Tyson Interviews The Beyblade Fanfiction Community~
What do you like and dislike about the fandom?

Thank you so much to those whom took part.
You're all amazing xXx

"So, tell me. What's your excuse on delaying this show? Is it because I recieve more attention than you do?"

The producer then rolled her eyes and pointed her moistened foundation brush into his face. "Watch your mouth or I will make you look cuter than Maxie." Ann playfully warned with a slight smile sneaking up onto her over tired face.

"Pft, Max isn't cuter than me." The arrogant host then leaned backwards to avoid the tool from touching him. "But no, seriously, what has taken you so long?"

Once she'd placed her foundation brush back into her make-up bag, the blonde gazed her chestnut brown eyes up to the champion and shrugged innocently. "A lot has happened over these past six months Tyson. I seriously don't have any spare time anymore." She replied before feeling her mobile phone vibrate within her arse pocket, it was her alarm clock.

It's time~

"Okay, first off. I must start by saying a huge thank you to everyone who has contributed towards this production. I know that it was a lot to ask for, but I really appreciate it." The Granger then held up the script cards into his face and read them briefly. "Now that that's done. Lets crack on with the show."

Tyson quickly paced himself over across the set to park his arse onto the comfortable arm chair that was provided for him. "Uh. I have missed this." He wriggled his eyebrows and hid behind his script cards - making the crowd laugh.

"Okay, so todays show is all about what you guys think of the Beyblade Fandom." Tyson lowered his cards to reveal his curious facial reaction, "So I am pretty excited about this show guys."

He briefly paused to re-read through the script cards. "Kicking off the variety of opinions is, Blade-Revolutions, aka, Harmonised." Tyson cleared his throat, "She said the following: I like the fact it still goes strong after many years and the fanart's increasing.I dislike that many awesome writers have disappeared throughout the years and the fact that the anime hasn't enough seasons (in my opinion)."

Nodding to show that he too agreed with the comments, Tyson then flicked through his script cards. "The next opinion is from, Astri.." He paused when he tried to pronounce the name. "Wow, how many i's are in this name? It's making my eyes go funny."

He laughed for a few seconds along with the audience.

"Okay, lets try that again shall we." Tyson sat up straight and squinted his eyes at the card, "Astriiiid says: Some stuff I like about the Beyblade fandom is that the community is just amazing, and there are like many people who share your interest of Beyblade. It's amazing, Beyblade's amazing. Something I don't really like in the Beyblade fandom is that sometimes others would go and start bashing others because of their opinions (like who someone ships), but fortunately this doesn't occur often."

Tyson re-read through the card and then finally reacted to the statement.

"People bash each other? Wooow." He gasped, "I hate to look like a 'know-it-all', abit like Hilary. But we wouldn't be human if we sometimes didn't clash with one another. Then again, I guess nobody deserves to be 'bashed.' Hmmm, it's a hard one. However, I'm just glad it doesn't happen very often."

Tyson swallowed his amusement and then playfully rolled his eyes. "Anyways, moving onwards, the next comment is from, Novaerogue, and they said this: Because it's a really small fandom, everyone is always really welcoming and I love to see new people coming into the fandom so that we have more people said that though, I kinda dislike that is so small because there's not as much content out there as there would be if it were as big as DBZ, Sailor Moon or My Hero Academia. But I mean, at least we don't get tons of fandom drama like others :)."

Slight pause~

"Yea, I really agree with this statement." The Dragoon wielder waved his card at the camera, "You guys involved in the fandom need to get more content made. I am loving the hilarious memes lately. "

Once that point had been chanelled to his audience, Tyson decided to shift onto his next script card. "Oh! I recognise this Fanfiction Author, she was on here not long ago. It's CRSWoodferns!"

The audience cheered as Tyson then pointed to her name on the script card.

"Haha, I have been here for so long that I actually recognise people." He then read out her opinion, "Now, she said this: The best thing about the beyblade fandom is the people involved :) Even though it's quite small, the creative ideas of the people in different genres is what makes it unique ^0^ To dislike, well… most authors (including myself :/) entirely focus only on a select few characters. There are so many, try writing and exploring!"

"Yea, you guys need to stop focusing on Kai."

Tyson cheekily smirked as the crowd 'ooh'd him.'

"Oh come on guys. You all know it's true." He argued, making them laugh even more. "Pft, I've seen a few of your drawings and fanfics. You're all literally drooling over the guy."

Once the little sulk had ended, Tyson read out the next opinion. "Aduah said: I like that it's still alive after all these years, and that even new people get involved into it! I passed almost 3 generations in this fandom, and everytime it's like coming back home! People are fun, they are talented, welcoming, with interesting headcanons and stories! We're from all over the world, of all ages, but we all love those spinning tops! However! If I have to pick [what I don't like]… when I went back this time, I kind of felt as if, if you didn't ship an hetero pair, then you were not worthy of being in the fandom. I don't know why, but there was this aura 'they no gay, they no'. Like some sort of beyblade fandom police or something."

He tilted his head and repeated the phrase, "Fandom police? Is that a thing? Who's in the Fandom Police then? And what the heck is a headcanon!?" Tyson didn't know where to put his face.

He's so out of the loop~

The host then returned his attention to his director, whom was standing beneath the stage with her hand rubbing across her chest. She almost looked as confident as the host himself when the spotlight fixed itself amongst her curvy figure.

Tyson questioned confidently, "What do you dislike and like about the community?" He relied on the fearless author to spice up the show by pushing a button or two.

"I love the community, Tyson. I have made so many friends over the years and it's boosted my confidence as an aritst." Responded Little A Granger with a wink, "I don't really dislike anything-"

"Oh don't you give me that." Tyson interrupted with his eyes widening, "You are talking *beep* SHIT *beep* there. So come on, stop lying to me, Ann."

A naughty chuckle then echoed within the room and Ann shamefully lowered her head. "You got me there dude." She confessed before thinking through her choice of words very carefully. (For once). She didn't want to step on anyones toes, but since everyone else is being honest, why not?

"I don't like how some people in the fandom demand for more attention, yet they do *beep* fuck *beep* all to support their peers. Seriously, the Beyblade fandom is very small, so we should all be standing together as a unit."

Tyson nodded proudly. "You sound like me when I am lecturing people about the true sport of Beyblade."

"D'you know what? I thought that as I was saying my little speech."

Tyson and Ann then laughed together briefly and the crowd then clapped to support the two Grangers as they then highfived eachother. But it wasn't long until Tyson returned his full attention back to the camera to fixate the spotlight back onto him.

"Okie dokie. My last comment is from Fyrua, a very talented artist who has been very supportive of this idea. She said: I think the fandom is pretty great. I haven't felt this welcome into a fandom ever. It feels like a small family."

"Aw, that family sounds more complicated than my own." Tyson wriggled his eyebrows and skimmed through the script cards, chucking the ones that he'd already read to avoid getting confused. "Oh! This opinion is my favourite. It's from Martyoshka: As I said many times the best thing in beyblade fandom are the people. (That's a real rarity to read this from someone like me! I am very VERY very introvert and shy, I tend to avoid people in general due to my experiences in other fandoms, but in this community I always feel appreciate and free to talk and enjoy this series with others! and that's beautiful!) Personally I've know only great people, so kind, polite, always ready to support you that's so rare in other fandoms these days…that's made Beyblade fandom the best fandom to me! And I am so grateful for all the amazing people here! And…I dont have other to say XD Beyblade fandom is just perfect like that to me! I cant find anything I dislike till now! XD"

The sound of an applause then briefly echoed within the room until the host raised his hands up to catch everyones attention. "I think that comment is an awesome send off to the show. Thank you to everyone who took part and sent in their views. Also! I will be back next time to interview another community member. Thanks guys!" Tyson winked before the camera cut.

Finished~
