Ah, my sweet, much of what you've written here could be from my own head as well! I have met such wonderful people by joining this fandom (something I would NEVER have expected to do, mych less write!!!). Everyone that has touched my life is now a real, important part of my life...not as a trend or fad but as permanent as my so called RL friends (after all, is not the time I spend online talking of important and trivial things real???).
I am Spuffy, not projecting myself (he belongs to the one he truly loves....Buffy!)..in fact, I tend to identify with Spike so much that it would be narcissim to really project!!! LOL
I read a very few non Spuffy pairings with Spike because I can't buy into most. I love the other characters but Spike is central. No other show has captured me so and I just don't think any will.
I watch Lost but don't really ship and read/write fic, same with House and Dr Who (recent doctor was so wonderful...they are only now showing them on SciFi channel), the L&O series. Truthfully I only make certain I don't miss Lost and Dr. Who because I have such limited time to watch TV at all. No show makes me rewatch, dream, write, hunger for more stories, etc. like Buffy (and to a lesser degree, Angel). It was and remains Magic.
As for the famdom...I can't imagine going back to my life before. The people I have met, the hobbies I have developed have forever altered me. Who would have seen me writing? NEEDING to write? Loving to write? Sharing that writing?
Gonna stop hijacking your journal sweetie.....you said it all so well!
