okay now i think this is fanpop's first rewatchathon correct me if i'm wrong
anyways for those of you going a what? it's basically where a bunch of fans of a finshed television show gather to rewatch it and discuss it
now since it's me that's posting this soapbox guess which show it's going to be? that's right boys and girls buffy :D so you could say this soapbox is miscatorgarized but before you hit the report button let me explain. I know there are a lot of older buffy fans out there that don't participate in the spot with the show being over long ago so you won't check the forums or updates so this is to spike a little interest...get it... spike? anyways this is also incase any other fans out there want to start their own rewatchathon on a different show, this could be inspiration and feel free to steel these guidelines :D
so if you interested in a rewatchathon here's all about the buffy one
concept
the buffy rewatchathon forums is for all the buffy fans gather and re-watch together the series buffy the vampire slayer and discuss it all together. Any buffy fan can join us, from the most hardcore of us to those that are new, to old fans who want to rekindle their buffy love, so long as you are caught up with episodes and discussion you are welcome to join us at any time, if you happen to be reading this at a later date...
rules and guidelines
considering we will be entering a world where demons can be your best friend, your mortal enemy or your lover, reality can bend and everyone lies about their dark secrets we don't much like rules nor do us rebels in leather coats obey them so we really have more guidelines than a strick handbook of rules
-firstly you don't need to own the dvds to join us, of course if you do then great but there are two versions of all the episodes on the spot and i will post the links to them in the forum and make it my mission to find more versions if these do not work for you
-the first buffy rewatchathon on fanpop will start on sunday the 20th :D
-we will be working by american eastern time, you can check this whenever you like on this handy little clock we don't watch the episodes at a specific time, but we will be watching every sunday, the clock is pretty much there for when there's such huge time differences we're on different days
-like i said more like guidelines, we're not going to spy on you and put cameras in your gnomes to make sure you watch it on sunday but discussions won't start until the next day on monday, allowing everyone to have watched the episodes
-we will watch two episodes at a time, we know buffy is addictive so please restrain yourself from carrying on, or if you do, wait for the next week to discuss it
-this will not be a spoiler free discussion, so i wouldn't recommend it to a first time buffy watchers unless your a spoilerholic and want to know everything before it happens. Considering that joss whedon is famous for his continuity storylines is perfectly fine to talk about future episodes for a reason but we'll try and stick to the episodes at hand
-couples discussion and debate is allowed so long as it relates to the episode in the discussion and so long as it is not just flinging insults at characters, most of these rules are very flexible but one thing we will NOT allow is insulting other fans. Discussions can get heated due to the serious issues the show addresses but under no circumstance should any of these debates become personal
-of course this will spark of more interest and content but do check and see if it's there first and if the image, fan vid, picks ect has already been posten the don't post it again but put a link in the forum to avoid repeat content
ideas for discussion
these are just some ideas for discussion and things to consider when watching, if you have any more please list them and i'll edited them in
-direction
-writing
-acting
-quotes
-continuity
-mistakes
-themes
-pop culture and references
-character's growth and relationships
-action, special effects and stunts
-unusual features of a episode
-issues within the home and society and metaphors
-villain quality
-mythology
-trivia
well that's pretty much everything if you have any more ideas or questions come over to the forum
