Fannish statement of purpose.

I am...

...a Buffy fan. And as a Buffy fan, I believe...
         ...that Xander and Anya were meant to be.
         ...that Buffy needs to get over herself.
         ...that good Buffy/Faith is a thing of beauty.
         ...that Joss made mistakes, but also created something beautiful.
         ...that Dawn deserved better characterization.
         ...that there was no choice in 'Chosen'.
         ...that the show fell down when it became a metaphor.
         ...that Buffy/Spike is a valid 'ship, especially if you allow Angel his soul-based redemption.
         ...that in the end, it was probably bunnies.

...an Angel fan. And as an Angel fan, I believe...
         ...that Lorne got the short end of the stick.
         ...that if they wanted Fred to be a physicist, they should have hired a real one to check her dialogue.
         ...that puppet cancer is the best thing ever.
         ...that evil hand problems should be a valid reason to miss a day at work.
         ...that ascension is never the answer.
         ...that being female? Yeah, that's suicidal.
         ...that killing your Mary Sue makes a great point.
         ...that sometimes if they really love you, they'll lie to you.

...a Veronica Mars fan. And as a Veronica Mars fan, I believe...
         ...that Wallace and Veronica are just good friends.
         ...that if Logan and Veronica get together, it's because Rob wants them together, not because of fan pressure.
         ...that I want Logan and Veronica to get together. I'm sad that way.
         ...that the laws of noir are many and flexible.
         ...and crossing them with Josie and the Pussycats brings me joy.
         ...that the point is not to make Veronica miserable by subverting the natural flow of the story.
         ...that Rob has not yet betrayed my trust, and so I will continue to trust him.
         ...that whoever killed Lilly Kane, it will make sense when we find out the truth.
         ...that we will find out the truth.

...an X-Men fan. And as an X-Men fan, I believe...
         ...it's time for Jean Grey to stay dead. Sorry, Rachel.
         ...that Marvel really needs to hire better continuity checkers.
         ...that new characters can be just as good as the ones we've known for twenty years.
         ...that I don't trust Joss alone in a room with Scott and Emma's relationship.
         ...moreover, that Scott/Emma is the best thing to happen to Scott Summers in twenty years.
         ...that trade paperbacks have saved the X-universe.
         ...that nothing is cooler than the Stepford Cuckoos.

...a Doctor Who fan. And as a Doctor Who fan, I believe...
         ...that the Doctor does not have romantic relationships with his Companions.
         ...unless it's Ace (the Yin-Yang series) or Thea (the Synesthesia Trilogy), but wow do you have to sell it.
         ...that Paul McGann was a better Doctor than people give him credit for.
         ...that Sylvester McCoy's Doctor may never be topped.
         ...that there are no problems that cannot be solved through suitable application of nitro nine.
         ...that Daleks are scary.
         ...that somewhere, there's a world where the sky is on fire and cities dream.
         ...that it never should have gone off the air.

...a Dark Tower fan. And as a Dark Tower fan, I believe...
         ...that it isn't over; we're just not allowed to watch any more.
         ...that everyone involved made some bad choices.
         ...that Oy was just as integral as everyone else.
         ...that it was inevitable. Say thankee.
         ...that in the end, Roland understands.

...and O.C. fan. And as an O.C. fan, I believe...
         ...that it's really about the Cohens plus one.
         ...that Seth and Summer are meant to be.
         ...that Marissa will look horrible in her bridesmaid dress, but everyone will say she looks great.
         ...that Ryan is one broken puppy.
         ...that Lindsey should've stayed.
         ...that Josh Schwartz needs to fire his Romanian au pair and stay home with the baby.
         ...that nothing enlivens a scene like Julie Cooper.
         ...that Marissa needs to eat something. Like an entire musk ox.
         ...that we need to back off the drama long enough to take a deeeeeeeep breath.

...an Electric Knights fan. And as an EK fan, I believe...
         ...that they'll solve the quest eventually.
         ...that Carol Anne really did commit suicide at the end of season two.
         ...that Oscar and Drusilla should have the chance to be happy.
         ...but they won't.
         ...that we're going to have a lot of deaths, real soon.
         ...that Elaine deserves better.
         ...that Bunny knows more than she's telling, even now.
         ...that we're not going to like what happens when we get to Atlantis.
         ...that we'll be going back to Camelot eventually, and we won't like that, either.

buffy, ek, television, angel, x-men
