've seen to be the most active recently. Can ask of you to send them an ask to say, "hi, I like both versions of VoH"? I'm sure knowing there's another fan who enjoys both will brighten their day :)
