Following on from the conversation with Isabelle that I posted, I was just wondering how many people out there have been watching Buffy since it first started. I seem to keep running across people who say 'I don't like the early stuff because Spike's not in it'
That makes me kind of sad. I've been watching this show since it first aired on Sky and to me it about a lot more than just Spike. I love all the characters and I love seeing how they've developed over the years. Am I alone in this?
It's early. Bah. I'm gonna do the first and last line thing. Oh, and I shan't be doing all 30+ Fluffy files or I'll be here all night. I'm also not including any collaborations I've done with other authors. There are just my solo fics. Oh, and for the record I make no pretense at being any good. I just enjoy doing it
