Spuffy Poll Tiems

[xlivvielockex]

While I have been reading LJ, I haven't been participating much in terms of commenting because of graduate school slash real life. But it seems to me, in my very narrow flist reading, that there has been some debate the past few weeks over Spuffy.

As in do people who ship Spuffy side with Spike more or Buffy more? Do they hate Buffy? Do they hate Spike? Do they woobify Spike too much? I could go on and on. I love seeing these kind of debates, that we are still talking in this fandom about these things.

It really got me to thinking about Spuffy lately as I drive the 90 minutes to and 90 minutes back from campus. This is the poll I came up with, the one that I think really needs to be asked of the Spuffy fandom (and of those who think about Spuffy as a ship, positive or negative)

Yeah, most people do seem to hate S6, but I'm definitely not one of them. I could never hate the season that gave us that much Spuffy and Giles/Anya.

No, I haven't.

Again, it really depends where you "hang out" as I found out quickly - I was thrilled to find people who appreciated S6 on LJ and that's why I opened an account here - to be able to interact with like minds. (The "general fandom" went on about how AWFUL Doublemeat Palace is, for instance. Are they insane? I've never worked in fast food but retail has much the same feel, the same soullessness about it, so it felt so familiar.) And yes to spuffy, and Giles/Anya, and Tabula Rasa - so funny AND heartbreaking.

Oh, and I find a greater appreciation of S4 in these parts as well - I think that season deserves serious re-evaluation.
