Veronica Mars aired on The WB and later The CW from 2004 to 2007. It was not renewed for a fourth season, though in January 2009 creator Rob Thomas confirmed that plans are afoot for a VM movie.[1]
On March 13, 2013, Rob Thomas launched a Kickstarter Campaign to raise funds for a Veronica Mars movie. The campaign was a success, raising $US 5,702,153 from fans of the TV series by April 12, 2013, and breaking a number of Kickstarter records.[2] The film was released on March 14, 2014.
Fandom
Controversy
A major controversy in VMars fandom occurred at the end of Season 1, when the resolution of the seasonal mystery proved unsatisfactory to some fans. This led to a multifandom discussion of a culture of squee versus a culture of critique.
Pairings
By far the most popular pairing in VMars fandom is Logan Echolls/Veronica Mars, which some fans call LoVe, in keeping with the namesmoosh tradition.
Other popular pairings include Weevil/Veronica (WeeVer), Veronica/Duncan, and Weevil/Logan. There's also a significant amount of femslash.
Crossovers are moderately common, especially with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Supernatural, with Veronica Mars/Dean Winchester and Veronica Mars/Buffy Summers the most common crossover ships.
