In the past week or so, I feel like I've had the entire progress of CP's master's shoved into my brain. ( Ten titles, from China to Japan, from post-socialist homosexual identities to post-modern consumerist non-narratives, with a few demons and gangsters in between. ) My icon is strangely appropriate.

Dear author:
You wrote, "Solicitations for volunteers [for the survey] were sent to Buffistas.com, All Things Philosophical on Angel and Buffy, Slayage.tv, and the Bronze; these either did not respond to the solicitations or refused to post them."
Unh-hunh. After reviewing your pathetic excuse for a hypothesis: "Series-oriented fans see themselves as loyal to the series; whereas story-oriented fans see themselves as loyal to the story, the characters, and/or the relationships.*" ...I suspect it's less that ATPoBtVS refused to post the survey link, so much as the First Evil is a smart enough evil that she saw little reason to make the rest of us suffer through your idiocy.
nolove,
the Second Evil
*Did you really think the owner/moderator of a site called All Things Philosophical — with pages listing extensive treatises comparing the existentialist, pragmatist, and essentialist themes in the show and that's just for the appetizer — wasn't going to be able to nail a false dichotomy at a hundred paces?
