User blog:TheFazDude/A Special Message To Each And Every One Of You

Hi everyone.

This is a speech I've been meaning to write for a very long time. I never got around to it before now, but I feel now, a week after I got "The End" badge, is the perfect time to convey this message.

I just wanted to say that I'm just so happy to be part of this amazing community. The Five Nights at Freddy's fandom often gets a bad rap for many reasons, but you guys are an example of how great our community can be. I think the main reason why we're an awesome community is because of how dedicated we are to this game. Some of us make art, others make SFMs, and yet others make their own fangames. However, all of us have one thing in common: we all love this series. Sure, people can call out the "fanboys" of the series, but you can't deny the fanboys are passionate about this series.

One can ask: "Why are people so passionate about FNaF anyway?" I'd probably respond with "The lore." The FNaF series' lore draws in people, and that's part of the reason why the FNaF community is so great. In order to solve the rich lore of FNaF, we've dug into the game, looked for clues, and got way more out of the series than we would have by just playing the game. The lore has brought many people together, and that's why the FNaF community is so great and big.

On that note, I want to stress one point: '''We're not just people. '''We're artists, game designers, filmmakers, authors, theorists, engineers, and so much more. Every community has its "dark side", but even the people who make not-so-appropiate stuff can be considered artists and filmmakers, no matter how cringy their content is.

Let's bring this all back to FNaF Fanon. What I said above still rings true for us. By making our content, we're pouring our heart and soul into creating something inspired by a love of Five Nights at Freddy's. It doesn't matter if a page is good or bad: it was made by someone who loves this series and wanted to create their own ideas for it. We, as a community, have created a great wiki filled with great content, and I'm proud of each and every one of you.

I'd like to wrap this all up with a quote from the late, great Mr. Rogers: "I like you just the way you are."

Stay freaky, everyone. Always.
