skygiantsThings accomplished today:
1. Handed in finished creative writing project, with cover letter and everything, five minutes before deadline. Yay!
2. Had obligatory panic attack because I couldn't remember where to turn in seminar essay. Not unexpected!
3. Handed in finished seminar essay two hours before deadline. Was first one there, which explains panic attack, resolved when second person there came to hand in her essay. Yay!
4. Painted tea mug at Color Me Mine, because we have nothing to do at work until January and thus it was decreed that we would take today to go paint things and each acquire our own personal tea mug. With money from the keep-workers-happy budget. Because my job and boss are awesome. GREAT YAY!
Therefore, basking in the glow, I join the herd. Unpopular Fandom Opinions meme!
The rules:
01. Post this on your journal.
02. Your friends will comment with some of your fandoms or some general topic about fandom.
03. In a new post (or in comments) respond back with one or two of your unpopular opinions for that fandom or topic.
Caveat: I don't actually know a lot of what's unpopular. Um. So I put a popular opinion by accident, oops?

Date: 2006-12-12 04:43 am (UTC)I have not seen all of Buffy, but I know more about Buffy fandom. (I think.) So:
- I like Dawn. (You know that already, but.) I like that she is believably little-sister-y and I like her relationship with the Scoobies, because, dude, they were all Dawns once. And so are we.
- I miss Buffy's dad. He should reappear! Somehow! In a way that makes it clear he is still existent and did not get eaten by Europe.
- I like Buffy okay, but she is nowhere near my favorite character. I think I find the show more interesting when it is about the ordinary folks coping with this strangeness in their lives and in their friend (or about Giles being Giles) and not about Buffy being emo about her powers. She has every right to be emo, I just find it less interesting.
- I don't hate Spike, even in 6 and 7, when he is being wacky. And I really do enjoy his relationships with Joyce and Dawn. (Joyce, especially. They make me laugh.) I was even okay with him having a crush on Buffy. I just . . . really wish he wasn't OMG In Love With Her.
- Clem makes me happy. There is not enough Clemfic out there!
- There are some Season 6 episodes I confess I really love. Notably, these are the really cheesy ones - the memory-loss episode with Anya/Giles (HAH) and the one with Buffy working retail in the Magic Shop. Mostly I'm just easily amused.
- I actually really like most of the Potentials. The really tall geeky one whose name I'm blanking on especially. Kennedy is sort of an exception to this; she leaves me eh. But I do not think that is an unpopular opinion, so.
- I liked Xander and Anya, and I was sad when they broke up.
- I secretly do not think the First Slayer mythology makes any sense.
