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: Just click to join the group, and you're in!

To submit artwork/fanfiction: If uploading a new piece, the option will be there to submit it to the club at the same time. To submit an existing piece, go to your deviation, click Collect, and drop it into the club!

If you have any questions, please contact ~FirefuryAmahira.

May Featured Clubs

- Not just a place to show off your DP fan work, this group also organizes roleplaying sessions for members with a hefty emphasis on getting fan characters out there and into the action. They accept virtually all types of fanwork, and you can get more info by paying their group a visit!

- A fairly new group with a mission: put the spotlight on fanworks that may not be very well known yet. There are plenty of well-known fanartists and fanfic authors out there, but there's plenty of awesome stuff done by folks who just aren't as visible as the big name fans. Like our other featured club, they take all kinds of work; they're still fairly small right now, but maybe you can help fix that?

News and Announcements
May 7th, 2012
February/March Contest- Winners announced!
I know, I know. "About freakin' time!" Better late than never, and at any rate this contest turned into a case of "everyone wins!" With only 4 entries, and a 3-way tie for second place, all four entrants get the prize! Congrats to ~Kvalificatsia for the first place win, and to ~brandy212, ~FaberCrisis, and ~nurmuzdalifah for their shared second place finish!

April Contest - Deadline closing in!  
April Fools has come and gone, but that doesn't mean ghostly pranking has to end with the April/May contest theme: Fools. Maybe Danny pulls a fast one on Vlad? Or Lancer pranks his students? Perhaps the residents of the Ghost Zone like to prank one another? Due to the late announcement, the deadline has been nudged back to April 20th. You can submit a contest entry by posting a comment or sending a note with a link to your contest entry. (And some line like "Here's my entry!" so I know why you're posting a link! )

The deadline in May 15th, and at the moment the field is completely wide open!

Club Gallery Reorganization  
The folders are made! In the future, please try to make sure new submissions are submitted to the correct folder. It's not the end of the world if it's not, but it makes updating the gallery easier if you do. Now all that remains is sorting the club's 5,000+ gallery submissions into the new folder setup!
