Fandoms I Have Loved 6: Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Today I realized I was more than halfway through Buffy the Vampire Slayer. (Or, actually, I realized my Best Beloved was, but more on that later.) What better way to celebrate my approaching familiarity – or, rather, acquaintance – with this fine series than by writing a Fandoms I Have Loved for it? Sure, some people might say you should get to know the whole canon before, you know, writing about it or summarizing it for others. Those people would be wrong. Obviously.

( Giles have I loved, but Angel have I hated. And I'm still fairly undecided about Buffy herself. )
