I'm happy to be here: it's been a long time since I last used a forum and I'm glad that some are still around! I'm familiar with BB by way of lurking (or, watching, one could say) and I thought I'd finally make an account and say hello, because, why not?

I've been a fan of Buffy and Angel for a long time, it's easily my oldest fandom and it's always going to be near and dear to my heart. I recently began a rewatch for the billionth time and I'm almost on season 3. I can appreciate nearly all of the characters but my favourites are: Willow, Giles, Glory, Kate and Lilah. I'm also an avid collector of Buffy merch and I've been lucky enough to have some awesome encounters with lots of the cast. Most of my friendships were forged from having a mutual interest in Buffy and I also credit the show with helping me come out: I owe it a great deal!

In the 'real world', I'm a Classics student, investor and autograph collector. My other fave show is Lost and I've written some truly unholy crossovers involving the Scoobies and The Island. Speaking of: I love writing fan fic and roleplaying!

Once again, I'm super grateful to have this space and I hope to contribute more over time!

What a username, anything to do with the old English pop group Transvision Vamp?
Hi! Welcome to the boards. 🙂 Feel free to look around and post some of your fanfic! We would love to have it.
 
Lol, ”truly unholy crossovers”, love it. And great to have you here!

What’s the ”coolest” or ”best” autograph you feel like you have in your collection? And which ones are you dying to get? 😄

I may just do that! I have a few ideas in mind right now for some upcoming stuff, hopefully I'll be able to actualise them when I have some time off soon 💖

just had to say that I love your avatar and sig, nice to see another Kate/Kangel enjoyer!

they're such good questions, I love every autograph I have but I think my absolute faves would have to be Aly (personalised to me & on my fave photo of her, no less!), SMG, the late and great Brittany Murphy, Aubrey Plaza, Michelle Rodriguez, and Anya Taylor-Joy: they're faves not only because I deeply love all of them but also because they took a lot of time and effort to obtain so that makes them extra special!

In terms of dying to get, I would love to get a personalised autograph from Alyssa Milano, she's the only Charmed One I haven't been able to get a personalised autograph from so far. Other top priorities are Rashida Jones, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox - all pretty tough to get since they don't do the con circuit/private signings. Oh, and I'm waiting for autographs from Neve Campbell and Charisma so I'm excited for them to arrive!

Welcome. I first joined BB in 2018, though I was a lurker for years from around 2011 so I know the feeling. Glory, Kate and Lilah are a few of my favourite characters too.

absolutely love your sig! I think I've been lurking on BB for probably about as long, over a decade for sure 😳 and it's great to meet someone else with impeccable taste!

Aw, Brittany Murphy ❤️ (and thanks! :) )
Welcome to the forum! If you have been lurking, you will notice that we tend to be civil as a default setting but that sometimes gets a temporary adjustment. We tend to have intelligent discussions here with a lot of different opinions that we can discuss at length. It sounds like you are well-versed in the story so by all means, hit the ground running and start offering your opinions and stories. And yes, a lot of people would be interested in your collection of Buffyverse merchandise.
 
Glad you’re here! I hope you are enjoying yourself so far. Please post some thoughts as you go through your current rewatch! And if you like reading Buffy/Angel, we’re currently doing a Book Club on “Queen of the Slayers” and it’s not too late to join! ❤️

Well, you could always find out where they live, get a patio chair, and sit outside their home until they give you an autograph. It's not really stalking. But you didn't hear that from me. 😋

Welcome to the boards, by the way!

I heard it’s only stalking if you have binoculars.

thank you for the warm welcome! your username is absolutely iconic (something I recently learned about myself: I'm a huge Ethan fan) 👑 this might be a silly question, but, my stories are hosted on AO3 and my collection is on a Wix website, are those links OK to share? or would I be better off embedding?

I love that you have a book club! I have a special place in my heart for Buffy novellas so I'll have to check it out! 💖

Hi, many greets, are you enjoying yourself here? Now that you've been here for, ooh, hours!
When you do get that elusive autograph from Alyssa Milano ask her about the fish tank she had put in her home ' not long ago '.
