It's really lovely to find out there are still some folks finding the series and loving it the way we had. I know most of everything is gone now, sadly--the main space I used to participate in, a bulletin board started by one of the PAs, was really great, and it's sad that much of it was lost to time. And I wish so much some of it could have migrated to AO3, but it was SUCH a feral fandom, which is what we used to call fandoms that were really outside the mainstream and where the participants were only in that one thing, and didn't know any of the regular fannish conventions or practices. I once asked for suggestions of fan made vids, because it felt like I was the only making them (this was still in the primarily videotape days with computers using VCR tapes as source) and when I mentioned "fandom" a person actually asked me "what is fandom?"

I was so thrown that all I could say was "you're in it." But they literally didn't understand or know about fandom at large and what it could do for you. It was wild. So when it got cancelled at the end of S4, huge numbers of people disappeared, and they didn't even know about the S5 add on, because those bulletin boards were all they'd had and once they were gone, people had no way of connecting with them. Live Journal was the only real fan game in town then, but they didn't know about it.

I did buy Christopher Heyn's enormous compendium Inside Section One, which is a comprehensive guide to the show. Do you know about that? I wonder if there might be copies floating around on like ebay or something. I'm looking forward to reading your pimp post--as soon as my terrible deadline is over, I will check it out.
