Also, I think it's the same group of folks doing the reading and 
they're making the rounds of sites and once they've read it, not 
that many new readers are checking in. B/W has a fairly small 
following, something I've never understood, but there you go...

>>> You know, i had a conversation about that with someone( a K/W fan that didn't really like T/W) around three weeks ago and we've come to quite a few conclusions.Actually, if you think about it, it's not that strange....B/W and B/F are pioneers when it comes to femslsh fans, B/W fans have been around since before they even thought about bringing Tara in, and i can tell you, that when you consider unconventional ships, we're quite well....At least we were, now i dunno.Truth of the matter is, B/W is an idea, a possibility, and W/T and W/K were realities...Once it became official people just jumped in...I mean, why stay with the could be when you could have the is....Not only that, but the thruth of the matter is, people want to see themselves in there...TAra , Kennedy and Willow are lesbians, Buffy isn't , lots of the fans of W/T and W/K are bi/lesbian, at least the ones i've bumped into, so the indentification is different( one of the biggest examples of thati saw when they decided to include a lesbian couple on primetime here) ....I think that is even one of the reasons why people tend to idolize TAra...Other than that , you must take into consideration that most people are femslash fans, so they don't restrict themselves to pairings....ANd there is the one for each concept...So, WIllow is with TAra/Kennedy, why break that ?STill, there are other female there, so they end up pairing Buffy with other female ( mostly FAith, who showed to be more ambigous) ... And so it goes....

Not making much sense , i know, but i'm having a hard time putting my thought into words ( waiting 50 minutes for your sister to get ready while you're dying to eat something is arghhh...last time i try to be nice...) 
Still, while small, the true B/W fans are quite faithfull...Or at least i know i am....We may not have quantity , but we sure have quality...What matters isn't what is explicit, but what we read between the lines...And THAT we do very well...
