I hate the reaction phase. We don't know the whole story yet, and we don't know how it will play out (in terms of speculation over the show being picked up by another network, or the WB making tv movies and the like), and all we can do is react to the horrible news. I'm trying to be optimistic about the show and the fandom, but of course it will all end eventually.
And I know there's still half a season to enjoy ... and the season has only just started here in Australia ... but I feel ghoulish watching it when it's semi-dead. Or something. I was totally spoiled for BtVS 7. I knew Spike was going to die months and months before we saw it on tv here, and I felt the same about that ... like watching a dead (extra dead) character.
(Sorry to shove this into your LJ. I have no-one in ordinary life to talk to about these things, and my LJ isn't fandom oriented.)
Have decided the best way to deal with it is to write more fic. Even if no-one reads it.
