the banner will be posted shortly

**kaleidocat** · 01-04-2014, 01:58 PM

Can't wait to see it!

SeIena · 01-04-2014, 02:21 PM

Its beautiful

**kaleidocat** · 01-04-2014, 06:16 PM

THAT IS SO EFFING BEAUTIFUL SeIena!

You've motivated me to spruce up our OP.

Does anyone have any favorite images or gif sets (please cite the source) to share?

I suppose the basics we need are her social media sites. These are the official ones, right?
Melinda on Twitter
Melinda on Instagram
Melinda on Facebook
Melinda on YouTube
Melinda on Tumblr
Miss Conception - A company created by Melinda

What else do we need? A list of video and print interviews? I like lists. I love making lists.

I could have sworn we started to make a reasons list but maybe it never got added over. Here's Alli's first thread - http://www.fanforum.com/f191/allia-a...-1-a-62859657/. (I'm just posting this for reference so I can go back and look)

**JustMe2000** · 01-04-2014, 11:47 PM

Awesome banner! Thanks so much for sharing it.

Those accounts seem right. I can't think of anything else off the top of my head.

NocturnalCouchPotato · 01-05-2014, 12:18 AM

Wow! That's a great banner! I love it!

Yeah, the reasons list is on page 2.

Quote:

1. Alli always manages to give a spark to the show.
2. Through it all, her academic ambitions have never wavered.
3. Because Melinda can carry comedic moments as well as the dramatic plots.
4. Because we can relate to her mistakes and enjoy watching her grow from them.
5. Because our hearts (of glass) break as we watch her struggle.
6. Because she is a little scene stealer. The camera loves her!
7. Because she won't let a boy stop her from reaching her dreams.
8. Because she was a great friend to Cam.
9. Because she tried to help Eli and Clare get back together.
10. Because she rocks her earrings.
11. Because she's a great flash mob member.
12. Because she helped Paige come back to Degrassi in The Power Play mini.
13. Because she is slowly growing up.
14. Because we all panicked when she was gonna go to MIT.
15. Because she was there for Jenna during her pregnancy even after Jenna began going out with KC.
16. Because she recruited help for Clare's newspaper despite the tension in their friendship.
17. Because Alli and Sav are two of the most memorable siblings on the series.
18. Because she is both rebellious and loyal to her family and that is a realistic combination for a teenager.
19. Because it broke our hearts to see her struggle to gain her parents acceptance.
20. Because her sassy comebacks are hilarious.

I stopped watching the season currently, but based on positive comments on Melinda's acting, and my concern for Alli, I might actually watch her episodes. The promos look intense but I really hope the writers put in effort to make this more than just another "Alli plus boys equals trouble" plot the show is so ready to serve.

thanks guys, glad you like it

if you want you can use it as op banner thingy
also, dont forget to add me to the list

**kaleidocat** · 01-05-2014, 05:14 PM

I'm planning on using it for the main OP banner SeIena.

Will credit you, no worries. I'll add you and others to the list too.

Thanks for gathering the reasons, Vrej. I knew they were out there! I'm happy to see that there are more than I thought! I too am behind on episodes and should watch for Alli. If we get some heart-felt Bhandari family scenes, I'm there!

I've actually got about ten tabs open right now of various Alli-Melinda. Including Festival of Lights. This looks so good. I can't believe I missed it. I hope there's some way to watch it online. Did anyone watch her TV movie Alive on MuchMusic?

No problem! The OP has been long overdue for a makeover.
Another reason... 21. Because it hurts us to see her get abused.

**kaleidocat** · 01-06-2014, 07:09 PM

I've got a pretty good list of interviews and media going for the OP. What about Alli fan fiction or music videos? Anyone have any favorites? Shooting to have this spruced up OP done in a few days.

More reasons:
22. Because the teen issue may not be new but Alli's perspective always is.
23. Because she may have loads of boy drama but each relationship is unique.
24. Because she is never boring.
25. Because we are happy she is still at Degrassi and didn't fast track to MIT.

Here's an Alli video I've always liked:

I don't remember any good Alli themed fanfiction.

**kaleidocat** · 01-07-2014, 05:58 PM

Updated the OP! Hope you guys like it.

I found a couple other music vids:

Reminds me of how much I loved her running away storyline.

NocturnalCouchPotato · 01-29-2014, 09:01 PM

I only watched the car scene last night, but Melinda did a stunning job. I felt so bad for Alli. And Melinda is now a guest beauty blogger for Teennick.

**kaleidocat** · 02-10-2014, 12:28 AM

I've just seen bruised Alli in gifs but man, she looked horrifying. As she should. I'm super curious about the scene where Leo is beating her up now. Did it go there?
