I know exactly what you mean. It seems strange to me, coming out of a fandom like Buffy, which has seven years of canon, over 150 episodes, plus five years of Angel- to end up here, where there's just 13 episodes or a little over 11 books. I mean, you can watch the entire series in less than six hours. And considering how much time I spend online, of course the fandom starts to outweigh the canon. Sometimes it seems weird- there's so many people who see radically different interpretations of the characters than I do, particularly if I go on ff.net, that I start to reconsider things. You know: Am I wrong? Did I miss something? Why do so many people see things I didn't? I mean, Hisoka isn't weepy and helpless, but surely if so many people write him that way, there has to be something to it...
But I'm glad you liked this; I'm glad it worked for you.
