Again, people are still writing stories, and lots of them.  The only
thing that's taken a hit, as near as I can tell, is shipping the Fab
Four with each other.  Well, that and W/K just never took off.  When
you see tons of complaints calling Kennedy a manipulative stalker
coming between Willow and Buffy, and most of it's coming from people
who AREN'T Wiffy shippers, you've got an unpopular character.  The
trend I've noticed with Willow shipping is Anyone But Kennedy. 
Willow's getting shipped all over the place, with all kinds of people,
especially with how popular crossover fic has become. Between them,
Buffy, Willow, Dawn, and Faith are working their way through most of
the Harry Potter cast (Ginny hasn't met a Slayer she won't tease),
especially Snape, for some reason.  Even Illyria's flirting with him.
He's become the Spike of HP fic.  :)
