When did you become a fan?

**andrew r** · 01-18-2007, 03:29 PM

Or what made you a fan? Simple questions really.

As for me it was around the 3rd series of Buffy when I liked her. But I guess it was after seeing her in Cruel Intentions I was really hooked! It was after seing her play such a bad girl that I thought 'Hey she's cool!' and also showed me that she wasn't just Buffy. I guess I could say about how brilliant she is in that role (and why I'm still peeved at her getting no awards for it), but I won't. Oh dear! I just did!

When I watched Scooby Doo ( the movie ...lol...) for the first time !!!!!!

I was teaching summer school in 92, and on this particular day it was HOT!! Ya know how you get into your car, parked in the sunlight for 5 hours, and the steering wheel feels like liquid? Very HOT!! It was an old Rabbit - no A/C!! So I sped home, let the dog into the backyard, grabbed a beer, turned up my A/C unit, turned on the TV (manual; NO remote) and fell into my Lazyboy. This show was just starting, these kids were dancing - and this one girl in what I have since termed her sailor outfit (although it really wasn't) caught my attention - and held it throughout the show. She was good!! She was cute!! She was surrounded by amateurs!! So, when the end credits ran, I paid close attention: the show was Swans Crossing, and I've been a fan of Sarah's ever since.

I guess I was a late starter and really didn't learn to appreciate Sarah until I accidentally tuned into "Buffy". It didn't take long for me to be hooked on Sarah's amazing acting ability. I started collecting the entire series on DVD and then I was buying everything I could get my hands on regarding Sarah and "Buffy". What really got me was the number of books available and I think I have read at least 90% of them. I found myself wanting to do something to promote Sarah's career and the only thing I could think of was through fan art. I have been making wallpapers for her fans for several years now and have recently gone over 500.

**andrew r** · 01-20-2007, 12:19 PM

Swans Crossing, Ed? We've never had it shown over here, which is a shame. They did show her infamous Burger King advert on one of those 'Before they were famous' shows. She looked cute.

blessed be my angel sarah · 01-20-2007, 07:05 PM

When my mate forced me to sit down and watch Becoming parts 1&2. I cried my eyes out and was in complete "AWW" of her as she was gorgeous and couragous. Just what I wanted to be. But surprisingly it still took me another 4 months {I think} before I bought season 1 on video and since that day I have been in love with her.

I got into Sarah back in 1993 when she debuted on All My Children. I used to watch soap opera's alot back then and when sarah debuted as Kendall, I grew to like her alot on the show. I was upset when she left the soap but once I saw her on Buffy I was happy again.

Krissu · 01-21-2007, 01:34 PM

basically at the beginng of Buffy
I saw a commercial for a new series about vampires and slayers, and it was so new subject it cought my interest. I sat down to wwatch first episode to see ohow it is, and I got hooked. But I used to see her only as a good girl. Cruel Intentions opend my eyes how well she actually can act. that movie blew me away

**andrew r** · 01-22-2007, 03:58 PM

It's quite interesting reading American fans posts, and the different shows that got them into Sarah. As in Europe, she's really known for just playing Buffy on TV.

ohiofan · 01-22-2007, 04:19 PM

Listening to Ed reminisce about SC, I certainly hope it comes out on DVD someday. I imagine it would have to be on a Region 2 DVD to work for you Andy. It would be nice to have that to look forward to.

CI did the same thing for me, Krissu.

eadweard · 01-23-2007, 01:44 AM

I pray everyday for a Swans Crossing DVD set; 65 half-hour episodes - the BIG disappontment with the series was its cancellation after one season, so there were a whole slew of dangling threads, which some fansites have attempted to solve with their own fanfic. And CI is a phenomenal showcase for Sarah!!

**andrew r** · 01-23-2007, 03:50 PM

I'd really like to see some of these eps, just to see her in a pre Buffy role.

eadweard · 01-24-2007, 01:18 AM

There are pix to be found, of course, at different sites from SC, and I did post a while back a vid from SC of Sarah emerging from a pool. There are some sellers on eBay with SC DVDs of varying quality, plus YouTube has some SC eps - also of varying quality. But no official DVD collection.

**andrew r** · 01-26-2007, 01:58 PM

No dvd's? That's not on. Could you post the vid up please?

Thanks Ed! I'll keep watching for those DVD's!

Thanks for the link Ed

**andrew r** · 01-30-2007, 03:56 PM
