Danny Phantom Online Community

What's this? Why does this concept seem so strangely familiar? Perhaps because we're taking a good idea and making it even better! DPOC... more specifically, me, on behalf of DPOC, is organizing a fandom-wide holiday poster (and storybook, if we get enough written submissions!) project to send to Butch Hartman.

The best part? It doesn't matter if you are or aren't a member of any of the involved forums or clubs. All you have to do is send in your submission, and it's in the poster! If you own a forum or club and want to be in on the project, send an email letting me know!

Involved Clubs/sites/communities:
Danny Phantom Online Community
El foro del Señor Hartman
DP-RealFans (DA)
THE Danny Phantom Club (DA)
The Anti-Anti-Sam-Club (DA)
The-Grey-Ghost Club (DA)
Phanfiction Club (DA)
Hartman's Heroes (DA)
Jack Fenton Fanclub (DA)
Feri Fanclub (DA)
Phantom Animals Club (DA)

Entry requirements:
-Out of respect for the recipient's wishes, no slash submissions for the poster, please.
-Since it's a winter holiday poster/book, please keep your entries to that theme- Thanksgiving, winter, Christmas, New Years, etc!
-Minimum image size: 1000 x 1000. Remember, these are going to be printed, and the higher the image resolution, the better it'll look on paper!
-Literary submissions need to be no more than 1 page long in 12pt Times New Roman font. (Note that if we get enough written submissions to make a separate holiday book, the limit will be raised to 5 pages.)
-Don't forget to sign your work!
-Accepted file formats: .gif, .jpg, .png, .psd, .bmp, .txt., .doc, .rtf
-Email your submissions to poster@dannyphantomonline.com

Submission deadline: December 5 (So that there's enough time to compile and print the poster and put together the book!)

FAQ
So what kind of submissions are you looking for?
Artwork and short stories involving any of Butch Hartman's work. Obviously we're promoting the project primarily to Danny Phantom fans, but fans of Fairly Odd Parents are also welcome to submit work!

How many times can we enter?
For the sake of fairness, one entry per person. But you can collaborate with other artists and writers as well. And writers, if you want to get enough literature submissions to do the storybook as well as the poster, we recommend pairing up with fanartists to do an illustration to go with your story!

What about my original work that's inspired by Butch's stuff?
While it's cool that he's been an inspiration to you, this project is to celebrate his work, so let's keep it to DP and FOP characters, kay?

Shoot, that's awesome.

I'll have to get to a scanner and clean something up for this.

P.S. Is a personal message to Butch possible with a submission? I'd like to, if that's possible.

Asatira · **Posted:** Thu Oct 18, 2007 11:02 pm

Cool idea. Definately interested. Should be able to come up with something in time. Razz

You can definitely put a short message on your submission Smile

But remember that in theory there are going to be a LOT of entries on this poster, so it may be better to just aim for a visual impact rather than a wordy impact Wink

hey... um... why isn't the DPOF in this?

Firefury Amahira · **Posted:** Sat Nov 10, 2007 11:53 pm

Well, I've contacted Roadrunner over on DPOF about getting them in on it, but haven't heard a reply yet. She said she would try and help get the word out.

I would contact Zcat directly, but... ah... She has some issues with me and the DPRF club. Because we allow slash fanworks. That and she never responded the last time I tried to contact her about a "Save Danny!" idea.

ghostwriter56 · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2007 10:50 pm

Hey, since I'm the "Project Queen" at DPOF I'll be glad to help you guys out! Though I know if Zcat knew I was here she'd pop a blood vessle, oh tough cookies.

I think it's time for this fan/anti-fan thing to be put aside and ALL fans group together to help save this show!

As far as I'm concerned we all need to work together and I'm willing to help anyone who wants it!

slifertheskydragon · **Posted:** Mon Nov 12, 2007 11:30 pm

yeah... it is a "holdiay" theme poster... uh what do they say...

put aside all our differences and enjoy the holiday cheer

or something to that effect.

Indeed, it's long past time for people to get over the true/anti stuff! Smile

Good to have you on board- I'm pretty sure I'll come running for advice if DPO and DPRF continue to try and run projects like this- mostly geared toward bringing fans together, but if sending an extra copy to the studio exec's is also an option... mwahahaha, let's do it! Very Happy

KnitChick · **Posted:** Tue Nov 13, 2007 8:55 am

Yeah we can take a cue from the ghosts and have a holiday truce Wink

Glad to have ya on board GW!

The verdict is in:

zcat is still unhappy with you guys and said no.

>_>;;

I think a problem was that someone jumped the shark and posted the project on the DPOF a little too hastily.

anything involving the DPRF and DPOC is going to be frowned upon..remember? Both allow slash to be posted and that makes all of us sick people even though not all of us are into that. In fact, I'm pretty sure Fury herself doesn't support slash. She just wanted to make a community where everyone could feel welcome and not be afraid to post...:/

KnitChick · **Posted:** Sat Nov 17, 2007 7:39 am

Yeah. I mean, I am really not a fan of slash at all. I respect that some people like it, but just don't show it to me and I'll be a happy camper. (though the idea that people make slash pairings out of kid's cartoons boggles my mind)

Personally I think Z's reaction was a lot nastier than it needed to be, and it really makes me *less* interested in hanging out on that forum.

Firefury Amahira · **Posted:** Sat Nov 17, 2007 9:44 pm

Well, let's not derail the project thread too much discussing things we have no control over. If Zcat's unhappy, she's unhappy. She'll just have to cope, because whether she likes it or not, this project is going to happen.

Asatira · **Posted:** Sat Nov 17, 2007 10:26 pm

I'm pretty casual in the fandom and don't know who this Zcat person is. So I don't care. I'm just concerned that the deadline is coming up and I haven't started yet. *needs to get the lead out and get started*

Kismet · Moderator

And I'm concerned that I haven't even voiced that I'm going to do something! o.o

I'm thinking poem. Or mini-fic. But because of the limits and my long-windedness, I might just go with tiny comic.

Asatira · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2007 8:40 pm

I'm definitely doing some art. Something wintery.

Firefury Amahira · **Posted:** Tue Nov 20, 2007 9:24 pm

I'm going to do a poem about how I got hooked on the show XD

It was Thanksgiving weekend, two-thousand-five
Full up on turkey and unwilling to drive...

katzklaw · **Posted:** Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:20 pm

so. where do we submit our masterpieces when we're done with them?

(yeah, that means i actually did a Christmas-themed art! *gasp!*)

Very Happy

Kismet · Moderator

.... I got a perfect idea last night.

It'd be better if I could draw it the way I saw it, but I'm not that good.

Danny's ice powers put to good use ^_~
