Saw Kita0610 and Monanotlisa do this... the fannish me in a nutshell:

I love Buffy, Angel, Connor, and Spike, because they're messed up and conflicted. And Cordelia, just because. My OTP at the moment is C/A, and I loved S6 Spuffy. While I prefer C/A fanfic to what ME hands us (gee, I wonder why) I've always liked S/B much better on the show. I'm one of the handfull of people who think that Buffy S6 is one of the best seasons. I think writing Connor out of the show is about the stupidest thing ME could do, but at least he got a great send-off. I more or less like all the characters on both shows; even Riley grew on me once he traded his superpowers for a personality. I don't care for aggressive shipping, no matter the character, and loathe character bashing, Real People Fic, and spoilers with a passion. I liked Happy Anniversary and Doublemeat Palace. I thought the AR in Seeing Red was necessary to ground the character again. At times I like to hear myself talk.

Sometimes I saw it, sometimes I didn't. Waiting in the Wings - sparkling. Awakening - not so much (otherwise great ep, though). Depending on the director, maybe? I liked the little understated scenes, like Angel kissing Cordy's forehead in Magic Bullet. I would have prefered if they had gone with the UST instead of trying the romance angle, but what's done is done.
