Can it really be?

[elisi]

Many thanks to avrelia for remembering - today, 5 years ago, Chosen aired for the first time.

It is a strange anniversary for me, because although it meant the end of the show (which makes me sad), it was also the point that made me turn to the internet and which made me discover fandom. Fic, vids, artwork and all you wonderful, wonderful people - where would I be without you?

Most of us have found shiny new things to play with, even though we still love Buffy. But what's important, I think, is that Buffy is the benchmark, the standard that everything else gets measured against. And that speaks volumes.

(Also it is all I have time for right now. But I still love that show, oh so very, very much. I still remember watching 'The Witch' - the first ever ep I saw - and being impressed with how fun and clever it was. Although it took until FFL to really hook me. And it was the final moments of 'Grave' that sent me spinning into obsession - I can't even *remember* my reaction to the AR...)

ETA: All together now: I Miss Buffy The Vampire Slayer...

ETA: My Chosen meta (in case anyone wants to indulge in nostalgia with me). Lots of links at the end. :)

I was a late comer to BtVS ... in fact it was stumbling onto these last few episodes ... and seeing a gorgeous vampire, that got me hooked - and I had to back-track

But I agree it is still my #1 fandom - and what led me to the internet ... and thus to LJ and "chatting" to you.

Thanks for the reminder, even though it doesn't mean quite as much to me as a date - still ana mazing episode.

I think that happened to a lot of people! ;)

I can't imagine life without fandom & Buffy. *clings*

Same here, although it is nice to have a fixed date to celebrate!
