And now the nice
May. 4th, 2010 02:47 pmWhilst there was a lot of crap going on in the olden days of the Buffy fandom, let's not forget the good stuff (of which there were many).
1) The fevered debates after each episode aired
2) The friendships/love affairs/marriages that formed in the fandom
3) Slash!
4) A worthy female role model
5) Epic threads regarding slivers of spoilers
6) Shippers (love 'em or hate 'em - they would be missed if we didn't have 'em)
7) Everyone and their mother creating fansites - it was the age of Geocities
8) The warm relationship between the writers/actors and the fans
9) The VHS boxsets - oh so pretty (and bulky)
10) Waiting for the summary of the wildfeed to be posted
So if you were around, what are your fond memories of the fandom when the show was on the air
