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...

Even though I wrote the ultimate Kennedy-bashing fic ("Crocodile Rock") I don't have anything against her (the fic was a request fic) and she showed in "The Killer In Me" that she has a lot going for her. And, when I write her as having broken up with Willow ("Come As You Are", "Life, Resumed", and "Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot?") it's always described as being mainly down to Willow.

Kennedy was IMO the second-best new character introduced in S7 - but she's totally eclipsed by Vi!
