Welcome to Danny Phantom: Real Fans!


Welcome to one of the largest Danny Phanton fan communities on DeviantArt! Our goals are simple- enjoy the show, and play nice with everyone else. The fandom is one giant sandbox, so we might as well share it since we're all in it anyway.

The club encourages active membership, with monthly contests, various challenges, a gallery for members to share their work and promote it, and the most comprehensive listing of Danny Phantom clubs on DeviantArt!

To Join: Comment or send a note to the club asking to join!

To submit artwork/fanfiction: Send a note with a link to the submission.

If you have any questions, please drop us a line, or contact ~FirefuryAmahira directly.

And remember! DON'T PIECES IN THE CLUB GALLERY! All gallery submissions have a link back to the original artist's posting. Go and the original! It's unfair for the club to rack up s when it's our wonderful members who have done all the hard work. So give some credit where it's due- to the original artists or writers!

April Featured Clubs
- The most recent affiliate to DPRF, Timekeepers is the ONLY club on DevArt dedicated solely to the infamous Master of Time, Clockwork. Given how popular a character he is, you would think there'd be more than one club!
- One of the clubs that helped out on the Holiday Poster Project, this is a club dedicated to one of the two most popular pairings in the show. The show's finale hasn't stopped these fans from steadfastly shipping Danny and Valerie as their one true pairing!

MAY CONTEST - Voting Opens!
Okay, so it's technically the 17th already, but I haven't gone to bed yet, so I count it as mostly on time! A fourth entry slipped in under the wire, so we're going ahead with the contest voting! Remember, first place gets a DevArt subscription, so choose wisely!

Remember to give me the name of the artist you're voting for when you comment or note me your choices!

June Contest - Theme Announced!
So school is out (or will be soon!), which means the time for summer fun and relaxation is at hand! The theme this month is meant to be wacky, silly, and generally fun. So bust out the geeky internet junkie within, and get creative with DP and memes!

Collaborative Fanbook Project - ONE MONTH TO DEADLINE!
Here's the details about the summer fanbook project! A month remains to get your entries emailed in for the book! So far we've got three entries confirmed, though I do rather hope that we get at least a few more by deadline, you procrastinators, you.

Contests and events
May Contest
Voting Deadline: May 31, 2008
Contest theme: Opposite
SPONSORED BY: =dannypfan

Contest Prizes
First Place: 3 month DevArt subscription courtesy of =dannypfan
Top Three: Featured in club journal for a month.

That's right, club member =dannypfan has offered to cover a 3 month subscription for May's contest winner! Since she's effectively sponsoring this month's contest, she got to choose the contest theme. In her own words: "By that I mean that the goodguys from DP turn bad and the badguys turn good. But no Grim Danny from CF or Plant Sam from UJ or King Tuck from KT. Something new evil for those. And I haven't personally seen any badguys turn good, so no things to that."

So maybe Vlad turns over a new leaf, or Dash starts being nice. Maybe Tucker flips out and beats Technus at his own game? Good is evil this month, and evil is good! What would somebody be like if they had landed on the other side of the fence in being good or bad?

June Contest
Entry Deadline: June 15, 2008
Contest theme: Memes

Contest Prizes
Top Three: Featured in club journal for a month

This month we're getting silly, with a somewhat off the wall contest theme. Memes. You know, those silly art memes you sometimes get tagged with? Journal quiz thingies you get tagged to do? Random weirdness spawned from the depths of 4chan or elsewhere on the Net? Rickrolls, Hamster Dance, All Your Base, and so on? The challenge is to connect the DP crew to memes. Be it Tucker Rickrolling Technus, or perhaps a Cujo Dance? Maybe Vlad making Jack waste hours by sending him the link to The Big Red Button? Art memes found on DevArt are fair game, too!

A word of caution however: Please, none of the more obscene memes that you can find on 4chan or Encyclopedia Dramatica. Be mindful of that PG-13 rule.

NONE YET
