Well, Glee’s over after 6 years. And I stuck it through even though, to be quite honest, it was pretty bad for the last 3-3.5 years, with the cast as by far the best part, as I just couldn’t walk away from it.
However, that’s not the thing that was important about the show to me. What was important and the best part was being part of ontd_glee, which made the experience of watching the show & being part of the fandom worthwhile. All the people I met (including most of my mutual follows), all the fun with episode discussions, the assorted polls, Fic Rec Saturdays, the snarkiness about what sucked about the show, and especially the FFAFs as a way to spend Friday nights.
And even though it hasn’t been all that active the last couple years, _glee was probably what kept me watching, so I could stay involved there.
But now that the show’s come to an end and the comm likely to go dark soon afterwards, I’m going to miss _glee, especially the way it was through 2012, as that was the best part of the Glee experience. So long Glee and ontd_glee, and thanks for all the fish.
