I've read with a kind of disengagement? detachment? a discussion on lj about Spike ..like I would follow from afar things going on in a country where I used to wander all the time with great pleasure. It doesn't grab my interest anymore.
It happened often in the past weeks.Well, I wasn't really participating since the beginning of July, to be honest.

My love for the Spuffy story is untouched though but the never ending threads about the show and the why and how leave me cold now.I see why some people ( mostly coming into fandom recently ) have fun getting excited about discussing it but I'm pretty satisfied standing in the shadows.I still love well written fics madly.
Maybe it's the end of an era.

because I feel very much the same way (and have for a good while) Hee, I don't know if you noticed the date ( this entry was posted a little more than one year ago ) but I'm still pretty much in the same state of mind and I'm not really surprised to hear you sharing my pov. I think many 'older' Btvs fans feel alike and yes we could say that we're all argued out.
Maybe it's that there's no new insights to be gained? To me there isn't , that's for sure because I know where I stand but I guess that there are new insights sometimes and I can see why some threads call for a lengthy response - but ! I 'm not interested. :-)

::waves back:: It's a nifty and rather pretty place indeed , even if I'm still pondering what exactly to do with this corner of online life.:)
I believe it may become a good spot to interact in case a majority moves here.

Yes I did, and it made me smile. And feel old! ;)

It's good that there are so many new fans fighting our battles for us, isn't it? Also I must admit to Doctor Who having stolen my time - new canon is very addictive!

Same here. Might start cross-posting properly, and - as you say - it's good to have in case fandom moves!

Also I must admit to Doctor Who having stolen my time - new canon is very addictive! Oh I believe you ! I'm still in the process of gathering my thoughts on the beginning of s.5 and I will check out some meta. It's new territories and it's exciting.
My love for Btvs and especially Spuffy is untouched but it feels like everything has been said and done - also, as you know , comics aren't the real Buffyverse to me so while it's always lovely to see fans involved in many discussions, it's not my thing.

Might start cross-posting properly I should do it too, maybe in the next weeks!
