Introduce self. Hello, I'm  I've been around the Grapevine (and fandom as a whole) since late summer of 2016. My sisters were playing with a bunch of online worlds and stumbled across School of Dragons. They found they could get more gems if they invited friends, so they roped me in. I thought it was neat enough, and then when I heard the soundtracks  Some of the info I learned in the quests seemed cool too, so Singey did some research and found that it was based off a movie, and the rest is history. (That history being, Singey joined the Grapevine, I made some fan vids and wanted to share them with other fans, Singey was like, "Make an account yourself. I don't wanna share 'em all!" And so I'm here, and I don't imagine that I'll ever leave. XD) As for mentioning buddies—well, y'all can be prepared for a bunch of tags if I know you elsewhere on social media.

March 1-3: Introduce yourself, tell how you became part of the fandom, and list some buddies you met through it. Well, I don't think I really need to introduce myself here; if you want an introduction, you can read the one in my first-ever post to this community. As for how I got into the fandom: I was very late to the Dragons scene. I really only started getting into the fandom a couple of months (I think) before Race to the Edge Season 5 came out. Now I'd heard of How to Train Your Dragon, but never paid it much mind at all, and knew literally nothing about it. What first caught my attention was the soundtrack. I love exciting, orchestral music (always have), so you can imagine what I thought about John Powell's trio (or actually duo, at the time) of materpieces! Having no idea what they were from, I asked my oldest brother (who shares similar taste in music) what his phone was playing. (We were travelling somewhere in his vehicle, and he was using Pandora.) He checked, and told me it was a piece of the HTTYD/2 (I don't remember which) soundtrack, by John Powell. Well, my interest was piqued! I've always had a fascination with dragons, and anything with a soundtrack that great had to be good! I eventually watched the first film, and fell completely in love with it! The characters, the places, the adorable-yet-deadly winged kitten with black scales... every aspect captured my heart and imagination, and holds them to this day. I started browsing HTTYD fanfiction on FanFiction.net, too, though I don't remember whether that was before or after I first watched it. I discovered the second movie, then the TV series. I joined Berk's Grapevine and The Night Fury's Den, and found Berk's Dragons (though I've never done anything there, and it appears it's been 3 years since there's been any activity at all). Being unable to get enough of the Berkian world and enjoying videogames, I joined School of Dragons. All this, and I've never looked back once. Dragons Forever!  Some great people I've met through my hopelessly-deep standing in the fandom are (in no particular order and not including members of this community): Blackberry Avar and Cke1st, both great authors of HTTYD fanfiction; Flittlocke Ingerman, a wonderfully uplifting person, and a great artist; and Tim "Hello Future Me" Hickson, a writer, worldbuilder, video essayist, and excellent fan theorist (although he sadly has stepped away from that entirely  ) with a cool New Zealand accent.Also, this thread could stand to be given "Announcement" status... Maybe I should do that. |

Over whelmed: Too many fandoms. How am I even alive?

Introduction: Hello, I'm Ocean Rose I got into Dragon's back in 2014 around Christmas/New Years. I had been searching for a movie to watch and stumbled upon HTTYD1. I had to of watched that movie every day, sometimes multiple times a day, for at least a month. Then I was finally able to watch the second movie, and became even crazier about it. By March, I was binging Riders and Defenders of Berk as well. It was a hard time in my life, and the characters, especially Hiccup and Astrid, helped me through it. Eventually, I stumbled upon here, not long before the first season of RTTE premiered, but (majorly due to my shyness) it took me literal years to finally join the forum (2016) and even longer to join the Dragon Chat (2018). And those were probably some of the best decisions of my life, leading me to meet my best friends, and its all thanks to a wonderful and amazing movie that I stumbled upon years ago. |
