Let's have a poll!

[livejournal.com profile] dante_kent and I were thinking how many people from TVD fandom have some vampires in their past. And there is no better way to find out than a poll!

We'd like answers from the people who are/were into TVD fandom (reading/writing fic, taking part in discussions, reading/writing meta; LURKING ALSO COUNTS!*).

*Btw, this is also how "being in Buffyverse fandom" is defined in the poll. Even if you were just lurking, it counts!

[Poll #1799456]

That sounds marvelous! I actually envy you a bit, I wish I'd watched Buffy on-going :(.

Heh, yeah, but the week-to-week waits were brutal. It's funny actually because I feel like, no matter how many times I watch it as an adult, all my thoughts will still be based on my child-like first opinions. Like I actually do lack the ability to be critical about the characters. THEY ARE ALL FLAWLESS. Even though, no, they're not at all, I just can't though.

I can only imagine... It took me two months to watch 7 seasons of Buffy and 5 seasons of Angel, because the cliffhangers were killing me!

I feel like, no matter how many times I watch it as an adult, all my thoughts will still be based on my child-like first opinions.

Now I envy you even more! I can't do something like this; I read my favorite books from childhood and I see all the things that are wrong, to the point when I can't read the books any more :(. Lucy Maud Montgomery is still flawless, because that's who she is, but some of my childhood books are ruined for me.

Can you give some examples of those child-like opinions you think would be differend if you watched Buffy later?
