5 Completely Random Things I Enjoyed This Year

[molly_may]

Buffy S7 Character Arc Essay, by Spygrrl76 - Exactly as the title says, an essay charting Buffy's character growth in S7, and how it was impacted by the earlier seasons.

100+ icons by Ruuger - A huge, gorgeous selection of icons by one of my favorite icon makers, ruuger.

Toxic, by Lithium Girl - A fast-paced, fun video charting Buffy's "toxic" love life.

S7 Spike picspam, by Crackers4Jenn - crackers4jenn set out to prove that S7 Spike is seriously hot. No arguments from me!

Reader, I Destroyed Him, by Aycheb - To quote aycheb: "For this essay I want to look at how BtVS, rather than giving honourary man status to one girl’s story, rewrites multiple stories, lots of girls, lots of times and lots of different ways." I have huge, huge love for this essay.

Haven't read either essay, so really looking forward to those.

Picscam was fun(oh, how I miss Spike's crazy basement hair). I love it when she posts those.

I know, when I was finding the link for that picspam I had to stop and look through all of her other picspams too.:) So much fun to look at, and her commentary is hilarious.

Thanks, those two essays sound really interesting, I'll go and read :)

Thanks Petzi!

Thanks for the rec :-) Must check the rest but I loved Toxic as well, it's been quite a thin year for Buffy vids but this was up there with the best of them.

[molly_may]

It really was a slow year for Buffy vids. I'm waiting patiently for a Buffy vidding renaissance to take place, but I know I might be waiting for a while.;)

Great list. I've read aycheb's essay and seen ruuger's icons but I've never come across the others before.

I'm happy that I could find some things to recommend that haven't been mentioned in this community yet!

Heh, I have an icon to rec from that same post, it was filled with terrific icons :>

[molly_may]

I looove ruuger's icon posts. There's always lots I want to snag!
