I love Jeff/Annie so much I cannot talk about them. Thus I have nothing smart to add to this post cause I LOVE THEM SO FREAKING MUCH THAT I JUST CAN'T TALK ABOUT THEM.

I want to be one of those thoughtful and intelligent fans when it comes to Community and Jeff/Annie, but I think we both know that that's just not going to happen. But that's okay! BECAUSE, FOR ONCE, FANDOM LOVES THE SHIP I LOVE WITH A FIERY PASSION. COMMUNITY FANDOM, YOU'RE PRETTY OKAY. (Even if I could do without some of the butthurt whiners. :P)

Yeah, I think Jeff/Annie has a lot of insightful fans that can do that work for us. And the awesome fic. oh the fic.

(in a way i find it funny, because 90% of my flist is Jeff/Britta so i'm kind of used to a non-Jeff/Annie enviroment, but as soon as i step out of my flist it hits me how many people love this pairing with a passion. and i don't even want to whine about how the Jeff/Annie fans got treated by Jeff/Britta fans during the week prior to the finale; i almost believed that i really was a delusional bitch when in fact the Jeff/Annie had been building slowly during the whole season in a way that the outcome of the finale was entirely satisfying. and i mean OBJETIVELY satisfying, nevermind what you ship, it was narratively satifying in way that no other ending would have been. whoever says otherwise are blinded by bias.)

I have been amazed at some of the writing for this ship--and bless you for the link! *___*

In theory I can sort of understand the feeling, because the show clearly was setting up Jeff/Britta early on and a lot of people may have felt they signed up for that show. I can get that. But Jeff/Annie had the kind of chemistry a lot of people picked up on and, I'll admit, there were times when I thought I was a delusional shipper, too. But looking back over the season, it really was there. Not major moments, but how else do you interpret Annie dressing more professor-like once Jeff started dating Slater? You don't have to like it, but it didn't come out of nowhere. And that finale was great on all levels, not just from a shipping standpoint. And, as long as the show keeps the funny coming, I think I'll be happy with it.

(Though, I will stop to say that most of the Jeff/Britta fans I've encountered are actually pretty cool! It's generally more the OMG WHY ARE THERE SHIPPERS IN MY FANDOM IT IS RUUUUUUINNNNNNEDD!!! fans that tend to

god, that fic, it's the best thing ever. everything dollsome writes is just amazing.

I don't know, I guess I have always saw it as Jeff's story (yes, the show is an ensemble show, but also basically Jeff's story) and for me it kind of makes sense that while the Jeff/Britta has been very much in-your-face the whole Jeff/Annie has been more subtext (& clever subtext at that) than anything. Because Britta is a conscious choice for Jeff, while Annie is not. And for me the first season has been all about Jeff having thing happened to him that he never wanted, and finding out that these are actually good things. And for me this is reflected in these three relationships Jeff has: how he goes after Britta because he wants her, and he goes after Slater because he thinks it's good for him, but the whole Annie thing sort of happened to him without Jeff even realizing (but it had been happening for a long time) and in the end this sort of accident was what felt good and right and natural for him
