I think I like the comic just because it's something Buffy. I'm a few issues behind, which means I must not love it too much since they are sitting on a shelf waiting to be read. But some Buffy is better than no Buffy.
The story I was really wanting to vote for was the Giles/Buffy post-"Becoming" one.
I've only joined Buffy fandom in the last year, so if this is quiet and moribund, it's still the only Buffy fandom I know. :) For what it's worth, I know a number of other people in the Spike/Buffy corner of fandom who've also just gotten involved in the last year or two.
The BG post-Becoming story is the one I've just finished and am pondering for a bit before I post. So that one soon!
I also joined the fandom after the show had concluded, so I haven't ever seen the really hot, active, angry, ship-warring version. Which honestly I don't mind having missed!
It is all sort of h/c-ish all over, though not really intensely so. Just sort of h/c shimmering throughout. "Becoming" was a bit of a brutal episode for our heroes.
I've never read that! GEB was a huge influence on me as a college student, though-- what an amazing book. If you let yourself get into it, Hofstadter taught you the propositional calculus and stepped you through the whole proof. While being vastly entertaining and clever. What a book. Hmm. Should read it again. It's been 20+ years.
Now I'm tempted to go back and try it again. I admit that the first time I picked it up I was a teenager and not ready to grapple with GEB and then again in my twenties I actually read the whole thing, but I liked the abstract ideas more than the math. Now I'm ready to seriously absorb :)

There are people out there writing, just not many of them.
I think I've given up on the comic after hearing about which of the Scoobies hooked up. *sigh* (Too bad Chen can't do the inside are too.)

And, me neither. I like my fannishness enthusiastic but civil; there's no way I'd voluntarily bring that kind of drama into my life. Yech.
