Closed

March 23, 2011: I am sorry to announce that Freaky Gone Fabulous is now closed. Many of you probably saw this coming based on the extended hiatus, but I want to explain my reasoning for closing the site. For quite some time now, I have been annoyed with the very little effort Mattel has been expending on continuity within this series. Between the dollverse, bookverse, and variety of different toonverses, it was becoming extremely hard to keep up with these characters— who they were supposed to be, who their friends were, etc. Keeping a site like FGF, which featured character bios and relationship statuses, up-to-date in the midst of all this confusion was becoming extremely difficult.

However, despite all this, I was holding off on shutting down the site because I still sort of hoped that things would settle down and I could happily get back to updating the site without wanting to tear my hair out. Because even though the toonverse and the bookverse was still all over the map, the dollverse had remained pretty consistent. This changed today, when the new Draculaura + Clawd giftset appeared on eBay. It is clear that Mattel has finally settled on a continuity, and it's one that cuts Jackson Jekyll out of the picture. As someone who was a big fan of what Mattel had set up between Draculaura and Jackson—this was the main reason I got so involved in the Monster High fandom to begin with—I was extremely disappointed with this decision. This pretty much destroyed any remaining enthusiasm I had for this fandom, and I just can't foresee that I will get it back. Therefore, I regret to say that this site is now closed.
