A little poll on our involvement

Jan 22, 2011 11:46

I’ve noticed in the different threads on comics related stuff that sometimes there was some kind of disenchanting vibes about the verse in general
Here’s a poll about the Buffyverse and our ties to it, creatively or /and emotionally speaking.You can pick several choices.
Poll

A lot of what bogwitch said. I've been thinking about it, and the thing is that I've been moving on for a long time. I submerged myself so thoroughly in Buffy that I've said everything I wanted to say, really, meta-wise. When I re-watch, I love it still, but I don't have any new insights. All of which is perfectly normal when there's no new canon to sink my teeth into. (The comics aren't new canon, they're... anti-canon. They attack my show and if I were to acknowledge them as a continuation I'd have to throw everything else I've written out of the window.)

But I love my friends here, and I love the show, and I even have more fic I need to write. So... I hate what the comics have done to the fandom, but they don't affect my own view.

Totally agree apart from the bit about still writing fanfic. I'm not and nothing else has ever inspired me to write.

I love that the show has been such a beautiful, unique source of inspiration for many of us.

While I do enjoy fictions, I read less than before ( also because there’s less produced than before) and parts of myself certainly have moved on, even if it’s difficult to admit it. And really I said everything I wanted to say too.

But I love my friends here, and I love the show Yeah! :)

I hate what the comics have done to the fandom, but they don't affect my own view. Exactly.
