I don't expect the news media to pay me for my press releases or for filming me... and I wouldn't really expect a documentary-style show to pay me either. That would cause problems with overall integrity. In this case, I can easily imagine the uberfans (of any franchise) being accused of overplaying their fandom because they were being paid.

I agree here, fans are just that. Fans. It's cool that our stories are going to be told and we should be happy about that. Once fans start demanding money for doing that kind of stuff, than I'll agree with actors charging autograph fees at conventions. It's not always about the money.

I love Anime Cons, because the guest who go to those don't charge, but if you got a comic con it's now $20 an autograph... is the actor there to see the people who support the films, shows, or comics they do? Or are they there just for another buck?

I understand actors being paid to do their acting job, it's a real job. But fans being paid for a one time shot to share their real story? Na Though... Totally Obsessed didn't really share a real story. Hehe

Can one safely do that without having the pants sued off of them?

Or. I had an idea that could be possible. (So watch me get flames and banned from this place for suggesting this)

But, maybe, uh, Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman can somehow fake a kidnapping or plane crash deep in the mountains of themselves. It will be all over the news about the famous missing comic book creators, and when all hope is lost, they are miraculously found! Can you imagine the amount of free exposure, and attention a story of this magnitude could generate?

But, ah, forget it. I watch too much Law & Order and CSI!

Darn it, that just might work! Get some spin doctors on it.

Uh yeah... that might be, you know, the sane option.

You know many fans that are considered "obsessed" have some form of autism , that's part of who they are and I think it's totally unfair to judge them for their "illness".

*Now don't start jumping to conclusions , just cause *some* fans have it doesn't mean EVERY single fan is the same*

It appears there is another one up for sale: TurtleComm

Oops! Hehe ^_^; thank you.

I'd be interested in a documentary thing...but to be truthful, planes scare the hell out of me.

*Buslady* · 05-17-2007, 07:25 PM

no autism here, try ADD-ish behavior.

I have obsessive compulsive dissorder and I'm hardly crazy either.

I found that person comments more insulting than any comments I've made before.

**Jester** · 05-17-2007, 07:41 PM

we all know most obsessive fans only suffer from one malady: Virginity!
