[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.
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*
There was a krav reference?
how many Buffistas would have cited fandom-related discussion as their primary reason for posting here?
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.
First parsed as Significant Other.
Ah, well. I think I need more help with that.
You're a fan, immortalized by name, and also in the Krav reference. Isn't that BNFish?
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.
In Wonderfalls there's an exchange about Krav Maga.
Perhaps I was not using the correct definition of "fan" and "fandom,"
I think your definition is probably not the same as mine. To me, while a BNF can also be a beloved member of an internet community, they aren't the same thing.
Yes, but you'd be a BNF if only you'd capitalize.
