1999 August 18, Stephanie Pollanen, “Re: And now, a word for the people in the”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[1] (Usenet):
there's nothing new going on in buffydom, at least until the new season starts, and you don't have to read the thread if you don't want to.
1999 September 4, NetGrlWill, “Re: Newbie”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[2] (Usenet):
Welcome to the group. And welcome to Buffydom. I, too, look forward to the new season.
2000 March 18, Chris Hill, “A newbie writes...”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[3] (Usenet):
I have come to Buffydom somewhat late in the game - the series having been shown for quite some time now in the UK.
2001 February 19, First Fallen, “Re: Spike question”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[4] (Usenet):
Welcome to one of the most hotly debated topics in Buffydom.
2002, Gayle Macdonald, "Why she slays us", The Globe and Mail, 22 January 2002:
In the meantime, the kingdom of Buffydom continues to grow. Buffy's one-time mentor, Giles (British actor Anthony Stewart Head), is getting his own show on the BBC.
2002 February 15, millernate, “Nate's late Older and Far Away review (spoilers)”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[5] (Usenet):
Of course the fact that Tara was in the episode probably jumped the likeability quotient (of course I'm the only fan in all of Buffydom that actually liked Family so my credibility is blown all to heck :) ).
2002, Rachel Thompson, "Staking It To The Man", Herizons, Summer 2002, page 25:
On the many chatrooms dedicated to Buffydom, fans refer to it as "the incredible shrinking Buffy," most evident during the fighting sequences, when Sarah Michelle Gellar's stunt double (who actually has curves) switches off not-so-seamlessly with Gellar.
2013, Liz Medendorp, "Buffyspeak: The Internal and External Impact of Slayer Slang", in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (ed. Jennifer K. Stuller), page 67:
There are, however, strong roots in Valley Girl expressions and some slayer jargon has been established by both the show itself and the early years of Buffydom online.
2017, Anahid Kassabian, "Afterword", in Music, Sound and Silence in Buffy the Vampire Slayer (eds. Paul Gregory Attinello, Janet K. Halfyard, & Vanessa Knights), page 249:
The current volume, however, is not only a major contribution to academic Buffydom.

2000 April 20, LARESNICK, “Re: Voice Your Unpopular Opinions In Here”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[6] (Usenet):
I'm enjoying S4, but I've wondered, as it progresses, if Xander's role in Buffydom is going to -go- anywhere this year.
2000 December 14, Jerry McLaughlin, “Re: Moral Relativism on BtVS (was re: Poopiehead Outrage”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[7] (Usenet):
That wouldn't really surprise me - the idea that just this one class of beings is utterly, iredeemably[sic] evil seems to conflict with everything else in Buffydom, where we're repeatedly reminded that just because someone's a ______ (demon, half demon, witch, werewolf, etc) doesn't automatically mean they're evil.
2000 December 16, Jerry McLaughlin, “Family”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[8] (Usenet):
Is Tara the only human character in Buffydom who isn't an only child (not counting the special case of Dawn)?
2000 December 21, Jerry McLaughlin, “Re: Buffy Running - a Different Interpretation”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[9] (Usenet):
What's pretty consistent in Buffydom is that when any character is drinking significantly (except possibly Spike), it means they are an emotional mess.
2003 March 26, Dan Armato, “Re: 7th Season Buffy - Lies My Parents Told Me - 5 star poll - SPOILERS AHOY”, in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer[10] (Usenet):
If there is one thing that has been consistant[sic] in Buffydom, it is that revenge is not a good thing.
2014, Lori M. Butler, "'The Ants Go Marching': Effective Lyrics in Buffy Episodes", in The Truth of Buffy: Essays on Fiction Illuminating Reality (eds. Sally Emmons-Featherston & Jim Ford), page 121:
Dawn and the others, much like ants, are oblivious to reality and live in the miniscule[sic] world of Buffydom (the kingdom of the Slayer), just as we might find ourselves marching like ants through our own lives in mindless routine.
Noun: "(fandom slang) the state or quality of being a vampire slayer"
