BTVS fandom gripe

[timepiececlock]

I have to stop reading other people's episode summaries.

I just have to... stop.

I was happy. Really, really, happy. And other people's comments are making me feel depressed, and what's more making me bad for liking the show.

Unlike a lot of you, I like this show, I like this season, and I liked the last episode.

And I don't want to be made to feel bad for actually liking my favorite show on tv.

So I'm just going to skip all the episode summaries for the next 2 weeks until it ends. Or, most of them. I'll probably break and read a few. I'm weak.

But instead I'll be commenting on icons and fic and random stuff, rather than ep response/discussion.

ETA: This is not meant to pinpoint one specific person. And see previous post where I said I :heart: you all and want to read your fic. Just not ep summaries, for another 14 or so days.

My feelings are quite the opposite. Most everyone in the Buffy LJ community, aside for three authors (and you know that's very small number considering just how many Buffy-verse authors there are with LJ's) that I've friended or lurk around seem to fall under under one of two categories: optimista or severe pollyanista and it can be right lonesome and not to mention annoying let me tell you. I don't let it sway my opinions though. I know what I want to watch and if I don't get I'm not going to make excuses for Joss and the other creative geniuses over at ME Productions. I've taken to not reading summary posts for the very same reason you don't wish to read summary posts. I don't want to be made to see a light that's not there. But that's me. Aside from my own personal post and those three others, on average, the reaction of this week's eps has been the same as it has been the whole season really: Uberly Optimistic. So don't feel like you're in the minority. If you've been enjoying the shows this season than fuck what anybody else has to say and bask in the afterglow they bring you. And I'll continue to bitch and moan like a crotchety discontended cow ^^

Crotchety, perhaps, but I would not call you a cow... ;)

Maybe everyone pays ntoo much attention to what everyone else says. We're a fandom of people who talk to much. :g:

Aw shucks ma'am, but I'm not gonna front. I'll def be the old lady on the porch, sitting on the rocking chair with the cat on my lap, muttering at the passerbys. It's just a part of my charm ;)

True that. Not even the other anime/tv show related communities that I've joined prattle away as much as the BtVS/AtS communities.
