I am posting on that forum as WhoIsRiver. And I will step away from the keyboard very shortly...
Here's a laugh: At the top of that post, you'll see it mentioned that Zoid doesn't use SM.org because of equality reasons. This is because he joined, and made 5 ranting posts calling me anti-ladies because I removed -- wait for it -- nude photos of a member that had been posted, with the men wading in with "I'll be in my bunk". I took issue to it, under the opinion that I don't want to pay for a porn site. But, that was anti-equality, note. I should have offered to let the male members posts pictures of their cocks, but didn't think of that at the time.
...Maybe.
Yes, it's me, but don't hold my posts against me - that's my alter Fireflyfans.net ego. Or something.
Right, because you couldn't be a true fan had you ever seen even a part of a promo for any thing else that Joss had ever done before.
That weird reverse snobbery that some browncoats have really bugs me. Oh, You can't be a real Firefly fan if you were a Buffy fan before. What's the mandarin for "Bite me, snapperhead"?
I think, in fairness, a lot of the browncoats who didn't like Buffy disappeared from the fandom when OMG!WASH. And I would say I'm being snarky here, but actually I'm just tired and cranky - which is far more sexy.
I came late to Buffy (I saw the movie and was not predisposed to like the show), but fell hard when I did. I watched Angel because of Buffy, and loved it too. I liked the characters better on Buffy, but I liked the stories of early Angel better.
I watched Firefly because of Buffy and Angel, and love it best of all. It had my favorite characters AND my favorite stories. There are other good shows, but Firefly remains my One True Show. But I guess I don't count. Who knew.
libkitty, I count you. As like, a nice sane person. (Well, I think/hope).
So, what you're saying is that by the time Wash died, people who had been Buffy or Angel had been hardened by the deaths of Jenny Calendar, Joyce, Tara, Buffy (several times), Doyle, Fred, Wes, etc so we just weren't bothered by it?
actually I'm just tired and cranky - which is far more sexy.
Yeah! I must be soooooo sexy right now!
As like, a nice sane person. (Well, I think/hope).
You may be a bit optimistic, but I try. Thanks!
Libkitty is me.
Best compliment evah!
And now, I must, you know, work. Meh.
