5 Things That Are Not Like the Others

[snickfic]

I have a whole bunch of fics I want to rec, but for now, here's a collection of oddballs that deserve recognition:

1. If It Gives You Joy, by thedothatgirl. A vid made for More Joy Day, full of bits of Whedonverse joy. It makes me so happy.

2. BtVS Monopoly, by eowyn_315 and angearia. Just the thing for all your fannish gatherings!

3. And Y'Know, That's Just Spike Fandom, by rahirah - a tongue-in-cheek summary of the ebbs and flows of Spike fandom. Can you read it without laughing? Go ahead, I dare you.

4. Penguin!BtVS, by lots and lots of folks. Long ago, yea, in the dark of winter (at least for us in the northern hemisphere), gabrielleabelle made a fateful off-hand comment about all-penguin Spuffy AUs. Which meant then people had to write some. And make icons. And picspams. And generally have a grand old time. (Link goes to my index post; if you know of more penguin goodness that isn't listed there, please let me know!)

5. S8 Means Never Having to Say You're Kidding icons, by ladyofthelog. Jo Chen art + a catchphrase nabbed from the sparkly vampire fandom: the perfect match.
