Why Can't I Stop Visiting the C.A.T. Spot?

posted by laureng114

Ever since its Последнее creation I have not been able to stop visiting this spot (Not that it's a problem...haha). I decided to sit down and ponder and from my pondering came this list.

1. Everybody rates EVERYTHING.
I mean EVERYTHING. Nothing goes unrated and everyone always rates fairly.

2. The Форумы are always buzzing.
I absolutely Любовь visiting the forums. Someone is always there looking to chat and the Комментарии are sure to put a smile on my face.

3. I can have intelligent and enjoyable conversations
I don't feel like I talk to someone and all they have to say is, "OMG Ты Любовь (insert some fandom here) too?!! We should like totally be best friends. Isn't (insert actor/actress name here) so HOT!?!?!"

4. The content is always quality. Always.
I check out almost everything on this spot. Links, videos, images, Ты name it. I am never disappointed and I have a hard time not putting it all in my favorites!

5. No one worries about getting a medal.
No one uploads a million Иконки или adds Видео just for the purpose of getting those shiny medals. Yes, I know, they are nice but they aren't something anyone here worries about. All of the content added is added so that other Котята may enjoy it, not for them to get a medal.

6. It's not the Twilight Spot, haha
I'll be honest. The Twilight spot scares me a little bit. With the CAT spot I have somewhere to go to get away from all of the craziness. Oh, and I don't have to read about how Edward Cullen is sooooo dreammyyy every other sentence.

7. The Котята are Kind
As cheesy as this may sound, everyone here is just so nice! I would like to think that I have made some Друзья on this spot. I feel like I have finally branched out on Fanpop and have begun to enjoy all it has to offer.

8. Twilight Фан или not, Ты are welcome
Like Twilight? Dislike Twilight? It doesn’t matter. There is no discrimination или hatred toward either group. I was worried when this spot was started that there might be some fights but that is no longer a concern. In my opinion this is one of the most peaceful spots on Fanpop.

I’m sure that I am forgetting еще of my reasons. When they finally decide to pop into my brain, I will Редактировать the Статья and add them. Thanks Kittens!

spikes_girl I agree with everything on this list! Especially the part about everyone being so friendly :) I've never been a part of a spot that really feels as welcoming as this one.

Dearheart Oh gosh, I got so many warm fuzzy feelings from reading this, it's ridiculous. XDD I had NO idea when I first made this spot that it would grow so fast or work out so well. All of you kittens are so wonderful; thanks for making the CAT what it is. <3 I think one of the reasons why this spot is so active and friendly is because it's a good mixture of fan and fandom, so to speak. It's not so much about the Twilight phenomenon as it is about the people behind it; it's about connecting and listening to each other and having fun. The CAT's not quite a fandom spot, and it's not quite a fanpop-centered spot, either...it's a blend of both, and that makes it special and unique from most other spots. That's just me thinking out loud, though. XD Anywho...you're awesomesauce, Laureng114. Thanks for this great soapbox; it's brightened my day. Er, night. =D

Myf_1992 Evryone is so nice, I agree! And I love the CAT HQ and all its madness, I'd like to think I've made friends. And I love this spot coz nobody truly care about twilight, I mean yer some of the fans can be irratating, but most of the time its all just a laugh. Nothing is overly serious here, so you feel like you can relax and go "aaaahhhhhhhh"(that was my attempt at a sigh). As spikes_girl says, its a very welcoming spot. so kutos to dearheart (momcat).

laureng114 Haha- momcat, I like that. Thanks for the comments guys :)

Myf_1992 Well I thought, seeing as she made this spot, and I've always seen her as a kinda loving auntie figure bcoz of her icon and coz well shes lovely, i thought momcat was befitting of her. plus there was this whole joke in HQ coz some kittens were getting high off catnip (caugh not me caugh) and i found a lolcat pic which said "momcat found your stash", and came up with dearheart as our momcat. you probably didnt need to know that...but its a kinda fun story.

The Twilight Saga as a Subconscious Retelling of a Family Drama: The Real Story

posted by songwave

Note: It’s important for me to communicate that I don’t know the Автор of Twilight или her family personally and I do not intend them any insult; this Статья is purely academic speculation inspired by a story which will remain a timeless work of art. It is the emotional accessibility of the work which makes commentary such as this possible. I may be projecting the whole thing… But that’s exactly why Twilight is so successful, because it invites us so welcomingly into the story!

Every Фан knows the story of the Twilight Saga.
There are many theories as to what makes the story such a pop-culture...

Bye Twilight. It was fun while it lasted.

posted by AliceHaleCullen

Soo, I read Twilight in 2005 and seriously thought it was the best thing I'd ever read, and never thought I'd read anything better. How young and stupidly naive I was!

When I first bought it, it was treasured, as were New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn & all the money wasting merchandise I purchased to. But over the past 2 years, I've seen the Фан base grow and grow and GROW into something that is just pretty hectic and down right ridiculous.

I personally feel sorry for the cast, especially Robert Pattinson. Poor guy, can't even walk out his front door without being mobbed. There's such thing...

Six Избранное Twilight Characters

posted by OCFan123

Disclaimer: The Название of the Статья may seem to be a bit strange, as most of my Статьи that I have Опубликовано on here are usually issues I have with the Twilight Saga, but I decided that myself as an anti, wanted to write about things I actually do like about the series. Guarantee, I actually do think Stephanie Meyer did create some characters in this series, and I just wanted to Список my вверх 8. This will be in no particular order.

If hypothetically, I were to meet the Cullen, I would think that Jasper would be the only one I probably be remotely afraid of in any sort of way. Or...

The Twilight Saga: The Plot Holes That Never Were

posted by cassie-1-2-3

I’ve read many lists pointing out Twilight “Plot Holes”, but еще often than not, the lists aren’t very valid at all. Half of them are usually just complaints, pointing out something they don’t like about Twilight (Example:” Why would Вампиры go to high school?”, или “Why does Bella have so many friends?”). The rest are just factually incorrect, или can be logically theorized. These are usually followed by “Stephenie Meyer obviously ditched history class”, или “Hasn’t Stephenie ever heard of logic?”, или my personal favorite, “I would know, I had a lesson about it...

12 Ways to Annoy Crazed Obsessive Twilight Fangirls

posted by sapherequeen

*Most I made up, a few I admit I saw on a video but I stated these ways in my own words so it is therefore not plagiarism*

1) Tell a fangirl that you'll send her a T-shirt with rare pictures of Edward Cullen on the front and back in two days, make sure she gets extremely excited. When the two days go by, send her a T-shirt with pics of Hagrid from Harry Potter instead.

2) Tell the fangirls that all gay men sparkle.
3) Tell the fangirls that the Quielete Волколаки have major anger management issues if they turn into beasts when they got irritable...
4) Ask them for their Twilight merchandise,...

Why we Antis Любовь our Pro spot members

posted by Mermaid-Tail

I think this spot and the majority of it's members have worked to ensure that when we talk about things we dislike about the series it's things we feel strongly about или have an actual point to make, not just mindless hating and that when we poke fun we try to keep an eye on the line between fun mockery and plain rudeness, even though that line can be debatable или hard to see. Still, there are some cases when I can see Фаны feeling left out, singled out или wanting out completely, and I don't like that. Part of the problem is something us antis can't really help with, which is that not many...

Bella лебедь as a heroine should be illegal

posted by bendaimmortal

I'm just sayin' Bella is one of the worst role Модели ever when it comes to love, sex and life choices and should not have allowed to be published in any shape или form. I mean, when she's made the heroine of the story and marketted at teenage girls.

1. She's obsessively in Любовь with a control freak stalker.

Unfortunately it seems the vast majority of the Twilight fangirls are too with the very same freak.

2. She wants him so bad that she'll abandone everyone else she loves so that she could be with him. Even when it means she'll practically have to become a blood-drinking corpse.

Twilight Vs. Harry Potter: A Breakdown

posted by shieldmaiden

Credit: Very Demotivational

I felt a compelling need to write this Статья because recently I have found myself еще constantly thrust into situations and debates where I have to defend the Harry Potter fandom against the Twilight fandom, which I despise so much. My best friend and her family are actually major pro-Twilight fans. This past evening made me realize that there are so many reasons why Harry Potter is much еще awesome than Twilight, and its not just the obvious ones either. Thus, I give Ты all the evidence Ты will ever need to successfully pwn a Twilight Фан trying to bring your fandom down.

Obvious Reasons...

Are the accusations of Meyer 'stealing' plot ideas fair?

posted by Mermaid-Tail

OMG she totally украл, палантин that яблоко from Adam and Eve!!!

OMG she totally stole that apple from Adam and Eve!!!

The people on this spot who know me will be aware I'm an anti, but I think a part of using this spot fairly means me not only talking when I have something against Twilight, but also fessing up when I don't think Meyer/the books/actros/etc are in the wrong. I've heard a lot about how many of Meyer's plot points are too similar to those in other vampire/fantasy stories. Well, that's never the way it's put. It's usually closer to "she totally ripped off _____. That's a stolen idea!" and I wanted to talk about why I actually disagree with most of those accusations. I say 'most of' and not 'all...
