HA! That was my first Buffistas post!
And it was funny. Not so much the ickiness of my arrival.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Hee! I started watching during the first round of reruns before S2, and I had a friend who had to have been hooked into something, because before 'Innocence', she told me that she knew what was going to happen, and I (possessing little to no willpower even then) made her tell me. When I asked how she'd known, she said that she'd found out on the Internet. It boggled me then. My very first spoiler. By the end, I was reading scripts with abandon, then beating myself up for it. Wonderfalls is the only thing I've remained pure for, and it's been a bloody fight.
Wipes tear.

Allyson was funny from the first, then.

Hee. I am glad for Tim that the Buffistas (and its predecessors) were around. If he had written for Buffy in the first few seasons I think he would have been a Bronzer. Of course, if Tim had been writing in the earlier years, there would have been a much higher body count.

This essay is not writing itself. I thought that was a shortcut in Word. Apparently not.
I've had this same hope. Unfortunately, the "help" function seems to only be helpful once the essay has actually been written.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm so into history. Ima find me the very first Buffista posts and poke around.
There's always the FAQ...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
There's always the FAQ...
And the man in the back said, "Listen to the FAQ, and we'll turn it into a Buffista Blitz."
OK, I have no idea why my brain just did that.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Oh, I know, and I've gone through the FAQ. I just like reading old posts. Those kind of snapshots in time always give me the jollies.

I haven't seen so much posted on Minearverse for ages. When I saw the numbers, I almost thought I was looking at Natter! It does my heart good to see it here.
Plus, the background is fascinating. Instead of feeling less a part because the stories don't include me, reading the stories (especially Allyson's "Bible") I feel more a part of buffistas. Which is great, because I am Lilty in that:
I'm sad that I missed out on so many valuable years of Buffy discussion when I could have been there. I mean, I was sitting around in a dorm room, watching all the Buffy my roomie could stomach, trolling around the internet. Did I ever think to put the two together and look around? Nooooo. Of course not. That would have been too clever of me.
The Nilly stories have done the same thing for me. I'm really enjoying having such a positive reaction instead of being uber-jealous. I don't know if this is the community, or me growing as a person, but I think we should each take the credit! t /psycho-babble

I was going to say something about the Bronze, but I think instead I'll just put up a link to this post I made in Bureaucracy this spring about Bronze history and how it's relevant to the Phoenix Board. The ol' brain seemed to be working better back then, and I know I gave it a lot of thought before posting.
