the best approach is to realize that these things don't really matter
Hope you're right. I just thought the whole hate thing was over. Especially in ficwriting circles. I assumed people who haven't left the fandom have mellowed and left hate in the past.
Recently I realised that I love all characters - Buffy and her friends, Angel and his Fang Gang, Firefly crew. I miss them. You know, I watched the last episode of Lost and literally squeed when I saw Nathan Fillion. And I've never been a diehard Firefly fan, although I enjoyed it a lot. Seeing NF was so poignant - it was a reminder of glory days, of spoiler whoring and belief in the bright future of Jossverse. So I assumed that everybody felt like that.
