Is there a shelf life on obsession?

ASK ME ANYTHING

I will never be multi-fannish. I know this. I am a Cocker Spaniel of fandom loyalty. My Buffyverse investment wanes and ebbs, but it never subsides. It's currently cranked up to 11. I've been spending my snow days re-watching eps (currently season seven, two and five, in no particular order) and reading and re-reading fic (and leaving comments because I am AWESOME!) uploading fic to archives and reading old meta and scribbling a line or two of fic (yeah, I have no illusions about how that will turn out) and all-out wallowing in a love for the Buffyverse that will never die. It pops out of my subconscious in random quotes and geeky non sequiturs. Reading the fic makes me want to be a better writer; watching the show makes me want to be a better person. And to quote the prescient Miss Dionne Warwick, I know I'll never love this way again.

And I'm pretty much exhausting cityphonelines and lunabee34 with my shiny (old) obsession. So.

IP logging is always off (stalk me, all ye young and tender maidens) anonymous comments are always on: Ask me anything about the Buffyverse. About 'ships (canon and unconventional.) About plotlines controversial or contrived. About characters and my love or lack thereof. About the Buffy fandom that was, and what little I see of the Buffy fandom that is. Ask my opinion of a fic you wrote if you want honesty (I'll squee if I squee, I'll email if I concrit.) Ask me about a fic I wrote, or one I didn't write, or one I should have. Ask me about Buffy's coats or Xander's shoes, Cordy's hair or Giles' eyes. Ask me why I love Xander, or why I love, hell, Vi. I don't care.

Ask me anything, just let me talk about my Buffy-love because Caza's heard it all for 10 years and Jonah's 18-month-old contribution is to yell, "Kitty-cat!" whenever Angel vamps out and growls. (I shit you not -- it's a thing of beauty and joy forever.)

ASK ME ANYTHING -- as long as you're humming Nerf Herder under your breath.

I saw it as a standard funeral dress with the slit up the back, like, they said "bury our friend, we're inconsolable" and they went the general route?

Also, I STILL LOVE EVERYTHING, even the things I didn't. :)

Ahh, but see I always imagined that didn't use a funeral home, because her death wasn't listed on record (Hank didn't know) and they were trying to hide it (hence burying her in the woods.) So in my plan (where they were beltless) Xander built the coffin, Tara made the lining, Giles, Spike & Xander dug the grave and the girls prepared her body. It's more hurty that way. ;)

And I STILL LOVE EVERYTHING! It really is to me a forever naked musical. With goats. And hahaha -- I've never seen your icon before. (And in related news -- I still get: "Dance for me! Express your love in dance! stuck in my head. In fact, I've said it to Jonah.)

Hmm, I forgot about the location they buried her. Maybe they bought the coffin and dress in a deal on Ebay? :D

Well, hell, if you can find an Urn of Osiris on Ebay, surely they have top of line, satin-lined titanium! (You can, in fact, find coffins on Ebay. And they are a BARGAIN! Starting at $499! I'd go ahead and snag one, but I don't have the counter space.)

I've been thinking about fave Buffy and fandom moments (um, obvs) and hands down -- threading with you and Dovil regardless of topic. Fandom's about porn to some, fic and meta to others, but it was social to me. Demented and sad, but social.
