Hello Everyone, I've been a lurker on this board for some time now. The only person I know on this board is April, whom I've e-mailed before. I remembered that I started lurking before "Hush" is broadcasted here in Singapore. Even after "Hush", I was unsure if I'm a fan of theirs or not, but as each ep progressed, I began to see that their relationship is not so simple afterall. "New Moon Rising" was just broadcasted here and sad to say, many parts were censored out, and the show was at the 10pm time slot. I think you guys can guess which parts were censored out. It included the famous "Extra Flamey" scene at the end. All we saw was Willow hugging Oz and then the credits started... Anyway, as I was rambling on...I would just like to delurk on this board and make some posts.
posted 02-15-2001 03:11 EST (US) Hi, I've only posted once before (thanks xita for those kind words). I tend to lurk as I'm kinda shy. I'm a UK based fan and manage to watch btvs 2 times a week, following different seasons is fun. I am a big fan of the w/t relationship and enjoy reading all about it on this fab site. Ok I've said enough back too lurking.
posted 02-15-2001 07:24 EST (US) Hey there W&T Fan, you are from Singapore? April, do you know everyone on the planet? They censored the extra flamey candle scene??? Sacrilege!!! You have my sympathies, and here I was whining about the BBC... Puff, let me warn you, before you know it you'll be registered and posting like a maniac, it happened to *me* *sniff*. Hehehe back to lurking, that is *exactly* what I said... Anyway, welcome to the both of you.
Editing to add: Excuse me Xita, looks like I pressed the button a sec before you did...

posted 02-15-2001 07:24 EST (US) Hey Puff and W&T Fan, welcome to the board
Puff, feel free to pop out of lurkage occassionally, don't be a stranger.
W&T Fan, I can't believe that. They censored the extra flamey scene? What are they going to do for season 5? Are they going to cut w&t holding hands in the background? Do they think they can erase w/t from the show? This is unbelievable.
posted 02-15-2001 08:13 EST (US) Just too say that I am now registered ahh!! Half way to proving Dr G right, although I'm not sure that 2 posts in one day is over excessive...is it?
posted 02-15-2001 16:23 EST (US) Ok, Short and sweet, I can do it, computers scare me, but I'm very much into this W/T site (it's very addictive isn't it!) so here goes... I'm quite shy so you might not here from me too often but you've made me feel very welcome so far. I'm 19 and live in Birmingham, England. I'm studying Drama at sixth form (still!) and hope to do the same at university. I've been into Buffy since mid-season three, and have since caught up by buying all the boxsets and becoming addicted to the show (I NEVER miss an episode!) I don't own a internet-connected computer, so I use a friend's (another reason why you won't here fom me to often!) I stumbled upon this site, which is cool because I totally agree with the W/T relationship and think Josh Whedon is a great man for the way he's handling it! OK, that's enough now, my short and sweet's turn into long and boring (sorry I waffle when I'm nervous!) Thanx for making me feel welcome and I'll speak to you soon! Bye bye.
Hi all ! Yup...the extra flamey scene is not the only one they censored... The censors are very strict here. Any same sex kissing, declaration of love, anything, is a nono here, regardless of the timeslot it is show. I think when "Family" is shown here near the end of the year, we'll get only 30 mins worth of an ep. Sad, isn't it ?
posted 02-16-2001 02:27 EST (US) W&T fan, does this mean that you don't get to see any of the episodes uncut? If you miss out on the full episode of 'Family' it would be a real shame. In the uk they show btvs twice in an early slot and late but uncut on a different day. If you can't get the videos of the episodes you want then contact me and I'll see what I can do!
when i go home to visit (not to singapore, but to a nearby place) i hardly bother watching anything on television...there is no point. It's not even same sex stuff that they censor..but you'll be lucky if you see more than a peck on the cheek in a hetero scene..
Also..any bit of dialogue that suggests "sex" is normally cut unless of course it's an innuendo that the censors didn't understand or pick up on.. Ironically, violence gets passed the censors no problem...and on the news, they are more than happy to show us footage of all the dead bodies strewn across the battlefields or ones resulting from horrifying car accidents.
i think it's ridiculous...first of all lets point out that most good shows are shown after 10pm (when children presumably are in bed) - Charmed is aired at 11:40pm!! , secondly, they snip programs to bits, and you haven't got a clue what's going on, whole lines of dialogue and silenced out and they cut everything from small kisses to the tamest of sex scenes and so on - it's insulting...it suggests that the government feels that the adults in these countries are incapable of making up there minds as to what is right and wrong and does not allow them to chose what they want to watch on television. I mean, god forbid, these adults will see a sex scene and run out and have sex themselves ! Oh...and same sex relationships - they're kinda illegal.
Wow..sorry if i rambled...it just really gets to me and is one of the main reasons that i will never live in the country where i was born.
suddenly the WB and their decisions don't sound that bad huh ? oh..and sorry if this veered off topic in the introductions thread...i'll shut up now /t

Herbert, welcome to the board. I do hope you make the occassional post when you come visit! Welcome!
posted 02-16-2001 08:03 EST (US) yes dr g, i know absolutely everyone on the planet. all 6 billion people. you have no idea how heavy my address book is...
W&T fan, good to see you again! i'm glad you've finally left the land of lurkdom... when we emailed, i can't remember, was it to get USEnet instructions, or was it to send you a "family" CD? because i totally feel your pain about the censorship, and would be happy to send you a CD with unedited "family", NMR and maybe WAY for the flaming o spell... (i'm sure they edited *that* one!). if you're interested, email me at cyber_apple@hotmail.com
posted 02-16-2001 08:12 EST (US) You have an address book? Don't you know them all by heart then? Yahoo just died on me btw, which is probably just as well, I guess, consider yourself lucky...
posted 02-17-2001 07:07 EST (US) Puff, thank you for your kind offer. But I'm worried they might check the package, find the tape, sends it in for censorship charge me for watching the tape, and then charge me for the censorship if any. Well, here they mostly and mainly censor same sex stuff..they can do almost anything they want for hetero couples...and yes, they do censor some gore and bloody stuff...
April, I'm surprised you still remember me And yup, it's something about USEnet. You're wrong about the flaming spell though...heh...they didn't censor that...hehe...or maybe they didn't get it, so... Seems that they don't like it show obviously. Maybe hints are okay, but not when it's show right in the face.
posted 02-17-2001 08:57 EST (US) Hey everyone. I've been reading the posts for a while and I just decided to register today. Let's see, I'm 17 and from a small town in PA. I used to watch Buffy from the start, up until the end of season 2, but then I stopped for some reason. I started watching it again this season and I'm really into it.
posted 02-18-2001 13:12 EST (US) Hey lilpinkcowgirl, welcome to the board! So you missed some of the season 4 stuff? I hope you get a chance to see it because it was ah so sweet.
Hope you post now and again and give us your opinion
posted 02-22-2001 15:02 EST (US) okay, so i guess i should say hi...*wave* i usually lurk, but i had to drag myself out of anonymousity to post on the Show me love thread, so now my presence is known. I'm shortie, my fave Buffy episodes are Welcome to the Hellmouth, Hush and Passion, my fave character is probably Anya or Willow (or previously Jenny Calendar), and I'm a spoiler addict.
posted 02-22-2001 21:09 EST (US) Hey People...um...hope I registered right...My name's Faith cuz well she's my fave character (next to Tara whom is MINE by the way =D). The Yashuu part is cuz I draw anime and it means Creature of the Night in Japanese (I...think) newayz Willow and Tara Forever and such...um...that's all. =)
posted 02-22-2001 22:19 EST (US) Welcome Faith_Yashuu! You must have more in common with Faith than just her name, you must have some of her courage as well. Claiming Tara is yours. You are very brave. How long have you been lurking here? Do you know *Xita*? You know the evil moderator of this place? I do know her a bit because, well, I kinda
STALK HER
Well, welcome again, maybe we can team up and fight her for Tara?
posted 02-24-2001 13:00 EST (US) hi, everybody... thanks for the invitation to introduce myself, xita...
first of all, you should know im a big LIAR, because when i finished my previous post, i said i was going to do my homework, and here i am online. im a terrible person.
second, lets see... im 26, i live in nyc, im in law school... i have watched buffy since the beginning, and i distinctly remember saying during season two... you know, this show would be perfect if that redhead had a girlfriend. if only my gift of prophecy could be honed and used for good...
if i could just find a beautiful, sensitive girl like tara, i would adore her forever.
i also like xena and star trek voyager, and when they both end this season, im going to have a little empty space in my heart. *snif* willow and tara will be all thats keeping me going next year...
lets see... well, i do a little magic of my own... i study kung fu, very seriously and intensely, actually... so i can confirm that most of the craziest stuff youve seen buffy do on the show, its not so far-fetched. im about her size, and we do alot of actual fighting (read: heavy contact, no protective equipment) at our school, and ive learned that power comes from energy, speed, focus... not from big muscles. my advice: NEVER underestimate the little guy, because its the invisible stuff inside that will knock you on your @ss. my current feat that i am working up to is some chi gung stuff... holding my body up parallel to the floor, supported by cinder blocks at my shoulders and heels, and having a cinder block placed on my chest and stomach and then broken with a sledge hammer. it might sound weird and barbaric, but trust me, its *really* cool, and not as hard as you might think. well, if youve practicing at it for three years.
so anyone into martial arts, get in touch! we can chat it up.
and also, the kittens on this board are great... you actually have really interesting conversations, its always fun to come read whats going on...
posted 02-24-2001 13:57 EST (US) Hi Faith_Yashuu! I also love manga and anime! I am sure you will have a grand time here. ~_^
Hi rocketdyke! Happy de-lurking!
I also thought that Willow should have a gf earlier in the show ... season 2 I think. But I wanted to be her gf LOL. I am glad that she and Tara take good care of each other. They are the cutest couple.

posted 02-25-2001 20:57 EST (US) Ok, so it seems today's the big tired-of-just-lurking-so-here-I-go day.... So, here I am. I'm Rose (FrenchRose is mainly to avoid having people blaming me for stuff another 'Rose' might have done or said.. on the other hand, if you're looking to thank or reward a 'Rose', well stop searching! That's me! I'm the one! Gimme!) Ok, now you all know I have a very very scary idea of what's funny - though it's like 6 am here, so bare with me, please - other than that, I'm 19, french (obviously)and I'm suffering from a bad case of Willow/Tara addiction. Oh, and a bit of "Oh God, oh God, Amber smile! Amber eyes! Amber 'Sophomore Level Psychology' voice! " and such. Somehow I feel you guys won't judge me. I've been watching Buffy since... should I say day 3 instead of day 1, cause I missed the first two eps... - and I must say without Aly, Amber and Joss, I probably wouldn't have remained such a fan : I was utterly disappointed with season 3, so when the 4th started, I thought 'Guys this is your last chance'. And I'm still here, thanks to our wiccagirls and JW. Anyway, I'm sure everybody already hates me - this post's way too long - so I'll stop here.
Can't wait to talk with you folks a lot more ; take care.

posted 02-26-2001 13:58 EST (US) Hi Everyone
Thank you Xita for already welcoming me, but I thought I would accept your invitation to tell you a bit about myself (Not that it's very interesting!)
Okay well, I live in the UK, I'm 36 years old and I work in Banking (please don't hold that against me!!) although I should say that I thoroughly hate my job and can't wait until I leave.
Although I'm 36 my friends would probably tell you that I act as though I'm 12, which is okay, I guess(?)
I am completely in awe of Willow and Tara I realised when they met that it was going to be a beautifully crafted romantic relationship and Joss, Aly and Amber certainly haven't disappointed us! And as for the pictures that were posted yesterday, all I can say is WOW!!!! I can't wait until we see the episode over here.
Okay, well I guess that's my lot!
Love and Hugs to you all!

Anyway, I live in Southern California (probably a couple hours away from Sunny D.) I'm 36, married, have two kids (one from her previous marriage) and two cats (named Xander and Ozma -- originally Oz, but then it turned out to be a girl. Who knew?)
I've loved BTVS from episode one, and have always felt Willow was the *spice* of the series that was missing from the feature film. I have to admit, I did not pick up on any "subtext" during the laundry-room scene in Hush, but after a few episodes I got it. It still amazes me that Joss, Aly and Amber were brave enough to do this -- wonderful people! My wife rolls her eyes and mutters something about "male fantasies about lesbians" but she is supportive of W/T, just not as vocal. She loves in the show in general, too.
Gotta go! Love this board.

I've lurked here on this fabulous board for awhile, but after the angsty/happy Tuesday ep, I figured it was time to come out of hiding.
I adore Willow/Tara; they truly are why I watched the show. I was only an occasional, once-in-awhile Buffy watcher before Tara appeared, and then I was hooked. I love Tara. I love Amber Benson. I wish I had a Tara in my life, but alas, not yet.

posted 03-01-2001 14:05 EST (US) Hi! I'm a 30-ish guy from Massachusetts, liked the much-maligned movie, been watching the show from the start, and I've always thought Alyson Hannigan was the best-looking actress on the show, and Willow the most appealing character. She's got some serious competition now from Amber, though, and I've been a fan of the Willow/Tara relationship since Hush. I lurk at the Bronze and related sites from time to time, and I used to be slightly active at Hannigan.com back in WeirdArchive's W/T Denial Phase (which lasted about a year, as I recall )

posted 03-01-2001 19:32 EST (US) hey fellow kittens! i found this board earlier in the week and i have fallen in love with it, i get online every chance i get so i can read everyone's comments on the show and w/t. a little about myself... i would like to explain my name: tara*goat. my name is actually tara and goat is the sign of my zodiac, capricorn. i am 17 and i live in ohio and i'm female. i am gay but still in the closet except to my closest friend and now to all of you. and i am single (and my claddaugh ring points the tip of the heart out just to prove that), waiting for my own willow or tara to come along. i know they are out there somewhere. i have been a buffy addict since sesson 1, episode 1. to all my friends i am know as the buffy encyclopedia, i read my watchers guides (vol. 1 & 2) religiously. i would have to say that my obsession with the show increased when willow met tara in "hush". i knew instantly that something would happen between those two. i think they are the cutest couple that has ever been on the show. i have been posting on the aol board for awhile but this one is better. everyone here is so supportive of the relationship and a lot of you want to join in and i don't blame you. i love every scene with w/t, joss and the other writers have done everything so briliantly : big hug for each of you:, especially this past tuesdays episode. "the body" has to be the one of the greatest episodes for w/t, tara is a very silently strong character and she was totally there for willow.

Have written one Buffy fic with Anya and Tara chatting (on Extra Flamey), and one Buffy/Faith fic (on Faith Rocks), which is unfinished as sadly every time I try to write Part 4 it starts to suck. (Let's face it, having Faith and Buffy give long, tear-filled monologues is just a *smidge* out of character). But I'll keep plugging at it.
Found the board via the W/T egroups page, and am pleased to see that it's one big Happy World Land. ^_^

posted 03-02-2001 15:52 EST (US) Hey everyone - well,you've all been so nice to me in your patient replies to my questions about when willow and tara actually crossed the line from friendship to something (wondefully) more that i thought i would introduce myself properly.
I love the writing on buffy, and i've sort of watched it every now and then since it began. But when Willow and Tara got together - not just xena type subtexty together but completely in love together - i became a huge, buge fan. They are just so cute together. And i think i may have mentioned earlier that its the type of relationship i would love to have. Hey, i think they're both equally cute - i would love someone like either one of them :-)
On the more dull topic of myself - i am an aussie (nice to meet others here) i'm doing postgraduate work that is sort of touching on the stolen generation (government-sponsored forced removal of aboriginal children from their parents) which is very depressing. So its great to have something like willow and tara to cheer me up! And that's about it really. Hope that wasn't all too boring. Thanks again - you're all very nice here.

Well, I'm Mandy and I'm 19 years old. I'm a college freshman at UC Davis, but I'm actually from SoCal in an LA suburb. I miss home!
I'm totally in love with the Willow/Tara relationship! Not to mention the fact that I also love Aly Hannigan and completely love and adore Amber Benson!!! I'm kinda new to the whole Buffyverse, so pardon me if I don't know some stuff. I've been watching on and off ever since the beginning, but it hasn't been until this season when I started obsessing about the show. A large part of that has to do with Willow & Tara. I saw the back hug in 'Real Me' and immediately fell in love with them!
Anyway, I hope to get to know y'all through our common love for W&T. Some of you may already know me from the Essence of Amber forum, so hi to you guys! Anyway, I better stop before I keep rambling and take up too much space. See y'all around. Ciao, dudes!

look out for dr g. he might be amusing, but he's also an accomplished stalker and can hit you with a large red font before you ever see what's coming.
the rest of the folks on this board are okay, though. except for xita. you gotta stay away from her - she's the mean one.
i second your "amber's gorgeous face" sentiment though. mmm...

posted 03-03-2001 21:22 EST (US) What an awesome board!! I decided to just bite the bullet and register (i've got nothing better to do on this Sunday morning I guess..)
I'm a 23 year old computer techno geek working for a web design firm in big bad NYC (I'm sure i'll be out of a job by next week). I was turned onto Buffy by my mother (believe it or not) who was a major fan long before I knew the pleasure. I was sucked in last season just as the whole Willow/Tara "we are the cutest couple in the history of the universe" lovefest began.
I decided to abandon the whole Xena/Gabrielle "we love each other but our producers are too scared to admit we are actually lovers" and support a show who's creator actually had the b*lls (hey, i'm a new yorker..sue me) to let his characters declare loud and proud ... "hello gay now!"
I love Alyson! I lust after Amber! (they don't make girls like that here And hopefully, one day I'll put my NYU film BFA to good use and well, work for Mutant Enemy.
And then, I WILL RULE THE WORLD! Ha, ha.. oh wait, did i say that out loud. Sorry.
Ahem. Anyway, I will shut up now!

posted 03-03-2001 23:05 EST (US) Hey, I've been lurking for awhile now and you all are just so damn neat I figured hey, why not register and introduce myself. I live in NYC with my gf and cat and my friend Dave down the hall. We all watch Buffy together because of all the cool ladies. I am an off-broadway stage electrician, hence the grid monkeyness. Being incredibly shy I may not post too much, but hey, who knows.

Now wouldn't you much rather be stalked by *me*?

posted 03-06-2001 14:28 EST (US) Hello everyone. I've actually been posting for a week or so under a different name. I love Willow and Tara, Kim and Kerry and women in general. I have become a totally obsessed person. Yes, my name is Jane and I AM an addict. If all of this sounds familiar, I just posted basically the same info on the Chalupa Board intro thread.
I'm a lawyer. I'm in a LTR that's on the rocks, but we start couples therapy next week, so who knows what will happen. I guess that's it for now.
Jane (aka hellogaynow)
------------------ Willow to Tara: Oh, not me. I was just saying a pretty girl like that, there's always someone lurking around looking for some action. (I Was Made To Love You)

posted 03-06-2001 22:02 EST (US) Hi all, I've been lurking for a while and will probably fade back into the ether after this post... but all the other lurkers coming out have inspired me to say g'day. I'm a 29 y.o. geophysics grad student in Boston, about to defend my PhD in a month so I'm spending 12+ hours a day on the computer typing up my thesis. Coming over to this board to check in on the chatter is a welcome break, you guys are too funny sometimes! I *wish* I'd been watching Buffy from the beginning but I've only watched since Tara came on the scene. My sister in San Fran does Buffy pot-lucks every week with her friends and insisted I had to watch NMR. BTVS has now taken over that place in my heart I had reserved for Xena and Voyager, I can't wait for re-runs on FX. Willow is such a great character, she's the only lesbian nerd I know. My circle of lesbian friends are gathered from the rugby/softball/flag-football scene, mostly jocks, no nerds. Among my scientist friends I'm the token lesbian, among my lesbian friends I'm the token nerd. I'm also originally from Australia, even after ten years in the States I'm still figuring out the culture. Sometimes I feel like I don't really fit in anywhere... but I find myself wandering over to this board n times a day, where n is a very large number maybe I've found somewhere I fit in? cheers, KatyQ

posted 03-07-2001 12:08 EST (US) Um...okay...with the intro thing...I'm afraid I'm a terribly unfascinating person. Female, mid-thirties, currently identified as bisexual but wondering a lot if I wouldn't feel more comfortable with lesbian (Willow sure seems to )...um...live in New Jersey, have a kitty, play bass guitar in a band....love BtVS and love love LOVE Willow and Tara (and want a relationship like theirs), think Alyson is a hottie and Amber is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN ON THE PLANET as well as amazingly cool and talented, and I'm here because when I babble to my friends and family about her they look at me like I have six heads.
Whereas you guys, OTOH, think it's normal. Yay!

posted 03-07-2001 19:18 EST (US) I didn't post an actual intro, I don't think, SOOOO I'll post one now.
*waves* Hello, I'm Tasha and I'm a Buffy addict. I'm 15 and I live in Wisconsin with my mom, dad, brother, two cats (my baby boy Kieran is the love of my life LOL) two chinchillas, a dog, gerbils, and a hamster.
I'm a sophomore in High School and I work at a pet store. *Rolls eyes* LOL, I just started there, soooo. I also baby sit. I love kids.
I mostly lurk, but I thought I'd intro myself anyways. I don't know why exactly it is that I love Willow and Tara so much, but I do. I'm also a Buffy/Angel fan, but that's for another board LOL.
Anywho. Nice to meet you all!!

posted 03-07-2001 20:48 EST (US) Smoochies and greetings hellogaynow, KatyQ, Dazey, and TashaR! Welcome to the board! We're really glad you're here!
But...I'm afraid this Intro thread is getting too big and flaking out. So, you all will be the last of the new Kitties greeted before we go to a new Intro thread!

Thank you Xita for already welcoming me, but I thought I would accept your invitation to tell you a bit about myself (Not that it's very interesting!)
Okay well, I live in the UK, I'm 36 years old and I work in Banking (please don't hold that against me!!) although I should say that I thoroughly hate my job and can't wait until I leave.
Although I'm 36 my friends would probably tell you that I act as though I'm 12, which is okay, I guess(?)
I am completely in awe of Willow and Tara I realised when they met that it was going to be a beautifully crafted romantic relationship and Joss, Aly and Amber certainly haven't disappointed us! And as for the pictures that were posted yesterday, all I can say is WOW!!!! I can't wait until we see the episode over here.
posted 02-27-2001 03:09 EST (US) Hi, introduction time. I'm actually not new here ... have been lurking for some time but seeing that guys are also welcome on the kitten board I decided to come out ...... and post.
Here goes : I'm from South Africa *wave* so we're about 10 hours ahead of you gals and guys in the US but we're six months behind on BtVS *sigh* Call me Headless .... for obvious reasons. I'm a confirmed Amber addict. Just can't get enough of that goddess. Oh ye, thanx for them spoilers. I live for them.
Special thanx to Xita your the best !
