SV anniversary

[hils]

It's been one year to the day since I started watching Smallville.

I'm still slightly baffled at how quickly this fandom has become such a major part of my life. I'm certainly not complaining.

After Buffy ended I slowly drifted out of the fandom, although I still have lots of the great people I met there on my flist, and for a while I just sort of drifted. I got involved in Pirates of the Caribbean for a bit, then Lord of the Rings. I tried to get into the Lost fandom but while there's loads of communites dedicated to the show there was never much of a community feeling to the fandom.

Just when I was teetering on getting involved in the Supernatural fandom, Smallville came along and knocked me over. Amusingly I was not very impressed with it at first and in fact mocked it quite a lot. Slowly, though, I came to completely fall in love with Clark and Lex. Pretty soon I was reading fic, and not long after that I started writing fic.

Along the way I joined communuties, created communites and made a load of wonderful friends.

So, really, I owe it all to Jensen Ackles. jacqui_hw would never have bought all of Smallville on DVD if Jensen hadn't been in Season 4.

Thanks Jensen, and thanks to everyone in the SV fandom for being awesome and letting me be part of it all.

I wonder how many people in the fandom mocked the show to start. I mocked Buffy terribly when I first became a fan mostly to hide my complete and total love for the show. (it's a strange thing i do)

I started watching SV *after* I got hooked on the fic and was shocked at how bad the show was in comparison to the fic--and how amazingly hot the actors were. And I still think we're the nicest, kindest to newbies fandom there is.

I always loved Buffy, from the silly movie through the entire show :)

I have to say it took me a while to get settled in the Smallville fandom. My early fics got barely any comments at all, but then they may not have been any good since I hadn't been watching the show that long. Hehe!

Happy Anniversary! I came to Smallville late, too, and it has also taken over my life! The summer between seasons 4 and 5, I was bored to death, and was buying television shows on DVD right and left. Based on other shows I had ordered, Amazon recommended Smallville, so I ordered season 1 (it was on sale). By the time I finished the first disc I was in love, and I ordered seasons 2 and 3, and pre-ordered 4. I've never looked back. I know the show is crazy sometimes, but I still love it. :)

Hehe! Yes, it is crazy but I have come to love (mostly) the insanity
