Dannylove Forums: Introduction
(If you'd like to skip this intro of what Dannylove is all about, you can go ahead and skip to the main Forum Rules of Conduct below.)



we are a gathering of Danny Phantom’s most dedicated young female admirers who feel they are truly in love with Danny and would like nothing more than to draw, write, talk and laugh together about this very special boy in an environment completely free of the harrassment, scandal and violence known to be a part of the DP fan-base.

This forum community focuses on spreading a message of love and respect for Danny and each other, and to be honest and open in embracing him as a welcome resident in our hearts and as an influence in our lives to dream and to create and to make Danny (and his creator, Mr. Butch Hartman) proud of how we can be our very own heroines to accomplish anything in our lives.





we are NOT some prestigious, elite clique who think we’re higher or better than other fans of DP who try to prove our virtue by judging others, nor are we trying to become some “almighty leader” of any fellowship.

Here is a place to give you peace and freedom among the fan-base, and in doing this we will never, ever allow any sort of flaming or boasting about what a “true” fan you think you are. We'll use our past experiences and knowledge to help one another to not be bothered by the horrible parts of the fan-base created by just as horrible people. We don't believe in condemning anyone for any reason, no matter what their actions or attitude, as long as it is not harmful to the spirit and wellbeing of each other.




our mission is to answer Danny Phantom fangirls’ S.O.S. for a safe place to express ourselves and our love for Danny in a comfortable haven where it’s okay to let your guard down and let him carry you away. Dannylove is unlike any other Danny Phantom forum in the way that our goal is to separate fangirls from everyone else in the fan-base by showcasing our creativity and love instead of a knowledge of big words for rants and flame-wars.

These girls are possibly Danny's most innocent, brightest, vulnerable, and often victimized fans who can easily (and very often do) get mixed up in the wrong crowd telling them how they should – or should not – love Danny.

I believe we fangirls have it so difficult because we don’t have a place just for us – where we can be open and honest about our (totally normal) feelings for Danny without having to censor ourselves out of fear of being ridiculed or harassed and eventually feeling that we’re the bad people. There's nothing wrong with you, girl, you're just in love! I will make sure you know that and get that self-respect back.


Dannylove is also proud to support the message of respecting Butch Hartman's wishes by not allowing any slash or mature/sexual material on this site. (Please see the Main Rules of Conduct below for more information.) A major goal of ours is to show Mr. Hartman that he still has fans with unconditional love, respect and thank-you for bringing us our Danny- it's the least we can do.

The kind of disrespect often shown towards Mr. Hartman, and towards fans who honestly do not wish to take part in any actions or artworks that will offend him/them in any way (without judging others' actions in the meantime), is a growing problem in the fan-base and will never, ever be present here. As stated previously, Dannylove stands for love for one another, and its job to separate fangirls into a safe place away from danger is of utmost importance.


We'll protect you, cherish you and make you know you're cherishable- I bet like Danny himself would want to make you feel as long as he knows you genuinely love him as your very own hero, too.





-------------------------------------





MAIN RULES OF CONDUCT:
These rules apply to EVERY forum and subforum on Dannylove. Read carefully.


1. Have fun. (yes, this IS a rule!)





2. Respect one another. NO harassment of any type will be tolerated-- no personal insults or derogatory statements related to sex/race/religions/etc. Flaming, spamming, name-calling, or other offensive personal attacks on board members is NOT ALLOWED.




3. Love Danny. Though a fitting place for a big 'DUH', this requires a little further explanation: DannyxSam shipping talk and artwork is forbidden here.
This may be upsetting to some, but a relief to others: a lot of fangirls are extremely sensitive to talk of DannyxSam coupling; chiefly due to brainwashing from the harsher DP fans who tend to drill the message into girls' minds that they are stupid or immature to love Danny so intensely as if he were a real person, and that he would "never, ever" love them or anyone else but Sam (which is stupid and immature in and of itself, considering DxS "coupling" is only within the show and not in real life).

These messages could not be further from the truth, and Dannylove fights against them in the way we want to empower our young women to be open and confident with their emotions, thoughts and dreams of romance, and inspiration to create.
Take a look at yourself and if you're sure you feel Danny's your #1 crush or possibly the love of your life, then you're in!

A NOTE TO FANGIRLS WHO HEAVILY SUPPORT/SHIP DannyxSam, DannyxValerie, etc.: You are no less of a fangirl in my book, but I highly recommend you do not join Dannylove. This forum was specially designed for the girls who often think of Danny as their own "boyfriend", and they're his girl. Constant, obsessive artwork and conversations about couples on the show such as DannyxSam may make the other members extremely uncomfortable and start disagreements, and disrupt the mood of the fangirls' comfort zone.

To try to understand this: try, as a female fan of Danny who loves drawing and/or writing DxS or DxV fanfiction, to ask any girl about their boyfriend or dream guy, and they will tell you they wouldn't feel right about pushing the guy they love with another girl and doting over how cute they would be as a couple-- the kind of fangirls at Dannylove will definetly tell you the same. We want to keep this area as these girls' dreamland and comfort zone, where Danny's all theirs and them being all his, and happily expressing themselves with no couple-shipping to hinder them.







4. This is NOT a porn forum. Speaking of the 'loving Danny' part: Dannylove was made for us to express ourselves and let our imaginations run wild, but obscene, tasteless, or vulgar discussion of any kind will not be permitted.
Stories and art should be no more than PG rated, please. Thanks.

Mr. Hartman's feelings on fan-works that not just he, but more sensitive fans may find offensive, are very important, but this rule was made to focus on the safety of our girls.
We know you girls are awesome, talented, and full of imagination and of very strong romantic feelings that are fun to put on paper, but not everyone will cherish those strong feelings like you do -- chances are that some people from darker parts of the fan-base who draw more extreme things, too, will use yours to their advantage to do you harm and cast you into a category of fans that you really, really would not want to be in.

It's okay to say you don't want to be a part of those crowds. You certainly can embrace your imagination going wild, and still be pretty modest about it at the same time. You'll also be free of anyone saying that you support any actions some fans may make that a lot of people (especially Butch) may find offensive. This is all about you and your love, and your keeping that love untainted and unthreatened by any trouble that this rule will definetly keep you out of.


[It's also all right if you don't agree with this rule. If you already do draw Danny fanart that doesn't go with Dannylove's rules, that's okay too. You are no less of a fangirl, and you are not a bad person! Just this forum may not be the place for you. It's your decision whether you want to be with us or not.]







5. No slash. We respect Butch Hartman's wishes. Slash artwork and discussion is forbidden on Dannylove forums out of respect for Butch Hartman's feelings on the subject.




6. Something wrong? Tell us. If you have an issue with any member of the staff, if you're having trouble with one of the members on this board, or if you notice any suspicious behavior, please PM me or one of the moderators immediately with your complaint and we'll take care of it.




Moderators reserve the right to close or remove threads we deem unacceptable or offensive. We reserve the right to delete any message or thread from the forums for any reason without the consent of the author.






I would lastly like to thank Danny's creator, Butch Hartman. Mr. Hartman, you are not only a great personal influence on my (and many others', as you may one day see here!) art life but you're a wonderfully talented, creative man, and you are much beloved by all of your most loyal girls. Thank you so much for bringing a very beloved story hero to the world.







Love,
The Dannylove Forums Team
