I didn't think Castle really had much of a fandom!
I'm fine on shows themselves - it's more of a matter to have a place to really discuss them, or books, or movies, you know? And maybe that's the other thing. A lot of fandoms seem to be more about shipping, and that's not really what I want out of a fandom. I know HP fandom was a huge exception in terms of how big it was and how much there was to it, but surely there's some that are close? I just want some balance between shipping and discussion and I want fanfic that has ships, but is more than just that ship. Although admittedly with Castle that's a bit hard to do.
Also, re: BtVS, I have my own confession: I hate Buffy. She is so annoying and I kind of want to slap her, and I'm only up to the third season. That's bad, right? o_O
A lot of people don't like Buffy. I kind of figure though that sometimes you really can't like the hero, because if they were 100% likable they couldn't make a lot of hard choices. Then again, even though I like Willow as a character, I don't like her that much as a person, whereas apparently other fans do until a certain season where she becomes... not that nice a person. She just seems so passive aggressive to me.
