Hey,

I've totally missed this thread. I'm so rude. :/

So, my name's Soňa (or Sonia, 'cause ň is a weird letter for you) and I'm 16 year old gymnasium student. I'm from Slovakia; we kicked ass' in ice-hockey WC this year.

Awesome to see you here!

[Ariel]

Fallon, thanks for the heads-up! If I ever head out your way, I'll ask for advice!

Sova, you rock! Welcome to the KB and keep writing!

[mirnith]

Hi everyone. I'm Mirnith, I joined up a while ago but I don't think I ever bothered to introduce myself. I'm 20 and from Canada and that's all I can think of to say.

Um, hey everyone. I'm Xam

I've been a Willow and Tara shipper gosh, since early 2000s. Watching their monumental onscreen kiss on "The Body" with my mom and siblings at a very young age was a defining moment for me; pure and heartfelt gesture of love and affection just poured from their beings and hinted at just how beautiful love could be, gender stereotypes be damned. They will always be my original OTP.


I don't know how it happened [I probably lived in denial for years after TPTB just killed my beloved Tara as a plot device; I'm still kinda bitter about it, as you prob could tell though I know I've mellowed down a lot through the years] but to be honest, it is only recently that I discovered this wonderful site and community [I know, I know; a glaring error that I intend to rectify by visiting the board every free time I get, even if it a few mins here and there at work, or in between patients, or on commercial breaks while watching my tv-crack SYTYCD].

To the hardworking board moderators: Thanks for creating this site and keeping it going through the years. I hope I could contribute positively, in my own little way, in making this beautiful online place a better one than when I found it.

To the talented fanfic writers: You are the balm of my fangirl soul and existence. I will forever be indebted to you for expanding the W/T universe in ways I cannot even imagine. In my heart of hearts, I respect and regard you guys way way higher than the professionals writer people, because this - what you do when you write beautiful, carefully thought-of and meticulously crafted stories- is just sheer passion and dedication. Writing stories from a place that is not motivated by other-worldly things except your love and devotion to our beloved characters is a noble act, and those of us whose lives you touch are immensely grateful. BtVS as a show may have ended and our characters Willow and Tara may not see the light of the screen anymore, but through your stories, they will forever live on across time and alt universe/s. THANK YOU.

To everyone at the kittenboard: I know it has been >10 years since our beloved show and ship has been ripped from our screens, but I hope to still find friends and fellow shippers here to fangirl with re: Willow and Tara. [Though you might have to pardon the babbling and my verbose way with words; I have tried to curb that for years and just given up altogether, as all attempts I made has been futile... *sigh*]

Hope to see/chat/interact with y'all soon!

[Laragh]

Hi Xam! Nice to meet you!

Hope to see you around the board

[Xam21]

Hi Laragh (love the spelling of your name and that lovely pic with Miss Amber btw). Was able to chat with lovely folks last night (shout out to T, Chris, Melissa & Bella) and very grateful for the warm welcome and good camaraderie. Will be looking forward to meeting/chatting/interacting w/ other kittens here (hmm, might need to set up camp at the chat tonight..lol) -Xam

Hello there !
I have finally registered after two years of lurking I just love all the stories you've written, they're really good
And I may have a fanfic to tell... I still have to write though !
My name is Tristan, I have gender issues, and I'm French. (if you all ever need help with French language, I'm your man ! I know that a lot of people think it is love's language, and it can truly be lovely... and sometimes worse than German expletives !)

No harm intended to German lovers, I do like it too.

[Kajun]

Hello Tristan and welcome to the Kitten Board Glad you finally de-lurked!

[EmmaTroy]

Hi,

I know I'm way late to the game but I was an Angel fan before I got into Buffy... Or even came out to myself, so lots of denial going on then! But I've realized my mistake and have become re-addicted to the Buffyverse. I've actually just recently rewatched all of Angel and Buffy... for the third time, this year.

A friend of mine mentioned the Kitten Board, also that 200+ list of "You know you're obsessed with Willow and Tara when...", so I have those two things to thank for all of the wonderful writing about one of my favorite couples on Television.

Don't get me wrong, I've been in love with Alyson Hannigan ever since American Pie came out and all of my friends have been into Buffy since the show was on the air, I was just... Doing other things at the time, is what I tell myself. Just a few years ago is when I really got into the couple, interviews... Wiki pages, anything that has Amber Beson's name on it. You know, the norm.

I don't know if anyone ever notices these posts, or if anyone is even really here anymore but I figured I'd try. What's that saying, about trying and... You miss a chance or something if you don't? Oh well, must not have been that good of a quote.

EmmaTroy-

[Laragh]

Hi EmmaTroy!

I had the same kind of experience getting into W/T; just in recent years and my obsession blossomed from interviews/anything Amber's in. Looking forward to seeing you around the board!

[Bellalocke]

Hey Emma!

Welcome to the KB

Truth be told, it doesn't really matter that you're a bit late to the game. Some of the old timers are around here somewhere, but a lot of people are still pretty new to the fandom. It doesn't matter how long it took you to get to the KB, the point is that you're here now and that is all that matters. Have fun reading all the fanfic (I do recommend Laragh's stories as she is a fab writer and her stories will definitely give you the warm and squishies) and don't be a stranger

[WillowWind]

Hello! I am new to Buffy, just last year. I wasn't really allowed to watch it when I was a young girl. (It started when I was around 7ish? I'm 21 now.) Last year, my wonderful girlfriend introduced it to me. She's the Willow to my Tara, I think. I know my screenname is WillowWind, but I had to come up with some sort of username!

Interesting thing - I found this board because it was mentioned in an old 2003 magazine that the local GLBT still had - they let me keep it. The whole cover story was about Willow/Tara!

I'm not a huge writer, but I wanna try my hand!

[knightwithoutacause]

I already started talking to you in the chat, but welcome, WillowWind.

[Finey_McFine]

Hi There,

Welcome to the board! Hope to see you around!!

[Laragh]

Hey, WillowWind! Welcome

[EmmaTroy]

Welcome! Another newbie~ Woo! =D

[TinyPurpleFishes]

Howdy, y'all!* Faolan228 pulled me over here from Tumblr, and after I finished Pack and Sentinels, I started poking around and saw much other cool stuff, and so I made an account so I can comment on things.

I got into Buffy about a year and a half ago, blew through the whole thing in a couple of months while I was seriously under-employed, and have been getting more and more into the fandom since, especially the Willow/Tara part.

I've got a few ideas that may eventually turn into stories, but I'm pretty bad at getting around to the actual writing stuff out part. We'll see. I'm probably mostly going to lurk for a while, but wanted to say "hi!"

*OK, I'm from Seattle, but my dad's from Texas and a few things stuck

[Finey_McFine]

Hey TinyPurpleFishes!

Welcome to the Kittenboard! I look forward to seeing you around:)
