pronkerFandom manifesto - explain why people should join your fandom, where to find the media, some recs to get people started.
Oh boy,foisting explaining! Here goes:
My main fandom is Penguins of Madagascar animated series on Nickelodeon/Nicktoon, the spinoff from the Madagascar movie series that began in 2005. If you enjoy Dreamworks' masterful animation style, this show is for you. The writers enjoy playing with zoo animals' varying sizes, which must have challenged the animators and writers - for instance, how to enable a 1-foot tall *or thereabouts, the penguins' species is, um, unspecified* penguin to immobilize a 2-ton menacing elephant in the name of duty. Amazing fanart continues to pour forth from Korea, Japan and Russia in the main.
Now, it's a small, cozy fandom with 749 stories on AO3 and 3.1K tales on fanfiction.net. I like this; I'm good with cozy. Fanart (both original and humanized versions) abounds on pixiv, a Japanese site and 16.9K fanarts on deviantArt. Then there's tumblr and twitter ...
The characters skirt the realm of surreal cartoon action, and then dive right in. Humans such as Zookeeper Alice mistrust the chaos surrounding her charges, while the dolphin Villain, Dr. Blowhole, schemes to control the world, beginning with its oceans, so you can see there's a crying need for an elite team of commando penguins to save us all ... and make us laugh, too. Here are some recs for authors:
NPI on fanfiction.net crafts unique tales in the Penguins of Madagascar universe. Currently, Inverse Alchemy sources Dire Straits' famous album from 1978 to write stories based on each of its songs. I'm stunned at the creativity explored in each anthologized fic, as the author states, "unrelated, random and even contradictory" one-shots.
Priorities by Snark-N-Moon explores the popular Kowalski/Rico pairing along with the Skilene (Skipper/Marlene) match up. It's an adventurous romance/humor story that utilizes the main characters along with the supporting characters in the zoo.
TVTropes recs
Fanart:
Just-Pauline on tumblr for fine drawings and
a stupendous year-long art blog for 2022 called 1morteveryday by the-bus-called-graveyard-8. Just completed, adorable mouse lemur Mort receives a starring role.
In conclusion, I hope you stop on by the fandom for short or for long. There's even a movie, Penguins of Madagascar (notice the omitted 'The') featuring globe-spanning action, marvelous animation and a memorable Bavarian rump-slapping dance, the Schuhplattler as performed by penguins. Yes.
