There is so much I want to say about Buffy and corners of Buffy fandom and what the fanfic is like but I so don't want to spoil it.
I'm a late comer, too. I fell in love with Buffy the summer Deathly Hallows came out and Buffy was such a balm. As I was mourning the multiple losses of HP, I had a new love to distract me. And in many ways, it's so much more satisfying.
It's not to diminish HP in any way but I've got way more cannon in the Buffyverse to work with. Plus characters I like a lot more than I like some of the characters in HP.
There's great fanfic out there for Buffy. Just hold off reading it until you've finished the series. I know that's a lot to ask but, these days, all the fic is jumbled together and it's hard to find the early stuff. And there are spoilers a plenty in the later stuff. Stuff you want to smack you upside the head when you're watching the show, not be confused by in fanfic.
