So I had a really great convo with my best friend Alissa today, and we were talking about the importance of treating your fans right, treating people right. That when people accept me they accept you guys because we’re a package deal. We stick together, we’re very close. I’ve spoken and hung out with so many of you. Alissa told me the story of waiting 9 years for a star she loved to respond to her or show her some appreciation and she still didn’t really ever get the validation she deserved. The first and only fan letter I wrote was to Moby for his album play I believe. I never got a response… no one I ever was crazy about as a fan gave me the time of day no matter how many photos I saved or songs I sang in the car. They made me feel like a fan, below them, not on their level. I hope I can always make you guys feel validated. My katgrahammusic@gmail.com is a bit spammed out right now so steer clear of that and lets stick to tumblr and twitter til I catch up lol. Every country I visit, every place I go I hope to meet you all, spend time with you, get to know your lives and become fans of every one of you. I brought in my close friend Hannah Tyson @teamkatgraham to help me with whatever you guys need. When there’s a follow or a fan that feels overlooked she helps me see through everything and brings important fan concerns to my attention. She’s 18 and has me 24.7 which means you guys do too. With filming and rehearsals the album, I never want to be slipping with you guys. You’re a priority and my goal is to continue to make you number one priority. Thanks for always “keeping it real” and supporting me. talk to you soon. stay LOUD. they hear you.

Sorry for the dp, but didn't want to mess up the OP with my random thoughts.

I remember when she announced on twitter and posted the link to her tumblr. I adore that she makes such an effort to get in touch with the fans.

Anyways a few highlights for me would be:

+Of course when she followed me
+Going into the Kat tag and seeing how thrilled everyone is when she follows them.
+When she made that post about her nomination for Teen Choice awards. I loved what she had to say, she was so genuine about it. Yet, it really did discourage me that she felt that compelled (due to some members of this fandom actions) to defend her nomination. but I won't lie, when she won, I felt vindicated and rubbed it in everyone's faces.

Again, I love that she takes the time to log on and interact.

Thanks for opening!

Thanks for opening the thread!

Love her tumblr post ... flawless human being

Disturbia

Thanks for opening this thread.

Just saw her tumblr post and she is seriously amazing with her fans.
.
I have to say I was really annoyed, I didnt get why people were targeting Kat is wasnt her fault she was nominated and others were not. Honestly I think every Bonnie fan was angry and made sure she was going to win.

McQueenFanGirl

Yeah, everyone rallied to vote for her

I want to find that post because she shared some interesting personal stuff, but she deleted off her tumblr.

ETA: Nvm, found it elsewhere

I guess this life is bittersweet. You spend your entire life, working for a dream, a dream that only 3 years ago seemed unreachable… I had .86 cents when I booked vampire diaries (in my savings account) I didn’t expect to get the role, let alone stay on the show. I didn’t even get a bed until 6 months into it because I thought that good stuff didn’t really happen to a kid like me. Not to be a downer, I didn’t mind it, but at that point I always and only knew the hard way. I found out (via twitter) that I got nominated for a TCA. I was so excited and most of all shocked. I don’t think I’m going to win, by any means… I didn’t think I was going to win last time I went, but I went anyways, to meet the fans that were hanging out at the barriers… because I used to be behind those barriers and I thought even going would just be so cool. Come to find out within a few hours, I’m getting hate tweets from fans of my real life best friend Candice about why should I have gotten nominated, like I control it. I don’t even know how to respond to that. I moved like everyone else to Atlanta, away from my family to shoot this show, we all spend hours a scene to break it down. It kinda bummed me out. No one wants Candy to succeed more than me. She’s the most beautiful person in the world. I love her so much and anything I even get nominated for I’d share with her anyways. She’s incredible and **** yeah she should’ve been nominated, so should Sara Canning… but I don’t run anything. We are a team of actors that rely on each other for a great scene, a great moment captured. I’m happy even one of us got nominated, I don’t care if it’s me or someone else, I really don’t. But don’t tweet me negative ****, because it takes my attention away from the people that really matter. I can take critism, but just messaging me about something I have zero control over is just hurtful. So stop. This is the only award show where the fans have the power, use it well.

Disturbia

Thanks.
It really was sad, you can tell that she was angry and sad. I think people take not liking a character way to far, she is just hired to do a job if you have a problem take it to the writers, Kat is just doing her job.
Also I really dont like it when people try to pit the girls against each other.

@McQueenFanGirl Thanks for posting that ! I hope that this

``stay LOUD. they hear you.`` means also that they hear how angry we are with the way they write Bonnie in this show and how little space she has.


Btw loving your icon i loved them together before the writers destroyed them.

McQueenFanGirl

Me too.

She came on a couple of weeks ago to respond to fans who were complaining about Bonnie's treatment. She hears us.

Thankyou they were ruined, and I'm still bitter, lol.

moonlightstar

I just hope that the writers hear us to especially when people from media started to noticing the same problem and pointing it out in their articles.


Yep they where i still think their story had so many potential and Andy actually was more for him then Joey.I loved their scenes especially at the beginning

Thanks for posting that tumblr post. I never read that one

My heart breaks with Kat and I don´t understand how people can be so cruel especially after she didn´t make the rules for the nomination and that she is hired to do the job.
