Challenge #14

In your own space, create your own fandom challenge.

This is a really fun one!! After a bit of consideration, I decided to, once again, use a challenge to try to push my own, personal agenda. This time, turning more people to the indie web! So, my self-imposed challenge was to create a reclist of modern indie web fansites! Going in no particular order...

• It's Not Stupid, It's Advanced! - an Invader Zim fansite featuring episode transcripts, the history of the show, adoptables and more
• Monkie Business - a LEGO Monkie Kid fansite featuring fan analysis, a gallery of crew art, a fanlisting and more
• CANDYPOP GARDEN - a Pikmin fansite featuring merch, fanart, downloads and more
• Moonlight Promise - a Sailor Moon fansite featuring a fortune-telling page, fandom resources, a webring and more
• Klance is Canon King - a Klance (Voltron) fansite featuring all K/L crew art, fandom history, an essay on the subject of the show's queerbaiting, and more
• Inkposting - a Splatoon fansite featuring pixel adoptables, the webmaster's Inkopolis Square art, a "which idol are you" quiz, and more
• Soulsilvers - a Pokemon fansite (mostly focused on the Kantrio characters - Red, Green and Blue) featuring a fanart gallery and lots of information on their portrayals in various Pokemon media
• Dan and Phil GAMES Fansite - a Dan and Phil fansite (mostly focused on their joint gaming channel) featuring calendar and card scans, the chronology and characters of their Sims 4 series, the channel's yearly traditions, and more
• GEKIYAKU - a Hatoful Boyfriend fansite featuring theories, a timeline of all events, a guide to all supplemental media, and more

If any of these sound interesting to you, check them out! And if you like what you see, and see a link for a "guestbook", consider "signing" it with some nice words to the webmaster! I'm sure it'd make their day!

These are great! A couple of my fandoms have those fandom.com wikis (of varying levels of quality), but only one has a lovingly curated fansite, and it's such a difference.

Oooh, how cool! I love blogrolls, and I find the indie-web an awesome part of the internet. I'll checkout some of these fansites, thanks for sharing!

Checked out both the Invader Zim and Klance websites.

Nickelodeon has kind of always been the masters of whiffing it, huh? Definitely won’t stop them from trying to profit off of Invader Zim despite flubbing it hard, though—’tis the Nickelodeon way.

I heard about how “Voltron: Legendary Defender” had a bury your gays moment regarding a character they introduced and then promptly killed off, but I had no idea about all the stuff surrounding the Klance ship and the shitshow behind the cartoon. Jesus Christ.

Thank you!

I am delighted to see someone supporting the indie web! I am actively looking for individual fansites. None of these sound like my kind of fandom, but I will boost the signal for my audience.

these were so cool to check out! had to send the LEGO Monkie Kid one to my friend as soon as I saw it.

Oh this is awesome. I never would have had any idea these sites existed if you hadn't linked them!

If you wanna view a big amount of old-web type stuff, the Petz fanbase has a directory of fansites with an on-site search function.

The Invader Sim site is EASILY the coolest thing I've ever seen!! I can tell right off the bat how much love and care you put into it, and I'm eyeing that Pikmin one next!! 👀 Thanks so much for sharing these!! :D (I'll do my best not to spam the guestbooks 🤭)

That's an excellent list, and I'm glad you could find some good fansites to link to. None of them are any of my fandoms, but it's still heartening to see people are creating fansites out there.

Being mostly in old fandoms, it's the old fansites I know. So many of them have vanished over the years! Others have been archived. There are still a few active ones out there, though.
