With apologies (well, not really) to John Edwards, I think there are two Sunnydales represented in the Buffyverse, two Sunnydales represented in the fandom.
One is the gothic fantasy, the place where Buffy has dramatic, sweeping romances with vampires, where Slayers turn to dark and back, where there are hunter and hunted and epic fights.
One is the metaphor for life and friendship, the place where great friends play with each other's hair and watch old movies, cast love spells and wrestle with their old crushes and jobs and school.
Which one do you live in, when you come to town as a fan?
