The Buffistas aren't a fandom, but they are of fandom. We may be no more representative than, say, the Kittens, but we're both 'net fandom, no?
Uh, are we gonna fight, or is there just gonna be a monster sarcasm rally?

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I come up first on a vanity google of my name. Then a lady who was apparently the first African American professor at some university in the South. Most of the libkitty stuff seems to be me as well, although there is some stuff in French that seems to relate to a .dll.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The Buffistas aren't a fandom, but they are of fandom.
I think that's how it started but is it really still the case? I mean, even before every show we followed got knocked off the air, how many Buffistas would have cited fandom-related discussion as their primary reason for posting here?
ita, however, is a BNF. She gots the SOs.

You say this much better than I, ita. And shorter too, which is almost always a good thing.

Not even I. Fandom is how I found buffistas in the first place, but I stay because of the community.

ita, I was just talking about you. Polgara was immortalized by her SO in a Buffy ep. When she goes places, people recognize her name, it's resonated in all sorts of nooks and crannies in the fandom.
ita moon is famous in our pond, but if you go to the Firefly Official Board, where the obsessiveness is not a small thing, it doesn't register. The only thing I can figure is that you're not one of their own.
You're a fan, immortalized by name, and also in the Krav reference. Isn't that BNFish?

ita - please don't mention the buffistas and the kittens in the same realm of fandom. *shudder*

If I only had a brain...
There was a krav reference?

I would have. I mean, although I really enjoy the community, it was about Buffy. I voted against the natter thread. I didn't think it important. For the moment it might be best to ignore the fact that I was the most prolific poster then, and for a huge long while after.
She gots the SOs.

Ah, well. I think I need more help with that.

I ain't gonna lie. It's way cool, and I'll clutch both to my shrivelled heart till I die. Not big though. Name, yes, fan for sure, just not big.
