Or maybe you're less, because you're rejecting Joss-approved works in the universe.
that raises an interesting question -- if the creator creates an AU, is that canon or no? or is it new canon? or is it "comic book canon"? hmmmmmmm
And the original vision may just be the movie.
nah. Joss said that the movie wasn't true to his original vision
(umm, you know that I'm just playing devil's advocate because I'm bored, right? I don't really care)
I've seen "buffista" used in print (to mean generic Buffy fan) more than once.
Which is disturbing the fuck out of me as well.
A world of ewww and nooooooo!
damn, we should have trademarked. I mean, we were using buffista as early as 1997 or 98
Yeah, I see it used as a term for Buffy fans in general from time to time. I know it was at TeeVee.org recently. And Google turns up "Buffista" on Usenet back in 1998.
I know someone else had buffista.com at some point; I express surprise that it's frequently used in another context just because we seem to have this conversation whenever it happens.
I knew the term "Buffistas" long before I knew about The Buffistas. In fact, there were no "Buffistas" when the term was first applied to the TT Buffy thread at Salon, right?
I know someone else had buffista.com at some point;
They still do
I'm not sure if this is who had it way back when, but I'm pretty sure Dana knew the fan in question.
ita, if you go to buffista.com, you get a directory. Choose the second option (marty) and see the page: [link]
Okay, probably not that amusing, but it tickled me, given the Buffy-smells-of-vanilla conversation in Natter.
