Big ole hug

*shakes fandom hard*

Don't you ever leave me, you fool, don't ever leave me!

*hugs fandom hard*

You. Hey you! Yes you, walkin' on by, thinking 'bout leaving all this behind. Why aren't you writing brow ridge fic?

*shakes fandom again, harder this time, jouncey trampoline grip I've got*

I love the Angel theme song. I love it like whoa. I heard it last night and I cried.

I don't cry much.

You have started me on the path of not thinking that way about BtVS.

Dude, three cheers for rahirah!

I was telling someone below, I've been wanting to start a comm, like a kinda newbie/introduction comm for Buffyverse, where new people can introduce themselves, post things they're afriad to post in other comms, and most importantly, discuss things like the fandom itself, it's issues, how to get noticed, how to get in, etc etc.

I really identify with what you're saying about the "big picture" . . . I don't just plunge into ANYTHING when it comes to interacting with people. I scope out for a LONG time before I join in ... I didn't do that with Buffyverse so much as with other fandoms, because I finally got fed up. I'd been in fandom for years, and felt like I didn't KNOW anybody, and I saw from the outside all these interesting discussions, beta relationships, forums for interaction, but I never felt like I could join in and the few times I did I felt ignored, and I'm SUCH an attention whore that this really affronted me. I think I got lucky with Jossverse because I met some people who really in the thick of it right off the bat, and they were all incredibly kind to me, but...five years of fandom, and that never happened before.

I don't know, I just don't want other people to feel like I've felt before, wanting to join in and feeling all weirdly left out, and feeling ridiculous for feeling left out because it would be easy to come in and make noise if I really wanted to.

So anyway, I do hope you get your bunny one day for Buffyverse. I love your Phantom fics though so you're not allowed to leave that fandom either or I will hunt you DOWN and stuff your stomach full of FLESH EATING RABBITS.

God, fandom is such crack! I won't leave Phantom; my "kissing the frog" gets recc'd still, so I feel I could get into a big fish/little pond situation, which is really attractive, y'know? But just so I know, are these rabbits going down my throat or is it a surgical procedure? Laproscopic, so to speak.

Smack me NOW.

It's not so much that I feel intimidated by Buffy fans or comms themselves--I'm brazen enough to post whatever I feel like whether invited or not--but the *writing* seems difficult. It can't be; much sillier people than I write all the time. But in my head it's like "OMG there's like 100,000 characters to think about and all this canon and argh!!" I'm so familiar with the Phantom stuff that if I even have to check a source I know where to look.

Everyone's so nice. =)
