It's easy to assume that fandoms we don't see don't exist; it's good to examine that periodically.

(I was reading the comments to a post about television shows that pass the Bechdel Test, and there is so much awesome there and so much I agree with, but Gilmore Girls isn't a show I'd tag as having a small fandom or insufficient fannish love - the TWOP GG forums were a scary place. And I know that because I was there, but there are a lot of other fandoms that exist on my periphery - do I think of Power Rangers or One Tree Hill as big fandoms? Do I even really know what Kingdom Hearts is?)

I wonder how much of it's due to 'historical' presence-- Inuyasha is way up there for a series that's been done for a while, but it was incredibly popular back in the day.

That's definitely part of it, yeah - the first Buffy story on there is from 1998.

Twilight might be a contender in the long term-- only five years old and #3!

The core ethical value that shows most in the book Seedfolks is rsepect because when they come together to grow the garden, they have to rsepect everyones ideas, personalities, cultures, races, and abilities. Without rsepect they wouldn't be able to work together growing the garden, and nobody would like each other.

Most likely had something to do with it. There really isn't as much Charmed fic as there was around when Season 4 and Season 6 was running.

The core ethical vauels I think Seed Folks deminstrates is responsibility and kindness. Because it took responsibility for Kim to take care of the seeds/ beans that she was planting in memorial of her father. Pluse the random people took responsibility to help Kim take care of the plants when they really didn't have to. Which tided into the core ethical value, kindness. Because, the random people were nice enough to help Kim with her beans which was kind of a random act of kindness. These are the reasons why Seed Folks demonstrates responsibility and kindness.

I think the core ethical value that is tugoht in the book Seedfolks is respect. I think this because all of the neighbors, even though they do not know each other, they still respect the fact that they are people and should be treated as such. All the neighbors treat each other fairly and never desturb other peoples garden. This is why I think respect is the core ethical value that is tugoht in the book Seedfolks .
