User blog:XTinkerBellx/How to Get Involved in the Barbie Movies Fandom

Want to get involved in the Barbie movies fandom, but...

You are you too shy?
I am shy myself, but you can meet some wonderful fans if you go and socialise. When I joined Fanpop, I was worried I wouldn't make any friends, but now I have 158 fans on there. Before Fanpop, I went on a Barbie movies forum that is now sadly closed, but I am involved in the fandom now by having a YouTube channel, and I edit this wiki so people can be updated about Barbie movies and get information.

You don't know how?

 * 1) Talk to other fans. There are lots of fans on Facebook, Tumblr, here and on Fanpop.
 * 2) Make a fansite. You can do this easily on blogging websites like Wordpress, Blogspot and Tumblr. You could post things like updates and your opinions and thoughts on Barbie movies. Examples of Barbie movie fansites are Barbie Doll Movies and Barbie Universe.
 * 3) Do you know Barbie movie fans offline? Why not have a viewing party? You can make snacks and then sit together and watch your favourite Barbie movies. You could have an online viewing party too if you liveblog and livestream a movie!
 * 4) Create fanart. You can post it on DeviantArt, Fanpop or a blogging website. However, do not steal people's fanart. Always ask for permission to repost fanart, and always give credit.
 * 5) Write your own stories. Also known as fanfiction, you can post these on FanFiction.net, Wattpad, Fanpop, blogging websites, and AO3.
 * 6) Dress up! It's almost halloween now and you could dress as a Barbie character. If you are small enough, you could fit into an official costume, but you could make your own cosplay. This can be a group project if you do it with a friend, like how these two friends dressed as Queen Erika and Princess Anneliese!
 * 7) Create OC's. These are original characters. You can post these on the Barbie movies fanon wiki.
 * 8) Make videos. You can post them on YouTube and other video hosting websites. Your videos could be AMV's, which are animated music videos. Know a song that you think would be perfect for a Barbie movie, character or couple? You could make a music video for them!
