10 Reasons Why I Love Fanpop in All It's Fanpoppy (ha!) Glory

Okay, so I am sitting here with my broken toe, trying to finish off a book, and I think, "God. Fanpop is just insanely awesome." I mean, big surprise, why would I be a part of something I don't like? But I am honestly so bored that I am going to make a list of ten reasons why I love this place (in no order of importance).
Buy your food and drinks right now, ladies and gentlemen, there will be no intermission.

1. The picks. The picks, the picks, the picks! As some people may know, I am an avid pick maker/answerer, and I just love them! Whoever thought up that gem of an idea, nice. Just awesome.

2. The fans! I, surprisingly enough, have only been annoyed by about one person on this entire site! That is amazing, okay? I am a totally outspoken person and no one has really called me on my opinions. Everybody just seems to respect everybody else on here, and that is just awesome.

3. The Fanpoppies. hooch-is-crazy's brainchild, The Fanpoppies were just so much fun. If you have not joined that spot, do it now. It is amazing. And who doesn't love the word "Fanpoppy?"

4. The support. From comments to props to becoming a fan of someone, there are just so many ways to support others on this site! It makes me feel like we are a big happy (if not incredibly dysfunctional) family here on Fanpop.

5. The idea in general. The idea of Fanpop is insanely amazing. I love the idea of being able to come on here and just talk about my favorite TV shows and not seem totally insane! (Because my friends don't watch a lot of the stuff I do so they think I'm mental when I quote it 24/7.)

6. The united Smurf hatred. Whether you are a Smurf hater or not, this just cracks me up. Some of the comment left in regards towards Smurfs (dazl) just make me laugh so hard.

7. The soapbox articles! These give the fans a way to express their feelings about something, make and announcement, or just find an outlet for boredom (like I am right now). Plus, I love reading them and there are some darn creative people out here on this lovely site.

8. The lack of ads. Sure, there are some ads when you go to watch videos and stuff, and at the top, but other than that, Fanpop is pretty much ad-free. I love that Fanpop has not sold out, like some other sites (coughmyspacecough).

9. The videos! I get to catch up with some of my favorite TV shows because of you guys! I actually first discovered this site because I was searching for some Office episodes, so there you go.

10. The icons. All the icons you submit are hilarious. Actually, my wallpaper is currently made of them. (I know, I have much too much free time.) Those things make me laugh so hard sometimes.

Well, anyway, as I sit here with my broken toe, trying to finish a book, I can't help but open up my computer and log onto my favorite site, Fanpop.

I love it here.

It's like you read my mind!! =D I love all these things you say, I also love that here you have everything you might imagine like videos, photos, forums, links about every show you love and you can add things as well so that others might enjoy it too!!! I love picks so much and I love the prop system because it's really good to be rewarded and appreciated by the things you submit/make!!!!

And who doesn't love some Smurf hatred?? I mean an entire blue community with only one girl, what's not to hate?

Anyway, great soapbox and I hope I'm not the person who annoyed you!!!

Oh and sorry about your broken toe, that sucks!

Bravo! I love Fanpop too, it's pretty much the most ingenious website ever. It gives fanboys and fangirls a way to gush without annoying the oh-so "normal" people in their lives. And most importantly, it provides endless hours of entertainment. Your time on fanpop is what you make it!

Those normal people think they're so great.....

Well, they'll think twice when we become the majority...

Wait, that would make us normal!

We'd have to shun ourselves!

Oh the confusion!

We're so glad you and your broken toe are part of our Fanpop family jamfan4! What would we be without opinions like yours! It's definitely comforting to be able to come to a place where people can appreciate your fanaticism and not just want to strap you up and put you a room with padded walls. :)
