There's a lot of strange people out there in the land of fandom. Some are dead on, others are just plain odd and scary (and horrendous spellers to boot). I spent a bit of time trying to analyse them but gave up.
River: I know you have questions. Mal: That would be why I just asked them.

[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.

Yeah. Or FFANG.

If I only had a brain...
Damn good thing they don't tell stories about lazy, mildly depressive goth geeks with little-to-no ambition beyond making enough to support a wicked comics habit..

You're gone a few days and lots of things happen. Sheesh. Allyson, thanks for the link.

Hadn't thought about that. I didn't give the Joss Whedon for God 2005 2007 campaign a domain, because Joss gets enough of the praise elsewhere. But Timmy deserves it. I shall give this some considerations.

Like, say, Doyle-murdering.Or Lilah-murdering, or Connor-murdering, or Cordy-murdering.
Strega once asked me if I didn't have anything better to do with my time.
Hey, you make me sound mean!
...yeah, okay, but I didn't say that in a mean way. I don't have anyhing better to do than come up with sociological theories about fandom, after all.
Allyson, have you read "Xenogenesis"?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, have you read "Xenogenesis"?
Octavia Butler?

...yeah, okay, but I didn't say that in a mean way. I don't have anyhing better to do than come up with sociological theories about fandom, after all.That's not mean. If my friend keeps banging his head against the wall and then complains of a headache, the first thing I say to him is bound to be, "Um, maybe you should stop banging your head against the wall."
When fandom had me completely crazed once, an old Bronzer said to me, "Is any of this going to matter in five years?"
Taking that in was like seeing for the first time, or at least for the first time in a long time.
