It's a shame that the rabidness is so up front that people feel the need to qualify their love.

It really does seem like every fandom has at least one group that the rest hides from in sheer embarrassment (so the SDJ people are a bit like the people who showed the naked Merry/Pippin picture to Boyd and Monahan?).

St. Daniel is a huge thing in fanon. *shudders* As well as Everyone Is Horrible To Daniel And Doesn't Appreciate His Brilliance.

And he... ascends or something, yes? That probably complicates the issue further. And it's odd for me, because in the Buffyverse, ascending always ends up being something bad.
