The 2008 Wish List

[yourlibrarian]

Just a reminder that on Jan 1 buffyversetop5 will be open for all your 2008 recs. Essays, icons, archives, anything fan made that was active or created in 2008 is eligible.

Looking for particular sorts of recs? We’ve got a number of tag and memory categories so don’t forget to browse those. But this is a special post for people to let their fellow community members know what they’re hoping to get for the holidays.

Comment below with a line or two about what recs you’ve been hoping to see. If you see requests here that you could make a post about, start putting a Top 5 list together! The more people post, the more likely everyone will find what they’re looking for. Just remember, it must be fanmade Buffyverse or Firefly material created or continued in 2008.

Let’s not forget that one of the reasons for this community is to thank the creative people who have given us their work this year. Any Scrooge-like comments will be shown the door.

Remember, comments below should be your own wishes ONLY. Respond with Top 5 lists posted to the community once we open. If you have any questions about the Wish List post them here.

I'd like to see a list of Willow het fics.


Gabrielle

[menomegirl.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see someone rec fics, ficlets or drabbles that made people laugh out loud, any pairing or no pairing at all.

[cafedemonde.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see more Spike/Connor fic rec'd, longish in length would be great.

Also, more Spike/Willow, and Epic length Spike/Angel, cuz think it takes a long time for those boys to get through the issues.

I'd love to see people's favourite post-NFA Buffy/Angel recs.

[beloved4always.livejournal.com]

favorite post-NFA spuffy fics

[ffutures.livejournal.com]

Character deaths, especially funny ones.

[katekat]

I'd love to see Spike/Tara fics, and Spike/Wesley

Also, would love to see fic art that people are inspired by (or heck, fic art in general), and people's favorite manips

[copa-cetic.livejournal.com]

Angel-centric fic, and pre-Chosen Buffy/Angel.

[snickfic]

I'd love to see a list of Buffy/Firefly and Angel/Firefly crossover fics, het or gen.

Also, Spike/Illyria fic - either shippy or gen would be great.

[rebcake.livejournal.com]

I love to find funny (or interesting) Buffyverse minor character stories. Preferably with Spike in the mix, but not necessarily.

[mommanerd.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see some nice "romantic" fic recs - the stories that melt your heart and make your toes curl.

[sevendeadlyfun.livejournal.com]

Well there are tons of good wishes up there! I'd like to see some good Fanged Four fics, with no bashing. Happy, angsty, naughty...but definitely no bashing.

[silver_galaxy]

I'd like to see William/Buffy, especially where Buffy goes back in time (if she was allowed to stay there that would also be great :) )

[lynnalso.livejournal.com]

Post NFA Spuffy and humor fics please

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Anything with Xander is always welcome :) I'd like to see some reccing S8 fics as well as Spuffy fics that are Scoobies-friendly.

[clawofcat.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see a list of rare het fics, preferably angsty. Particular pairings of interest are Buffy/Xander and anything with Dawn or Faith.

I'm also interested in gen or het fics featuring minor AtS female characters like Kate, Illyria, or Gwen. Thanks!

[sockmonkeyhere.livejournal.com]

Spike/Fred fics would put me over the moon with happiness!

[xc-runner50.livejournal.com]

I'd like some recs of awesome post nfa spuffy fics.

[silver_galaxy]

Fred/Wes fics :)

[winsomeone.livejournal.com]

Recs for humorous fics in the BtVS or AtS world please- any pairing (slash is okay, too) or no pairing at all- I'd love the chance to really laugh out loud.

[dandieelyon.livejournal.com]

ohhhh...Wes/Dawn or Wes/Faith would be loverly! :)

[mulder200.livejournal.com]

I would like some recs to some good Spander (Spike/Xander, William/Xander) fics. It would be a treat if they were in character as well.

[shadowscast.livejournal.com]

I second this request! I used to know what was up in the world of Spander, but in 2008 I've been out of touch!

[spikes-evilbint.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see some really angsty dark fics - either Spuffy or slash having Spike with Angel or Lindsey ideally :)

[speakingsilence.livejournal.com]

I'd love to see humorous character-focused vids, not necessarily without ships or slash, but vids that capture and celebrate one or more of the characters with song and image.

[timothymcdonald.livejournal.com]

Spander. Not crossovers or threesomes/moresomes, honest to goodness, straight forward Spander. As a couple, pre-slash, friends, master and pet, just Spander!

[xc-runner50.livejournal.com]

How about some role reversal with spike being slayer and Buffy the ex-evil vamp who is now in love with the slayer!

[annabuffy.livejournal.com]

I would love to see some recs of Spuffy fics NFA or not where Buffy grows a spine and tells her "friends" to mind their own business. And, always good, are some Angelus coming back sane and reclaiming his boy, Spike.
