Hell, my own significant other was DEEP in the tank for VM at the time and invested enough to get multiple t-shirts as backer rewards as well as a disk copy of the movie when it eventually came home.Īnd AFTER the movie hit in 2014? It was thankfully beloved and embraced! The once-teenage characters were adults who were actually out living on their own and working for a living, but the fandom had grown up with them, so it wasn't like they were begging for them to stay young students. Fans fell OVER themselves to pay out for it. At that time, it was the biggest Kickstarter goal to ever succeed - and certainly the fastest to reach that kind of height.

J ust how big and how passionate were the Marshmallows? WELL! When series creator Rob Thomas (not the Matchbox 20 guy) and star Kristen Bell announced the Kickstarter campaign for the Veronica Mars movie in March 2013, it achieved its h eretofore-unprecedented goal of TWO MILLION GODDAMN DOLLARS within less than 12 hours. So it went over the course of two seasons that took place in high school and the third, shorter season that was at the start of Veronica's collegiate career.) The three core elements of the series were: 1) Veronica investigating each week's big mystery with plenty of quips and snark, 2) Watching Veronica's various relationships develop and shift, with most of the focus given to a) her relationship to her father and b) Her romantic pursuits (which began as the Veronica/Duncan/Logan triangle before eventually becoming focused on the slow-burn, off-on Veronica/Logan love story), and 3) The gradual development of that season's "mytharc" - the overarching BIG MYSTERY that doesn't get resolved or wrapped until the season finale. She grew up working "unofficially" as his assistant, which meant that she herself was effectively a teenage private detective.

(Time to insert a brief explainer for the uninitiated: Veronica Mars was a TV series that aired from 2004-2007 on the now-deceased UPN network wherein Kristen Bell played the titular character, a high school girl whose single dad was a private detective in the fictional community of Neptune, California. It makes it so much easier to find and absorb the gamut of the fandom.īesides: There is NO fandom story I've ever seen that's anything like what happened to Veronica Mars and the Marshmallows. It's like studying pop-culture sociology or something? And it helps that I'm very close to some serious(- ly burnt) Marshmallows. absorb what's out there, looking into every forum without judgment. Like, if I'm IN a fandom, I'm more likely to stay in my corner and ignore places that seem negative. And I honestly find them easier to study from the outside than the inside. Regardless, I find fandoms and their dynamics - both how they operate internally and how they display to others externally - deeply fascinating. I just never took the time to sit down with it. ? Yeah, I'm sorry! it does seem pretty good from like the four-or-five hours I've experienced firsthand. They routinely beat the drum about the series' three seasons and its excellence, lamented its cancellation, pushed others to give the show a try, and always - ALWAYS - proudly and loudly called for the series to be revived.įULL DISCLOSURE/CONFESSION: I've not even watched that much Veronica Mars, frankly. If you weren't there, you don't understand: From 2007 to 2014, the fandom - the "Marshmallows," as they called themselves - were everywhere in the Internet's geek spaces, my friends.
