I've been a Buffy fan for 10 years, when I watched it I always fantasized about meeting the cast but I never thought I got the chance. And then Amber Benson (Tara Maclay) came to my hometown when she was doing a tour of the UK and doing signings. My town is known for nothing, there was no reason for her to have even heard of it before and yet I met her, she signed one of the Buffy comics she wrote that I'd gotten a few weeks before and I had my picture taken with her and she gave me a hug.
And I truly believe that one day I will get the same opportunity to do so with Shannen. You just have to stay positive. No one knows what the future holds
*hugs*
