Fandom and me.

Re. the current discussions, then [livejournal.com profile] green_maia has an absolutely lovely post, that you should all read.

Personally, then I love my show, but I think I might be all argued out. I've been here 5 1/2 years after all, have written/read/debated every issue under the sun in that time, and now I'm happy just sitting here on the back porch in comfortable silence.

Still - if anyone wants to know my thoughts on Buffy and Spike, go here, because [livejournal.com profile] the_royal_anna said it best:

'There's always a back doorstep, if you like – always a place the two of them can find where they can sit, side-by-side, and put everything else behind them.'

Ha! I haven't been in the fandom very long, so I haven't experienced that weariness. But quoting [livejournal.com profile] the_royal_anna and sitting on the back porch is always a lovely way to spend time.

That's my feeling too . . . the weariness hasn't hit me personally, but when people I love are feeling weary I just wanna hug them. And I think that's the best part of this fandom - us newbies learning from the old timer fans that there's nothing new under the sun, so we should just sit on the porch and enjoy each other's company.

Aw... thanks. :)

Finding common ground is the most important thing of all, I think.

Yeah, exactly. I feel so bad for all the tired people! But our generation hasn't hit that point yet.

HUGS ALL AROUND!

And that is *brilliant* seeing people debate stuff with such passion - new fans are wonderful. *♥ you all*

But quoting [info]the_royal_anna and sitting on the back porch is always a lovely way to spend time.
I figured it was something everyone could agree on, and thus stole the idea from Barb and Caroline. :)

Aw! I really am thrilled to death whenever I see someone new enter our little corner of fandom because I'm new and my love is still strong and I always come to these things late and I'm petrified of fandom dying out! But it doesn't seem likely to do that anytime soon, for which I am glad.

Yup! She's like the prophetess of Spike/Buffy fandom, bringing us all together and telling the truth!

That's because Buffy is *awesome*!

Absolutely. She was the first fandom person I ever knew, and I am grateful to this day that she was my introduction to this wonderful and shiny world. :)
