Castlevania Fanclub

Journal Entry: Thu May 1, 2008, 4:44 PM
Welcome all to the Castlevania Fanclub here on DA! This club is dedicated to every aspect of the popular classic gaming series, Castlevania. If you're an oldschool or newschool fan of the game series, then this is the place for you!

May 1st:Small Updates and a Request
Updated the members list. I understand a few people may have been skipped when I was updating the list last update, so if you don't see yourself, please just send us another note. We get forgetful.

Now, I have an appeal of you, the members.

It seems we're not getting the kind of turnout with contests like I would have hoped. Given our numbers now, and the now new ranking system, I would have expected to have seen more entries in the last contest. Remember, entering helps the chance of you increasing your rank.

Now I ask you, the members, what do you want to see for this fanclub? What would make you want to participate more? I realize Castlevania isn't as popular as say Kingdom Hearts or Naruto or other series whose fanclubs boast high numbers, but I'd still like to see some love for the series - especially with the possibility of two new games coming out within the next year or so.

So, comments? Critiques? Donations? Pity? :<

Hmmmm.... well to get more members, could we network with other video game clubs? I know a lot of people who like the Castlevania games and say, enjoy the Devil May Cry ones too.

My problem for the contest this time is just that I'm not that into doing rooms/scenery. I vote more character- and monster-oriented contests, since that's what most of us arty types like to do, anyway. -_^

Hmm..I'm really not meaning to sound pushy or anything, but one thing that I think may help with contest turnouts, is to maybe send a mass-note to all the members, detailing the contest and guidelines? I know from experience how busy life can get, and though I always make time to check DA, I don't always check the journals of all the people and clubs that I watch or am in. But if I see a private note there by my messages, it seems too important to overlook, see it kinda *pops* and catches more attention! ^_^ Just a suggestion guys<3

What I would like to see of this fanclub is more (MUCH MORE) of an effort to seek out and showcase (read: favorite) fanarts of the BEASTLY MONSTERS!!! in the games, instead of just the heroes, the humanoid enemies (Drac & Suckybus), and the wussyfaces that've been the leads in the last 327 SotNs.

Hell, investigate my own favorites; I've come across oodles of overlooked CV-beastie AWESOMENESS.

Also, Charlotte is FRIKKIN' HOT. Yay.

Yep, notes to all the members about contests would help a lot. The Lodoss War club does that and it really helps us forgetful people... ^_^

My excuse is that life eats me sometimes...
