Behind The Name
La Notte is Italian for The Night. I first came across it when I discovered the movie title La Notte and since then those words have stayed with me. I liked the sound of them I guess and was just waiting for a reason to use them. That reason came when I created the forum.
And It Is?
The forum is for all those people out there that like horror, dystopia, the paranormal, the occult or any other form of what is considered to be 'darkness' in any genre, media or way of life.
I myself can be a bit 'vanilla' but also like a bit of each of the above mentioned topics across the board. I myself have an interest in horror, dystopia, vampires, lycanthropes or shape shifters, mind control and mental conditioning, Witchcraft, mythology, BDSM, dark art (including fetish photography), religions (Satanism, Nihilism for examples) and a lot of other topics pertaining to the Paranormal and The Occult.
All that encompasses lifestyle, literature and media so I wanted to have somewhere I could go that would have all those things and then more without feeling out of place or having to think first before speaking/posting.
Sure I could have joined a Goth forum, there are plenty of them out there that are great, but unlike a lot of Goths I'm not outwardly Goth and I can be on the 'lighter' side but still dark at the same time. I'm a Goth at heart but I don't go completely into the physical aspect of Gothic, so I would feel out of place.
La Notte, although for Goths or the fully immersed as well, is also for all those people that have an interest in the dark side but aren't completely immersed in the lifestyle. It's for people that have an interest in one area or several. It's for people who like to dip into it sporadically because the darkness calls to them. And it's for the people who live it.
That is what La Notte is about.
Happy reading and posting

me too! *taps her chest* I feel it in here, even if its not refected on the outside so much... its an uncontrolable urging, but seriously, its expensive, time consuming etc to be in full goth getup... damn but i wish i had enough to buy a corset, a bustier and a bodice... and those gorgeous leather boots i was eyeing off (which pair you ask?)..
the darkness within, not always reflected on the skin *grins*
Thanks Jacq :D
ReplyDeleteI'm glad other people get it, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside lol.
Makes me even glader I created the forum, even if it isn't that busy and I'm paranoid about it dying in the arse (yeah I am), but it's nice to be able to have somewhere where one can be themselves.
Yes which boots?
ALL OF THEM!! i just want BOOTS!!
ReplyDeletethose sexy leather high heeled gorgeous things....
dont worry, i am surpirsed that my forum is still alive... like three years later.. even tho i have been absent... lots! you will be fine!! and even if you dont get millions of members, it will be okay... you know how i said my supportgroup is 800 members - i prefer my forum which has like 30.,.. its more intimate that way...
lol Boots are pretty awesome :)
ReplyDeleteI'd be happy with a dozen or so members but I'm more worried about it getting to a point where you visit and you expect to hear cricket song. There's only certain times I like cricket song, on forums aren't one of them.
But it's early days yet so I'll try not to think about it.
