I admit I was just absolutely verklempt when Lexi sent me the link and I felt so bad that I didn't have a direct way to say thank you, so I'm so glad you saw it. *blushes* And that you enjoy yourself here. Thank you SO much for the free PR!
I still love shipping but actually dealing with it in fandom, even for ships I like, gets me really tired. In fact this is especially true for ships I like, because those are the parts of fandom I'm most often exposed to.
I was agreeing with your comments - and still do. I wasn't aware that it was part of some greater conversation or kerfuffle. (I guess?) I don't think that kerfuffle ever really ends anyway, it just flares up now and then. I'm not anti-shipper by any means. I ship all sorts of pairings on the show.
But after reading Spuffy fic and conversations for a while I began to wonder if there was as much Buffy hatred in other shipping factions and - sadly, yes, there is. And every shipping faction thinks they are absolutely different to every other. They aren't they really are not. We're all fans of the show, in the end.
And your name really is lovely, how did you come up with it? I love the imagery and snowdrops are one of my favorite flowers.
