Can it really be?
Many thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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. :)

And after seeing it I went to read fanfiction.After knowing that it was the end I started reading fanfiction. Around March 2003. So over five years reading now and still reading :))Made the end of Chosen easier to bear. I saw it right from the begin. (In Germany we're later so I read about the series and was hooked before it started. I've read about it on paper, btw. Did only have Internet since 1999.)

Where did time go?

Same here. Although at first I was just reading reviews (Sky One were re-broadcasting all of Buffy, so I was re-watching & recording everything). Fanfiction came after about half a year. And then another half year later I started writing...
I saw it right from the begin.
We saw *most* of it. Didn't watch S3 at the time because 'Becoming' was so angsty and I didn't want my heart broken again.
