Someone told me that a lot of Buffy-hating Spike/Buffy 'shippers wandered of to VM fandom to ship Veronica/Logan, so we might be talking about the same people!

I know they are in certain cases, so I guess there were quite a few issues inherited.

I think my general contacts in VM fandom beyond the website I worked with were both pro-Veronica and pro-Logan, and liked the other characters as well, specifically Mac and Beaver. I didn't have much contact with the Sheriff Lamb fans, mostly because the actor seriously rubbed me the wrong way, but I guess they could be called a "neutral block," who was mostly pro-Veronica, too.

(Personally, I have little love for Logan and don't quite understand the accolades for the actor, but it's very possible that this was influenced by everything that went down in fandom during Season Two.)

Err, when New Who started?

I thought maybe it was during QAF, but I have no idea how he was perceived back then.
