I almost said this on yet another Twilight pick in yet another irrelevant spot, but I felt that the user would feel targeted, when really this isn't about that individual user, it's about the Twilight fans in general.
I have heard from some Twilight fans (note: I said "fans" and not "fanatics" and in this case, there is a very large difference) that they are actually afraid to go into the Twilight Spot anymore because of all the enthusiastic Twilight fanatics. Now that's OK. Fans (or fanatics) of any topic can be as crazy as they want within the confines of their own spot. House, One Tree Hill, Gossip Girl-- fans of these spots are all known to get a little rowdy, and that's fine. Especially as most of the time, they stay within their designated spots.
Unfortunately, for some reason, Twilight Hysteria is so overly abundant, it's spilling out of its own club and into every other one on Fanpop. I see Twilight picks in Books to Read, Creative Outlet, Writing, Fanpop Users-- Pretty much everywhere. And while I think it's great that the fans all have such great enthusiasm for their fandom, I would very much appreciate it if the Twilight talk stayed in the Twilight spot. That's what it's there for, after all! And when a spot has too much excitement for one place, people make sub-clubs. Twilight has more sub-clubs than any other fandom, I bet, a lot of them are even repeated spots that diligent users are constantly trying to keep track of and report.
So basically, this is a request, of Twilight fanatics, and the Fanpop community at large. Please post content in the appropriate spot. It's true that I stumble across miscategorized content that has nothing to do with Twilight, so this is also for them. Not everyone is a fan of what you're a fan of, no matter how popular it is. But do you know where you can find people who ARE a fan of it? In its designated spot!
The sporadic "mixed-fandom" question may be tolerated. For example, posting a "Which series has the best vampires?" pick in the Vampires Club and including Twlight as an option. (By the way, please search that before you get the idea to create that question. I think it already exists. I'm just using it here as an example.) An example of an inappropriate question in the Vampires Club is "Team Jacob or Team Edward?!?!" (And by the way, there are link asking that question already, so please don't make that pick question either.) Just because the Vampire Club is for vampire fans doesn't necessarily mean that they are fans of Twilight. So Twilight-specific questions should remain in the Twilight spot.
As far as links, videos, and images go, cross-overs of course (like cross-fandom picks) are OK. For example, my favorite is the link link in the Buffy Spot. Book reviews, critiques, etc. of Twilight are also acceptable but only in the Books to Read Spot, and that is the only exception that comes to mind.
Is this clear? I'm actually impressed that I said this rationally and without losing my temper, because this has seriously been bugging me, guys. You know who you are. Be as enthusiastic about Twilight as you want, but please, keep it to its own spot(s). Thank you.
