Fans - When it's too much?
Since a month, I've became a member of the Backstreet Boys Fan Club so I could buy better tickets, it worked, but this is not the point.

I've been looking throught (sp?) the forum there, and I've seen weird comments from other girls. Basically, most of them are more than 25 years old, like me (I'm 28). We grew up listening to them.

I think I am a good fan, I've loved them since I was 15. Never really went to the hotels to meet them, I just went to the concerts, but that's it. I've seen 14 concerts so far. Some people would think this is too much, but for me it's just normal.

I know some girls went very far to meet them, like going to New York, or any other place near Montreal (about 6-7 hours in car). Back then I remember, it was crazy what the girls would do to meet them before or after the shows, like having sex with the bodyguards or such. For me, that is too much.

And then I look on the forum on their site, and in the last 2 days I've read some crazy stuff. A girl wrote a story about her being pranked online. Some guy/girl, pretented to be Nick Carter and started chatting with her on a game site.

She said she practically dated ''him''...
But never saw him, spoke to him on the phone, recieved any picture. She believed ANYTHING the other person was telling her, and from there she believed she was dating him.

What the hell???
I don't know... Am I being too judgemental here?
Is it just me or this girl is VERY naive???
How can you even pretend to date someone you never SAW?
For me, again, THIS is too much.

I now see how celebs have to hide sometimes, there are freaky people out there, don't you think?

Do you know similar stories?

Re: Fans - When it's too much?
That's insane, beyond "too much".

It's one thing to be a fan, but when you act like these people are the second coming of The Lord, you really need to take a deep breath and realize they are just people. They live and die just like everybody else.

Re: Fans - When it's too much?
Exactly!

There's also a lot of ''fan fictions'' stories.
They write stories about them being in couple with the guys and such. Sometimes its SCARY

Re: Fans - When it's too much?
FYI I wrote her a message telling basically that she should take some time on her own without logging on any web sites for a while because it seems she takes this too seriously...

I wonder what will she answer to that

Re: Fans - When it's too much?
I've been through several fandoms and seen the different sorts of fans there is out there. Probably the fandoms which have THE scariest ones are those that are fans of boybands. Some of the things they do are THE most messed up stories I've ever heard.

Like there's this one band that I listen to (I wont mention which because I wouldn't want to spread bad publicity due to their fans) that have insane fans that purposefully crashed into the van they were in just so they could meet them! Then there are those that camp outside of their apartments just to see them. And of course those that go to the hotels and play with the elevators hoping to meet some of the boyband members. And the random groping in airports when they have to go through the crowd of fans.

And that's just the fans. We aren't even talking about the anti-fans. *shudder*

Lol I have a cousin that writes NSYNC fanfiction and it is ridiculous

Sometimes I wonder if she's putting me into her little crazy ass tales. It's gonna be fighting time if she does

Re: Fans - When it's too much?
Yeah those fan fictions...
I never had the courage to read one complete.
They scare me with all this imagination hahaha

I prefer to go the concert, appreciate it and that's it
No thinking about : What if I meet AJ on the street... will he propose?
