My name is Krystal, but you may call me Ghost (long story). My OHMIGOD fave Newsies are the three musketeers (Blink, Mush, Race) and Spot. But I would like to cuddle and feed them all. I first saw Newsies in American History, Sophomore year of high school (four years ago?). I thought it was okay. The full-fledged fangirl bug bit me this past spring break when I bought the DVD as an impulse at Disneyland. I love reading/writing fanfiction, but I think I have to learn some more about the fandom before writing anything Newsies-related. An epic is building itself in the recesses of my brain. It may or may not come to frution. I seem to find myself liking Blush and Sprace very, very much. Oh, and Lucks! Everything You've Done Wrong = LOVE!

Hey I'm Jeni. My favorite newsie is Jack. I've been a fan...gosh, I guess it's been about 6-7 months now. My friend, Meg, was obsessed with it, so one day, we just traded movies for a day and she gave me Newsies. I thought it was cute and wanted my sister to watch it, so I kept it a second night. I got my own copy after Christmas and have been loving it since. I love writing, reading, and watching movies over and over again. Yeah...that's me jeni*

You know, there are lot of fanfiction readers/writers here. Jen, why don't you make a Newsies fanfiction forum to discuss and reccomend fanfics?

Well, I'm Jayne and I've been a fan since the movie first came out when I was a wee girl. Right now I'm in college in Boston but I'm originally from Queens and spent most of my childhood there and in Jersey. I'm a Skittery girl at heart, but I've got soft spots for David and Snitch. Though my soft spot for Snitch developed only as a direct result of Snittery (my OTP).
Hm, other movies I'm big on are the classic rock operas (read Tommy, Rocky Horror, and Hedwig) but I'm really a classic horror and zombie girl at heart. I worship Romero and enjoy old-school Raimi as well as 50s sci-fi (Teenagers from Outter Space!).
As for the fanfiction, as previously stated I'm a Snittery girl, but it's getting harder to find new Snittery's so I've found myself reading more Blush and Sprace. I also must pay homage to EYDW because it's the story that showed me Sprace is in fact awesome. That and the Itey love was fantastic.

Romeo & Juliet Titanic Harry Potter The Goonies A Little Princess The Phantom of the Opera I've got to put some comments on these: it's just a lil eerie how close this is to my own obsession list. R&J- we're reading this in English class right now, and I love it Titanic- I went through this really weird speal where everything was this ship. Books based on it, movies, documentarys... Harry Potter- *groan* don't even get me started. I was insane about this after my bff got me addicted (about one month before she moved: I think she did that on purpose) Goonies- I love that one! I saw it @ a TAG trip once, and couldn't stop laughing Little Princess- similar to Titanic. About 3 versions of the movie, the book, etc... Phantom- sang several of the songs in chorus, watched the movie, am going to read the book as soon as my friend turns it back in, and watched several reviews at speech contest. See what I mean? Eerie.

Newsie Name- Breeze Favorite Newsie- Mush!! but Blink comes in close second I first saw the movie a couple of months ago, not sure exactly how long. My friends made me watch it and ive been obsessed ever since! Fav song- Its a tie between Carryin the Banner and King of New York Other info- I LOVE getting obsessed over things, even though im often teased for it, lol. Im also obsessed with Star Wars (not in a geeky way, but more like i like the story and the characters, not to mention that Hayden Christensen is one of the HOTTEST guys alive ) and Gavin DeGraw. and i LUV to horseback ride and dance. (ok, that was random) Yea, so im in luv with Mush cause he is just the SWEETEST guy ever, and he just happens to be reeaaalllly hot. lol. but one thing that i absolutely HATE is when ppl say that Mush and Blink are gay. ive read fanfic about all that and i was soooo mad. is it okay for guys to have best friends just like girls?!?!?! huh?!?!?! I dont hate Sarah, i dont really have anything against her. im jealous that she got to kiss Jack, but i dont hate her, just so ya know. hmmm...what else......has anyone noticed that at the end of "Newsies Newsies See All About It" when they are getting into the car, Arvie (Boots) says "can we please go, please?" haha! he says please twice! ok, so its not that funny. but my friend and i were watching it and we both started cracking up, so now its a joke between us. ummm...ok...i think im out of things to say..... Much luv! ~Breeze

How: just flippin' through the channels, lookin' for somethin' to watch. Other: i got my nickname because of my ability to 'glare daggers' at a person, lol.

Hola, everyone. I be Maroozer. *waves* I have yet to give myself an avatar and sig, but what the hey. I may as well jump right on the wagon first. I recently became a Newsies fan, so I can't really say that I've met anyone or anything of that sort. I'm a huge fan of musical theater, and have been a bit hardcore about it for the past three years or so. I first heard the song King of New York in eighth grade, when I was doing my first show. Some of the girls in my theater group had this huge, back-flipping dance coreographed to it, and it was amazing, so I guess I fell in love with the song before I knew what I was getting into. I watched the movie for the first time this year, and well...hooked. So I'm sixteen, a drama geek, and never get off my computer, all of which brought me here. Oh, and my favorite Newsie...either Skittery or Racetrack. Or Spot. Just...'cause. Oh, and I may (I'm praying that this happens) be able to perform in a production of Newsies, either this summer or this fall. For this summer, the camp I usually go to is deciding between Newsies and Once on This Island, and chances are that if they choose Newsies for the summer camp, it will end up being the fall production. *is mucho excited--has been begging for this forever* ETA: *glances around nervously* Will I be stoned to death for my completely abnormally random banner?

So here are the basics:
Name- Catherine
Favorite Newsie- I just have to say Skittery or Mush. Both of them are incredible dancers (as they all are) with just beautiful voices, and Michael Goorjian and Aaron Lohr continue to amaze me even to this day.
How long have I been a fan- Oh geez, make me feel old here. I've loved them for a decade now.
How did I discover the movie- Well one year my studio decided to do a movie themed show, and the class before mine was doing "King of New York". So I would sit there waiting for my class to begin, and found I really enjoyed the music. Then the instructor finally told them to rent the movie "Newsies" and watch it. I guess it had something to do with the energy they needed for the piece. So after months of it being rented out, I finally watched it.
Other random facts- Well I am a musical theatre geek, as well as a theatre geek in general. I love certain Shakespearean plays, Molière, Albee, Williams, and the list goes on.
I'm an actor with a love of the dark (aka I'm also a techie).
Oh and my major is Business and International Studies.
