Drive-by post: Outing myself

[liz_marcs]

Yes, indeed. I just outed myself over on TwOP as someone who actually likes Kennedy.

Truthfully, by the end of S7, I liked her more than Willow.

Granted, introducing Kennedy in S7 sucked because she, like Andrew, stole time away from the characters I really cared about (Buffy, Giles, Xander, and Willow).

Despite that, I still like the character. Unlike Andrew. Whom I hate with the passion of a thousand fire-y nuns seriously dislike, mostly because ME kept shoving him down my throat and playing DEMAND LOVE when it came to Andrew.

First I'm a Xander fan. Now I'm a self-proclaimed Kennedy-liker.

Is it any wonder my corner of Buffy fandom is cold and lonely?

I fully expect to be ripped apart by Kittens over on TwOP.

Maybe I can distract them with catnip...

Does that make Andrew "not-Xander"? Or is there more to the Andrew hate? Part of why I couldn't stand the twerp was the feeling that he was supposed to be a Spike-friendly, non-threatening replacement for Xander in the role of comic relief, except that a) Xander was still there, and b) after Him or so, ME weren't even trying to figure out what Xander's role/place was. Which leads to the question of how long was the plan to kill Xander in place before Joss changed his mind?
