And to think, there wasn't even a OMG-HE-REALLY-LURVES-ME hot actor type at the center of it all.

Sounds like (another) fandom story I'm clueless on. :-)

shadowlass steered me to the msscribe thing and I read it yesterday. Seriously, I was just going to glance at it, get the gist, but I was totally riveted. Couldn't tear myself away til the bitter end. It was sad and scary and wierd and bizarre and etc. Read like a good true crime book - one of my past guilty pleasures.

I've never seen anything like the vaunted Inner Circle in the Buffy fandom, and if it exists, I don't think I want to know about it.

See you in - yikes! three weeks!
