Well, you know my thoughts on fan fic so I'm not gonna insult your intelligence or lie to you and say anything wonderful about AAS, 'cause hey, not my thing. But I'm really, really impressed with all the wonderful comments here by others, so I'm going to assume it kicks major fan fic butt and for that reason I'm glad you're gonna keep it going for awhile.
Having said that...I've been on the bad end of fandom, albeit in another one, and I stuck it out way after the fun was gone for me. I just really don't recommend it; it can really suck the life right out of you, if fandom means anything to you, which it obviously does. While I don't share your views on Spike, or even your passion for him, you have become very important to me, and that's my priority, not the show or a character on it or anything else.
So you do what is best for you, and I'm just gonna keep bein' here, reading your LJ to see what you're up to (loved your review of the Cruxshadows), supporting whatever you want to do with your life, and hoping we can hang at another con - or even just in the Big Apple or here in the Big Smoke - sharing laughs and thoughts.
