On a personal fan note.

It's hard to get past the shipping wars that nearly wrecked the fandom back when seasons 6 and 7 were on the air. Some of us have long memories.

This is why I like reading articles from newcomers.

Word.

I delight in each piece of meta I come across that's written by a fan that came to the series after it went off the air.

My experience of starting to write reviews and do interviews two years ago has been that some people have this need to put new writers in a shipper box whether they have a preference or not. I'm forever a Bangel because I once said that I thought the show painted Spike and Buffy's relationship into a corner during Seeing Red. I have never once talked about Buffy and Angel's relationship but, nevermind that, I'm Bangel all the way and I *really* hate Spike. Who knew? I sure didn't.

Darn it - can't edit my comment! Sounded like I was whinging about not getting on a forum. There are plenty I could use.

What I meant to say was I had some things I was thinking of saying...sometime... (non-committal is my name) and I thought I might...sometime... say them... And it was good to know that someone might be interested... sometimes.

Or something like that..
