I'm actually glad the fandom is increasing, I am. I love the series and hope people get into it and I can have fun and thoughtful discussions with them about the canon (except about Hannibal Rising).

The thing I, and I get the feeling maybe other people here, have issue with is the amount of character assassination that is going to occur because fandom is fandom and the people who like to reduce fascinating characters like Will and Lector down to one dimensional buttsex buddies always seem to be the loudest of the new members when a fandom first gets big. I know this will die down, but I can't blame people for having a kneejerk DO NOT WANT reaction.
