2014 BooksMoviesFandoms Blog In Review!

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2014 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 33,000 times in 2014. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 12 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

#VAFAMILY PLEASE READ:

Wouldn’t it be great to finally get to meet Adrian and Eddie?  That can only happen with a sequel.  The story just completely develops so much more in the (2nd book) sequel and begins to show the darker side of the series, so let’s make it happen!  Let’s give them a chance to try again.  Let us show support for those trying to give us the chance to get the #VAMOVIE Sequel: FROSTBITE.  Remember, the more united we are with our support, giving film-makers a second chance, the better this could actually be.   The only way any of this will happen, is with the support and understanding of the fans and VAmovie-makers. Period.

There are trends and ideas being set up through out the #VAfamily/#VAmovie fandoms.  Make sure to join in and become active again to show that they fandom is still thriving, strong and alive!  Let’s make it happen. (twitter.com/VAfandomUSA)

ACTIVE FANS NEEDED!

Nothing has been confirmed or guaranteed… yet, but according to that post above, chances are looking better.  It seems that the Vampire Academy fandom is being beckoned to become active on Facebook and Twitter again.  Producers are simply asking for the #VAmovie fandom ‘#VAfamily’, to show that they have not given up the fight for Frostbite to be adapted.

FAN VIEW:

Word about the possibility of ‘Frostbite’ has taken some time, fans have either waited patiently or grew anxious, but films always take a while when you are waiting for word about them.  The producers behind the VA movie have called upon fans once again to rally together and to get active for the sake of a sequel.  Some fans have shared their concerns and frustrations .

PRODUCERS VIEW:

But I can understand the perspective of producers too.  They have to see the proof that there will be enough support for the film before they can take the risk of making it happen, in order to put the manpower and funds behind the project. They want to make sure it will show more than little promise of turning a profit and will have a real chance at becoming a decent hit.

LEARNING FROM THE 1st #VAmovie:

The first film ‘Vampire Academy’ had a sub-par sales-outcome in the box office, causing a ripple effect with other distributors in other countries, who didn’t give the #VAmovie a chance to show in their theaters.  Many have shared their opinions on ‘WHY’ it didn’t do better: 

1. promotional trailers that didn’t convey #VA correctly.
2. the film didn’t capture the essence of the story correctly(too comical).
3. People didn’t give it a chance, because they thought it was a teeny-bopper vampire movie(trailers).
4. Then, there were the terrible reviews by what some have called ‘bitter-reviewers/critics’ who didn’t get a free screening of the film before release day, causing them to have to watch it with the general public.

🎥

A WORD FROM FANS: WE LOVE YOU BUT… HERE’S A LITTLE CREATIVE CRITICISM:

We’d love to see promo trailers show more of the true dark sides of the story from the start so potential audiences can get the true feel of the VA sequel: FROSTBITE. *Hint: Learn from the 1st film’s trailer mistakes.*
►►We loved these guys but… Maybe try a new screenwriter and/or director. (Like some of those creative minds behind ‘Arrow’ or ‘Agents Of Shield’)  -but don’t get us wrong, the screenwriter did a great job at keeping VA close to the story!  But, it might be better to start fresh. 🙂
►►►Find where the VAMovie fell short & learn from it.  Make the sequel (hoping for one) better, by strengthening the weak spots of its predecessor film. Please know that fans + movie-lovers will appreciate the action and dark moments as much as being drawn into the romance in the story.  And know that the VAfamily (Vampire Academy Fans) has your back & will support it! 🙂

 🎥

Now that it’s all been said and done.  Let’s try again.  That’s all any true fan can ask for and hope to see happen.  Learn from past mistakes, try again. Make it bigger and better this time around.
