Growing up in the 1990s and 2000s, I’ve been a part of many a fan group for many a series. While the group concept isn’t as strong now as it was in the days of list-serve Yahoo groups, LiveJournal, and forums, it’s still around in other forms.

I compiled is a list of the most active Gargoyle groups online. While the Gathering might not be happening anymore, we can still gather online.

Some Xanatos appreciation from The Edge (ep. 10). I love the coat.

[aceofhadeon]

I like his coat from Eye of the Beholder even better. Look at that fluid animation!

He's got guys. Who else but Xanatos is going to bait gargoyles, semi admit it to them, then face down an angry Goliath?
