It's been 6 months eversince I/We running our fansite (I refused to say it a fanbase cause fanbase is a lot heavier.. I like fansite more. Cause I only needed to update our site whenever we have time, while fanbase it takes more time like more real time info cause it is on twitter). I started with a thoughts 'How bout running a fansite for him as Indonesian fans' when he was about to come to Jakarta in November 3rd.. I am won't lie I was kind of pissed cause the green supported light things. I just love red as our main color. Beside it won't differentiate their fans (like you know green is JJ's, purple/blue is YC's and Pink is JS's). Like all red.. They doesn't need to know who has the most supporter and the fact that C-Jes selling red lightstick is showing what color he wants us to be. Okay it is never ending dispute. Cause we refused each other ideas.
I gather the groups by people in my timeline who willing to work together to make it happens. And tbh ALL of us is blind with the fansite things :P. Since there are JYJ fans only Fanbase/Fansite in Indonesia, so I want us to be the OT5 site. It doesn't mean we should do something with the blog with our OT5 feels (like 'hell ya. We are ot5. non OT5 go away.' No. I don't want that). I need someone who are OT5 and it is okay to be a shipper or not, as long as she doesn't share hate in this newly fansite. I told them what I want, because my self is a shipper and ot5. It shouldn't bugging our works in the fansite. like fansite is fansite. we need to be neutral there. and you are free outside of it. All I ask is we only focus on updating his news there, and only him.
And yet we got some hurtful rumors that 100% a slander from JYJ fans only. It is started when one of the fans asking is whether us shipping any pairing or not. And I surely said 'We don't against any shipping things with anyone.' and the next scene is us to be called as the one who selling yunjae tshirt that they have been working on reporting as spam that days. Since they are too coordinate and thick head or simply refuse to know the truth, the slander become wider and wider. Some starting talking non-appropiate words and mention us. and I ofc cannot stay still, it's been 2 week but we already come to this obstacle. I got stressed. To be honest, I never felt that hurted by them before 'the attack'. Like when people saying bad about them I kind of not siding to any side. but eversince that, I become more sceptical with them. Feels like you entering to the new school and then people started to hostile us before we tried our best. Then my friend who happened to run OT5 fanbase told me 'Why don't you try to promote this fansite to other OT5 fanbase in indonesia' and with her help I started look for a company (?). and after a while (like a week) they started to ignore us so we are in peace (still with wrong judgement tho) and I also tried to ignore hurtful comments. I am not saying what I did is the right move, but it was in my view :p (thick headed me).
We also make a huge red banner at his fanmeet :D ah there is another story about this. It won't makeit if everybody around me not supporting me :D I just send my application to hang a banner later in the venue just for an experiment without thinking they would accept it without the others knows bout it. then a few days later ta da.. they announce that my banner is accepted. I was just like O_O 'What I need to do now with no money. but it is a waste if I just let it pass.' I just barely bought the ticket (it was the cheapest). Then the others started asking me did I send it or How we make it LOL. After that we start discussing about the funds. We able to cover it for a small banner. but then someone said 'how bout we ask people to donate to our banner?' then I was like 'Eii.. Who gonna donate us..'. but I still try it tho :D and with the help from some people, we able to make bigger banner and even has some money left, so we decided to make some idcard for let people know our fansite. :D and some A3 poster for the donatur (not all of them tho and I felt sorry bout it T^T). It was memorable time :D
And now we are 6 months already... We are still a small groups tho :D we started with 4 members and adding 3 more people in few month so we are in total 7 person.
Each of us responsible for one day. At the beginning it was too much for us. You know He got active end of 2012 until early 2013. So we kind of helping the person who updating in friday-sunday. In those time I become aware how many fansite across the world who took his pic in airport and concert... esp the one in shanghai. the pics seriously A LOT LOT LOT. I only sucess gather like 500 pics but it is only 1/3 in total. Damn this powerful fanbases :D We also started with how awkward we are to trans the news with bahasa LOL... It is just weird. and somewhat helps me with my vocabulary.
I started to know TVXQ in late 2008. and got active in 2009 (as a fan) before my english seriously a worrisome. In my 3rd year in Junior hight i have been told that I can be not graduated because of my english. It was that bad. My english test never got decent score. Until now I still cannot write in tenses. all you can see my english totally fail in tenses. Still poor.. But at least because of this fandom my english improved, not in tenses but keep adding my vocabulary. at least I can talk with someone in twitter with non-my-mom-language :D
Lastly... I hope we will running this site for as long as we can and not let them died halfway~ let's work hard :D
You must be bored reading this right? :P
and don't ask me what did I said above. I don't think about it, all I know is typing and typing. :D
and please tolerated my fail english..
If you don't know what I am talking bout. then let it go... because I don't plan to introduce it. But i think you would know if you are my friends :D
Lessons:
1. We cannot run from troubles and face it calmly (trying to understand others) as the time passed.
2. Managed a fansite/fanbase is not that easy but not that hard too. We have to commited. In the same time we need to live our life.
3. Be brave and do not think too much for deciding something that you think it would be great.
