buffyversetop5For those of you who don't know, Tumblr is a blogging site where people share images, videos, music, and more in an easy-to-use interface. Its Buffyverse fanbase has grown exponentially this year, as have the communities devoted to various characters, pairings, and the shows themselves.
My top five picks of this year, in no particular order:
1) Buffy Secrets/Buffy Ship Secrets (recently divided to slow down the bitter ship wars): People can submit secrets and opinions pertaining to BtVS and AtS, and much discussion follows. Not for the faint of heart! :D
2) Cordy/Angel: It's always a pleasure to see a community like this one, where the maintainers are devoted to both regular posting and intelligent posting, giving a daily fix of C/A that's more than just images and often comes in the form of reblogged discussions and squeeage. I originally followed the community as a non-shipper, but C/A won me over with enough of those wonderful, thoughtful posts.
3) Spike Memes: Romance Impaired Spike, Innuendo Spike, and many other incarnations of Spike at his most entertaining (and befuddling). This blog runs on submissions, so it's not as active as we'd all love it to be, but each post is a gem. Remember, we kid because we love!
4) Spike/Buffy: Expect a constant overload of all things Spuffy, and with a new management wholly devoted to the ship and quick to share their thoughts on the photos they reblog. This blog is unusual among the shippy blogs in that there's almost always something to reblog, and you can count on new posts appearing on our dashboard as often as ten or twenty times a day.
5) Whedon Caps: Their blurb reads, "If you love the combination of Joss Whedon and pretty screencaps then this is the right place for you." Not exclusively Buffyverse, but BtVS and AtS do make up the majority of its caps.
(Runners-up: Lilah Morgan, Stupid Faces of Whedon, Whedon Ladies, The Denisof Family, FyBuffyverse. Full list of communities here.)
