My Love Letter to Buffy the Vampire Slayer

[cordelianne]

I wish dating was like slaying: you know, simple, direct, stake to the heart, no muss, no fuss. (btvs 2:16)

Since the state of my actual love life is dicey, I decided to be all sappy and sentimental about my favourite tv show instead.

This is so lovely! One of my favorite things about this fandom is having this rich canon of characters and episodes and moments that we all know and form connections through. I really enjoyed hearing about your viewing parties, the way you got into the fandom, and specific moments as well as broader arcs that captured your attention.

I nodded at your friend's statement about something that moved her:
It’s like how I feel after a really good Buffy episode. You know what I mean.
Yes, most definitely. <3

Wonderful read!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Recently I've just been filled with such love for the show and fandom that I had to share it!

Oh yes! It's really cool that every fan has their relationship with aspects of the show.

Love your icon!!

This love letter brought tears to my eyes because I feel the same and always will. You summed up loving this show so perfectly. I especially loved the part about never being embarassed for having the "Buffy" DVD's. So true! Thank you for posting this and making me fallen in love with my show all over again.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Kate :)

What a lovely post. Just the other day, I came across a Buffy/Angel vs Buffy/Spike debate on livejournal, almost three years after you ended, that’s awesome!...She said “It’s like how I feel after a really good Buffy episode. You know what I mean.” Oh yes, I think every fan of you knows exactly how she feels! We're a lucky bunch to have such a wonderful show to enjoy over and over.

What a lovely tribute to the show. A nice reminder of why we should all feel so grateful. And how lucky you were to be able to watch the show as it was shown in real time and get that feeling of "Wow!". And to have OMWF as the episode that wins you over is wonderful too :)
Trust me: we really were speaking in caps.
Heh!
Thanks for sharing this very personal but heartwarming post.
