Fangirls Make Great Videos! 

Think of it as the artistic expression of a "squee"...

"Vidding" is truly a talent- if you doubt that, watch some of the bad ones! If you've never checked out the music videos on YouTube you're really missing something- here are a few I really like.

Supernatural Music Video - Bad Company


I Want You to Want Me Supernatural Video

What did we do before DVDs?? 

Because we want to watch over and over again!

The 4400 - The Complete First Season

You'll be totally hooked, I promise.

Supernatural - The Complete First Season

Hot guys and spooky mysteries- who can resist??

Battlestar Galactica - Season One

Go back to the beginning!

Veronica Mars - The Complete First Season

Yeah, it looks like a "high school show", and I'm a little embarrassed to publicly admit that I'm a fan- but the characterization and dialogue are so brilliant I'm completely addicted. A guilty pleasure for any age! (Plus icing on the cake, most of the cast is incredibly hot...)

Read and Write Fanfiction! 

Fangirls are well-known for throwing themselves headlong into their fandom by utilizing its setting and characters in their own stories. This is known as Fan Fiction or Fanfic, and many very talented writers engage in its creation. Unfortunately, many painfully untalented writers do the same. Women and girls are thought to write as much as 98% of fan fiction - it's truly a "Fangirl thing"!

Some of these are just new stories about the same people. Others incorporate new characters created by the fanfic author. Many involve "shipping", putting two characters in a relationship that might or might not be canon, and a large percentage are "slash"- a term derived from the "/" slash mark between the names of two characters the writer is putting in a non-traditional relationship, such as "Kirk/Spock". Slash fiction is adult-themed and often very sexually explicit.

Below, some of the top fandoms in the world of fan fiction, according to Google and Fanfiction.net, the world's largest fanfiction archive.
  1. Harry Potter- HP fanfic is currently blowing all others completely out of the water. On fanfiction.net there are 263,000 Harry Potter fictions available- more than 200,000 more than its closest runner-up. A Google search for "Fan Fiction" and "Harry Potter" turned up 6.97 million results.
  2. Lord of the Rings- this one scores high on fanfiction.net, with 38,000 stories in the database. The Google search came up with 2.44 million results, about the same as several others.
  3. Buffy the Vampire Slayer- 30,000 pieces on fanfiction.net, 2.6 million Google results.
  4. Star Wars- 16,500 stories on fanfic.net and 7.4 million results on Google.
  5. Stargate- 13,500 in the fanfic.net listing, and 2.35 million Google results.

Own the Stuff 

He touched this! She touched this! Who wore this?? Squeee!

A true fangirl has a passionate drive to connect with show on a level greater than simply watching, discussing, blogging, etc. From autographed photos to show props to clothes worn by the stars, the internet holds a wealth of treasures every Fangirl yearns to own.

Writing on the wall 

Are you a fangirl/boy too?

Love this lens. I like Smallville too but Veronica Mars is my favourite. I hope Veronica Mars isn't cancelled.

I found your lens because I am a Hiro (from Heroes) fangirl. Well, not really because I haven't written any fan fiction yet, but I made a Hiro lens. :)
One thing I've learned from your lens that I don't want to read any Kirk/Spock fan fiction!!
