I've seen "buffista" used in print (to mean generic Buffy fan) more than once.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Is it better the second time around? Or the third? Or tenth? This is the place to come when you have a burning desire to talk about an old episode that was just re-run.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
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.

What is even happening?
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?

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

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Really? Huh.
