Big ole hug

[lettered]

*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.

I think you're right about the subset issues. That was one of the things that flummoxed me as well; most of the other fandoms I'd participated in before this one were either much smaller and without all these little sub groups, or were much more divided than even Jossverse is, and there was never this overall feel of interaction with people who's interests might be divergent from yours like you get here.

I know what you mean also about the difficulties of lj as a medium, but I'm not sure it's necessarily true that it doesn't favor those interested in deep discussion. I want to, and often do, use my own journal as a forum for fannish discussion, where we all really get into the meta of it (either of writing or canon or fandom itself), and for the most part I've had some fantastic results. People leave big long comments and sometimes we get into really interesting discussions in which we both learn a lot.

Thanks for your opinions, these are definitely big points to consider. And hi again, thanks for commenting, feel welcome to lurk and delurk as you please, and you won't find as much about Spike here as you might like, but you're always welcome in discussion!
