What Flare said, VV! I for one am really glad you're here - seeing your fresh enthusiasm is reminding me...

With years of experience behind me, I knew there was only one place to turn when I found myself yet again overly obsessed with something - something that no one else in my real world seemed to care much about - and that place was, of course, the Internet!

I've watched the board grow from a few "OMG, that film was so amazing" fans to a true community, a family. Through the Vixens, I've met some of the most amazing people I've ever known, and made some lasting friendships. ...

And, of course, there was the Gathering in London, November 2007, complete with some of us standing outside Parliament on the night of November the 4th as Big Ben counted slowly to twelve, ushering in Guy Fawkes Day.

I've observed the board slowly change. Unlike other online groups of which I've been a part, once we moved past V a bit, many of us realized we shared other interests as well, and the many threads of the Gallery reflect that.

And I've seen the Vixens slowly drift apart, as Real Life imposed its will on us and as interest in the film that united us gradually waned.

But there is life here yet. "Blessed" is not a word I use easily, but I do feel blessed to have been a part of the Vendetta Vixens. Our enthusiasm outlasted my expectations, the board is still going (however quietly), and there are friends here I will never let go, if I have any say in the matter.

I suppose it's only natural to wax nostalgic as we come up on the anniversaries of V4V and the Vendetta Vixens... Thank you for indulging me.

Again, welcome! And please do not feel at all shy about resurrecting any old thread that strikes your fancy. Mayhap you can teach us Vixen veterans a thing or two!

You should now have access to the "Members Only" threads, so be sure to check out some of our photography from London and whatnot!

PS - And if you haven't, go see Watchmen! Like V4V before it, it is likely the best film adaptation that could have been made from one of Alan Moore's graphic novels.

And I've been thrilled to see it's often very intelligent discussion. (as well as some earthier stuff ahem).

there had to be a hefty collection of V-fanfic on the net.

I've read about that gathering, and some of the other with more than a twinge of sadness, again for not 'giving in' sooner;

I feel I'm the one being indulged! And happy V4V anniversary to all, it is nearly here! Might be a bit of a quiet party... ;)

So far I keep mum for the most part, except for this thread, assuming that whatever I might bring up is already here, somewhere...

I am making progress though and am really enjoying reading your conversations.

Thanks for that, I'd PMed Leta who thought it was all set up also but I couldn't get in. I recognized it as a place members shared more personal info so I thought maybe it wasn't really kosher to let someone new in, but I will certainly enjoy seeing London pics!

Watchmen! Yikes! Did it! I was a bit more prepared for that one. I loved it, and am going to see it again (and again).

Actually I was wondering if one of your group would start a new forum topic for that movie and scare some people out of the woodwork...

Sorry about quoting so much and posting such a big blah-blah reply, but, well, the traffic is light, so...

Dear Voracious,

It's never too late to start hanging around here. *snip*

I think the real reason this board has such cohesiveness is that deep down there must be some things we all share in common, not just a love of the film, although that's a big part of it. The film, IMHO, is a touchstone for our somewhat eccentric natures.
So I've devised a little psychological profile that seems to fit a lot of us.

You know you're a Vixen if:
1. You have more books than months you've been alive.

---

quote:

---

2. You've actually read most of those books

---

quote:

---

3. You have a fondness for basic black.

---

quote:

---

4. Fantasy is not a dirty word to you.

---

quote:

---

5. You actually care about politics.

---

quote:

---

6. You actually care about ethics.

---

quote:

---

7. You have a fondness for raspy-voiced leading men. (Add one point if the actor is British. Add 10 points if he wears a mask.)

---

quote:

---

8. You feel that dreams are as important as "Real Life."

---

quote:

---

9. You feel that music is a necessary as food.

---

quote:

---

10. You feel that one can never have too many hats or boots.

---

quote:

---

So how'd you score?

I, like Voracious, feel like I'm a bit late. Heh. But, better late then never, right?

You seem like a very vivacious bunch of people ;).
