More Activity?

Oooh, that's a wonderful idea. And again, getting involved in something like that (depending on what type of member I am) it could look good on my resume, lmfao. I don't normally get involved in these types of things just because I don't want to spend so much of my life on someone else when I know I could use that power to build myself up (I hope that makes sense???) but if it can benefit my future in someway, why not kill two birds with one stone and support us both?

Aaah, I'm glad. I didn't want to sound like... conceited somehow or something. 

I think it would be awesome to affiliate with other forums, honestly. It could really help us build an audience and create an even stronger fandom solidarity. 

I was super involved with FFVII but that for me was different in a sense? I've always loved music but for me I don't want to end up making my life revolve another individual to make them great, I want to make myself great, too, ya know? Like, do I make sense? I think there comes a time when fans need to remember that they're amazing people too that deserve every bit of their own support for themselves because they're worth it. 

Right, I totally understand what you mean ~ That's basically how I feel about it.  

I'm definitely on board with the art book thing, that sounds like it could be amazing ;___; I used to draw all the time but then I nearly 100% stopped once I graduated high school and I've always wanted to truly get back into it because I loooove creating. 

I think it'd be cool if we all did, kind of a club fair, but for groups, you know. I'm a hardcore playgirl so I know a lot about the group, and I've quickly fallen for seventeen, but I don't know much about them predebut, as for Nuest, I don't know them at all. As ashamed as I am to say it, I didn't even know Nuest was Pledis or that they existed until recently, but seeing everyone's enthusiasm for the group, I want to learn about them.

I think we all want to support Pledis as a whole, because we know that the best way to ensure a comeback for our favorite group, is to support the groups that they are currently promoting. And while we may be willing to watch an MV a couple of times, if you don't know the group then your not going to be super inclined to spend your money on their albums or stream all of their performances. Because, you usually don't stan a group for music alone. For example, I like Sistar's music (sorry to all the Sistar fans), but I'm not particularly dedicated to the members, so you won't see me going out of my way to support them of find all of their live stages. Music definitely has a part, but it's also the concepts, how they perform, and of course the members.

If there's one thing I've learned through this experience it that even if you don't know them very well, Pledis idols are amazing, I'm sure that once you learn about them you'll fall in love. So if we want people to me more active both on the forum and in general support, the way to go might be introducing everyone to the groups they aren't super familiar with. And if we did something kind of like an official club fair, where each fandom presents their group coming from the position of a fan, it might not be as daunting as trying to learn about a new group all on your own with no point of reference.

I don't know what exactly it would look, but I think It'd be great if we all could learn more about the Pledis groups we might not be familiar with, I know I'd love to learn about Nuest.

You're an artist too, yeah? It kinda seems like Seventeen, being the newest is like the middle area for those who know AS and those who know Nu'est so it's kindof fun in that we're learning about them together. If we put an art book together or something, we seem to have a pretty wide range of skills from each group interest. One of the things about Pledis that drives me batty is the near total lack of fan-swag. We kindof have to make it ourselves or do the advertising for them. Guh. 

Anyway, yeah I look forward to Learning All the Things. I can't promise I'll wind up going hard for AS, but I DO like what I see and their talent is undeniable. At any rate, Group Club Fair sounds great to me. I might need a couple weeks to recover from pledisweek but I'll be up for it soon.  

(and yes. Nu'est. Pull up a chair and I shall spin you a tale. I've got their backs fo' lyfe. Honestly, "Face" hooked me hard, "Action" kept me entertained, but "Goodbye Bye" set me in stone.)
