I've started watching Smallville (seven eps in so far) and dabbling in reading Potterverse fic because of my friends who are fans and their enthusiastic squeeing. On my own I probably would never have watched the show or read the fanfic; they just didn't suck me in. I'm like you in that I watched BtVS/AtS pretty much on my own apart from mr. muse and some peripheral friends, and it made me a fan all on its own. I think it's going to take a lot for another show/'verse to do the same, without my fandom friends getting me excited because they're excited.

But where are the baby stories?! Don't tell me you've grown tired of the poor child already!

Yeah, I am leaning on if it's POSSIBLE for me to get that excited about a show on my own again. Not just because there is so much enthusiasm out there that I can relate to very quickly, but also because, I'll admit it, I think there was something extraordinarly special about the Jossverse shows. They drew me in immediately and normally? I find most pilots to be really bad, unable to balance the combination of creating characters that interest people AND a good plot and setting up a premise and...Most of them succeed only in part and it takes a while for the series to ramp up.

I would kill for another show to do the same thing but I am highly skeptical.

Hee! I am TOTALLY not tired of the baby stories! He's the best nephbo EVER EVER EVER!!! He really is. I'm just trying not to kill my flist with stories of his cuteness! I gave his parents a break yesterday but Sunday was ALL about nepbho. ANd hee, I emailed my mom pictures of him and she's just dying of his cuteness and SO SAD she won't be able to come visit until probably november. All she could do was squee over his adorableness. Also, the dog and nephbo are getting along very well! Hurrah!
