So that's my dream. That and some stuff about cigars and a tunnel.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

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

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?

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

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?

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

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.

So she's a lnf?

Oh and before I go, I meant to say this earlier but I've only ever been aware of "BNF" with the associated negative connotations and that was long before I'd even heard of LJ.

Me too. I think my exposure was through Dana and/or shrift, and it was never kind, and predated the rise of LJ, as far as I can tell.
