Agreed. Sadly, the roleplay forums are not that active (I, personally, love roleplaying) and the fanfictions seem to be going the same way (again, big reader/writer of fanfics), but perhaps it's just a slow time.

Perhaps. Although there is great potential at this point in time, actually, compared to some of the other fandoms I belong to. HTTYD is active (as in, new stuff is being created and aired right now) which usually means a greater pool of fans to choose from then, say, if nothing new has come out in 5 years.
Roleplay and fanfiction can be fun (I've never been the biggest participator, but I know people love it) and I also like good, ol' fashioned robust discussion as well.

Agreed. Discussion is always good-I've never been able to read meanings very well-to me, a story's a story. But when you talk with other people, I notice stuff like that a lot more.

I like discussing meanings. But it's a mix to me. Discussing the story, and also it's implications, I guess. On the surface, there's Astrid kissing Hiccup. But when you look at it more closely, along with all of their other interactions, you begin to get this picture of the relationship between Hiccup and Astrid and where they are in the world around them. And I like seeing that. Stories are awesome. ______________ If I may ask a few questions, I heard a few people talking about a livestream. I also found this website: www.berksgrapevine.com/Can anyone expand on these sorts of things for me?

Myself, I don't know a lot, but icelandiceel is one of the creators of this site and used to be an active member in this forum, but now he posts news there. He also entered in contact with some people that were/are involved with HTTYD, GoTNF, RoB and the sequel. The livestream usually takes place at this adress : www.livestream.com/cfdragonsSorry, but I don't know a lot more, toothless11, shade, sunny or anyone that's been here longer than me should be able to better clarify

Ah. Many thanks. I'm trying to get really as involved as I can, and as such I'm on a quest for knowledge.
Being obsessive... pretty easy. Being obsessive and productive about it, now that takes work.

Yup. Especially when people make themselves so hard to get hold of. You know, I just had an idea...what if, instead of sending them a bunch of small letters/emails/whatever, we send them one big one, with everyone contributing to it? It would be more likely to get noticed by them, and it would already have the backing of a group of fans, so it would be more likely to be put out there for discussion if they knew that the fans (some of them) already liked it. Plus, it would save them server space.

This is true. Well, I would like to send my big, personal e-mail to some special people personally, but that would indeed be a good idea. Send them a giant care package of our combined letters (maybe some fan-creations too).
Gotta make that topic... gotta make that topic...

Indeed.
And, it might even up the activity on here, if we had, say, some sort of contest for the "cover image" and other things. I am thinking way too much...

in reply to your questions about Berks grapevine and the livestream, I'm not too sure about anything involving the livestream as it was started arous the time I took a large break and I've never attended one... also there's not really much more to say about the grapevine! sthefano has pretty much covered it! although the members who run that site no longer participate here, they still are pretty active over on tumblr! and from what I can see there's a pretty active fanbase for the movie over there in general. (for example there's even a few ask blogs!) maybe we could try advertising the forum over there??

Berk- Oh, good. Experience always helps! @sunny- We most definitely could!

This is true... I think maybe I'll spend winter vacation trying to figure out how the Tumblr works. I've never quite... figured it out, yeah.
