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.
Mercy is the mark of a great man. Guess I'm just a good man. Well, I'm all right.

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.

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?

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.

Huh. I had completely forgotten that, but yeah, I think you're right.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Rivka K and Mustang Sally- they had their fanfiction up there, (the David Bowie named Buffy/Spike stories). I am remembering now
