Beauty and the Beast Audiotapes

Beauty and the Beast Audiotapes are fan-produced cassette tapes containing audio clips from the TV show Beauty and the Beast. 
The tapes were arranged either thematically or by character. The tapes were between 60 minutes and 90 minutes long. Unlike videotapes, audio cassette tapes used a universal format, thereby allowing these UK produced tapes to be more easily sold in the US and Canada.

Beauty and the Beast Fandom and The Nielsen Ratings

The Nielsen Ratings (sometimes misspelled as "Neilsen" or Neilson" and often referred to as "the ratings") is a measurement system operated by a for-profit company that seeks to determine the size, demographics, and composition of the audiences of television shows in the United States. 
High ratings, of course, mean eyeballs which in turn means advertising dollars and continued filming and support.
Beauty and the Beast (TV) fandom, probably more so than any other fandom then and now, was very openly focused on the Nielsens, The ratings were huge topic of fan speculation and discussion. 
 
 
==Explaining Nielsen Ratings==
In 1989, an anonymous network executive explained how it all worked to a fan. From "Conversation with a Net Exec":
==Altering Results: Bagging Those Boxes==
Stephanie A. Wiltse, editor of Pipeline was very upfront about gaming the system in her newsletter. Not only did it have upwards of 1,500 subscribers, it was was regularly read by TPTB: 
==Questioning Results: The Box Hunt==
From Wiltse in Pipeline and the article, "The Ratings - Quality Blind?": 
==It's Not the Letters, Fans. It's the Ratings==
In 1989, Ray Faiola (Director of Audience Services, CBS) explained to fans about what really mattered... and it wasn't their constant letter campaigns:
In 1990, a fan wrote to Starlog: 
==A Fan Alternative: "Viewers for Quality Television"==
See Viewers for Quality Television (VQT).

The B&B International Quilt was created by fans. The project was organized by Sally Newman.

A zine was proposed, but it is unknown if it was completed. From a flyer: ""Momentum of Love/Story of a Quilt" should be out soon. Please send a SASE if you are interested."
 
==Its Beginning==
In an October 1989 note in Once Upon a Time... Is Now #15: "Interested in helping make a quilt to be presented to B&B? Cotton (chintz) fabric & quilters needed."

Beauty and the Beast Songtape by Laura Cook

The Beauty and the Beast Songtape by Laura Cook is an untitled songtape collection of fan Beauty and the Beast fan vids made by Laura Cook. The video cassette songtape contained four vids that were shown at a Beauty and the Beast convention in Las Vegas. The event may have been one of the Tunnelcons held in the 1990s. If so, it would make the songtape among some of the earlier Beauty and the Beast fanvids. The tape cost $10 (including shipping) and was shrink-wrapped, something that was unusual for most songtapes at the time.

Beauty and the Beast UK Chamber

Beauty and the Beast UK Chamber was a Beauty and the Beast (TV) fan club based in the UK. 
It was the very first Beauty and the Beast UK club.
It is NOT the same club as Beauty and the Beast British Fan Club.
Though based in the UK, it had also members from Europe and the USA.
The club published numerous fanzines and hosted cons.
The group also served as an umbrella for other UK local groups such as Laura's Cavern.
==One Description==
From an ad placed in Of Love and Hope #2:
From an ad in The Helper's Network Directory v.4 n.2 (summer 1993): 
==Cons==
 
The fan club hosted several conventions, including annual events such as a Winterfest in Feb/March and Masques in October/November.
They also hosted the 1990 con, UK Chamber Convention.
==Some Publications==
 
* The Chronicle
* The Journal
* The Miracle of Love
==Split with Another Club==
There is much fan commentary in the letterzine, Chatterbox, about this club's 1995 split with Helper's Network UK.

Beauty and the Beast Videotape Pledge

The Beauty and the Beast Videotape Pledge was a Beauty and the Beast (TV) fan-led effort to show support for the episodes that were filmed but threatened not to be shown after the show was cancelled. Fans also felt that this campaign would also show TPTB that there was sufficient interest in further episodes and/or a full-length feature film.
 
The campaign was organized by Nan Dibble and Kimberly Hartman and Mark Hartman who were some members of The Loyal Collective. Word-of-mouth, promotion by mentions to the press, and print flyers (posted in public areas, mailed via the postal service) were the main source of communication and distribution among fans.
==The Beginning==
A 1990 description: 
A 2006 description: 
==The Money==
It was estimated the petition needed 100,000 by mid-February 1990 in order for Witt Thomas to find the project feasible.
The campaign did not succeed, even after reaching 200,000 signatures from fans across the world promising to pay $4 million dollars for the episodes, sight unseen.Nan Dibble recounting the campaign in her March 8, 1998 Helpers' Network Hotline online newsletter posted to alt.tv.beauty+beast
==Mainstream Press Comment==
From the Los Angeles Times:
==Acafan Comment: 2013==
In retrospect the campaign faced significant technical hurdles, most of which are not present today. In his March 2013 article Kickstarting Veronica Mars, Henry Jenkins notes that:
==Picked Up for Syndication: 1990==
When the show was suddenly picked up for syndication, and fans could look forward to the full run of episodes, interest in the pledge waned.
But that did not mean the Pledge was in vain. Nan Dibble wrote in an article called "
Report from non-Neilsen [sic] country...": 
==Bypassing the Nielsen Ratings==
VCR tapes were envisioned as a way to take back the power from The Nielsen Ratings.

Beauty and the Geek

Beauty and the Geek is an All Human AU by jomosfamilyjewels with Klaus/Caroline as the main focus of the story. The story has been written as an attempt to lighten up the atmosphere in the fandom.Per Author's Note: "With all the doom and gloom on Tumblr these days, I thought our little fandom could use some lighthearted fluff and I also thought this would be so fun to write. Although, these characters are a much lighter version of themselves, I feel like with time, they'll find the depth and beauty of what we love about Klaus and Caroline."
Summary: AU/AH - Klaus owns a comic book store and Caroline is the pretty little thing that moves into the retail space next door. Light and fluffy
The fic won Best Comedic Fiction in 2013 and 2014 at the Klaroline Awards.

Beauyasha vs Beaujester

While not an official name, beauyasha vs beaujester describes a conflict between shippers of two Beauregard Lionett ships: Beau/Yasha and Beau/Jester
==Canon Material (or lack of)==
==Episode- or event-specific reactions==
===Post 2x109===
In episode 108, Traveler Con, Beau and Fjord talk to each other. Fjord admits that he wants Jester to be a part of his future and that he's not sure whether he wants to address potential feelings for her or not; Beau made the comment that “I think it’s easy to lust after Jester because she’s sparkles and confetti and shiny.”. She also asks Fjord whether he thinks Yasha is into her. In episode 109, Frigid Propositions, Beau asks Jester whether she thinks that Yasha’s into her; Beau says “I feel like the ball's in her court, 'cause she's the one with the dead wife.” Beauyasha and Beaujester shippers alike had reactions to these events.
===Post-Talks Machina (Oct 13 2020)===
===Post 2x112===
In this episode, Yasha confesses that she has a crush on Beau to Jester and the two proceed to write a poem about Beau. (examples welcome)
===Post 2x118===
In this episode, Fjord tells Jester that he wants to help keep her safe, asks if he can kiss her, and when she assents he does so. (examples welcome)
==Cast influence==
There has been a great deal of speculation about the extent to which cast members have talked to each other out-of-game about their intentions. Fan responses are sometimes based in evidence from Talks Machina, where the cast are asked questions (some proposed by fans); other times, fans express frustration at changes they feel happened in the in-game character dynamics, or frustration at information they feel is being withheld intentionally or glossed over.
In particular, many beaujester shippers post-ep 118 have expressed intense disappointment with the directions the show went, and feel that the cast have not adequately answered or addressed changes in Beau and Jester’s relationship. Other beaujester fans mention being aware of Word of God statements from the respective cast members – including Laura confirming that Jester’s feelings for Fjord never went away, or Marisha discussing how Beau figured Jester would never reciprocate – but are still disappointed.
==Using each others tags on Tumblr==
==Criticism of fandom behavior==
Post ep-119, Matt posted a twitter thread addressing a loud minority of anti-Fjord/Jester shippers, which also seemed to have ties to the shipping war.

Bebo

Bebo was a social networking site that had a strong fan contingent. The site was particularly popular in the UK and Ireland.
Bebo allowed users to customise their profile page using skins, and upload vids from YouTube to their profile. This made vidding and sharing vids a popular fan activity on the site. Quizzes and polls were another popular activity.
