Okay, this is Stage 1 of the experiment. Our first goal is to have a place to talk about 1) the Buffyverse fandom, 2) B/A, and 3) anything, and to have it be a resource that people actually use.
To that end, I'll be making regular posts in this blog about the Buffyverse fandom, B/A, and anything, and anyone is free to comment whenever they like, as often as they like. You do not have to stay on topic. Challenge what I'm saying, add a few random observations on it, tell us what you'd like to hear about instead, post a selfie, examine the sociopolitical ramifications of breeding dusky conures, whatever.
The idea is that active discussions will be inspired by having a talking point to start off with, and can evolve or wither naturally. Just be aware that nobody is obliged to be interested in the same things that you are, and that loud and angry disagreements will be permitted though not fostered, and self-govern accordingly.
More rules may be developed as they become necessary, but for now, I have the final word on whether your comment is objectionable or otherwise not contributing to a healthy community, and I don't have to explain myself before I delete it.
Since this site is going to be my fanfiction archive as well as a hangout for everyone, I'll start out by posting to the blog every time I update it with a story. You can reply to the posts with "I loved/hated this story because", or you can say something else entirely, or nothing at all. Eventually I may expand to hosting B/A fanfiction from other writers, and use the blog to encourage public discussion about it.
So here we are. Go ahead and introduce yourself, throw around some suggestions, or just jump right into the chit-chat. Nothing to lose!
