Tara fans make profit from their loss.

Tara and Willow fan group The Kitten, the Witches and the Bad Wardrobe have marked season six's climactic death of Tara in an unusual and thoughtful way. Rather than taking out full-page ads in Variety campaigning for the character's return, as some other groups did, they decided to channel their woes into raising money for charity.

A spokesperson for the group told US gay and lesbian news-site The Advocate, "On the Kitten Board we saw countless young people describing how Willow and Tara had helped them through painful times, [and] had given them hope that they could be accepted in society.

"That’s why, when the relationship was destroyed in such a clichéd way, board members felt compelled to fight back, to help those making positive moves to change things for the future generations."

Since launching the campaign the Willow and Tara fansite, which has expanded to include a forum for gay and questioning teens, has raised over $8,000 for the Trevor Project.

American gay teens are three times as likely to attempt suicide than their straight peers. Set up in to promote tolerance and prevent these deaths occurring, the Trevor Project launched the first free 24/7 gay hotline, the Trevor Helpline, in 1998.
