Top 5 Vids – BtVS Characters

[yourlibrarian]

Everyone’s got somewhere to go and they’re going to leave me here on my own

1. I’m Just a Kid by T&J Productions - All – The thing that struck me about this vid is what a great match the lyrics were for Dawn’s POV. I haven’t actually seen that many Dawn videos but I thought this one summed up her early years rather nicely.

Sharing my fave fics

[kcarolj65.livejournal.com]

These are probably familiar to all of you. But if not, give 'em a read - I guarantee you'll enjoy them. If you have, why not read 'em again?

Illumination by Annie Sewell-Jennings, and its sequel Incandescence. The first two Spuffy fics I ever read, and still dear to my heart. A bit of talk, a bit of ice cream and coffee, and eventually some sweet Spuffy lovin'.
( More great fics below! )

All these writers' works are wonderful, so don't stop w/these stories. Read 'em all and enjoy!

Top 5 Lizerrrbeathan Fanfics

[kcarolj65.livejournal.com]

If you haven't read Lizerrbeathan's wonderful Spuffy-centric fanfic, you are in for a treat. Liz's unswerving belief in stories-that-heal is evident in all she writes, and her style is insightful and whimsical, lovely and affecting - some of the sweetest, most love-affirming fics you'll ever read.

In no particular order, my faves are:

1. Snow Virgins and its sequel Spike by Snowlight. Begins post-Season 2 and ends twenty-some years later. "I can't imagine Heaven without you" (Buffy, to Spike).

My Top 5 Fanged Four Classic Videos

My Top 5 Fanged Four Individual Character Videos

[so-sharlemaine.livejournal.com]

These videos are Fanged Four-ish, but with a focus on an individual member of the group. They really remind me of why I love the Buffy-verse vampires so much. Along with the videos in my last post, these are the vids that I burn to DVD and put on the TV screen to play in the background while doing my housework. These are all pre-2006.

[yourlibrarian]

To get your classic recs in. Top 5 will be closing in 12 hours. It will reopen on December 30 GMT for Top 5 2006.

Before we close I’d like to ask if anyone reading is able to volunteer for any of the following:

(2) A new banner for the 2006 posting period.
(3) Some new 2006 icons. We have some great ones from last year available but it would be nice to have a few more with our new opening date or of some additional characters.

Please comment here if that might be you!

Everything I heard about this was true - I laughed, I cried and am still in awe of the whole project.

Scooby Road       by Luminosity  - Not sure if it is on line right now but if you get the chance you should see it.  I lost it at 'Here comes the sun' and don't care who knows it. ( Read more... )

Yes me again,  This first choice was recently remastered which, considering how superb the original was, you would think there was no  room for improvement. That said you should really check out

Top Five Favorite Fics

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

Giving this a shot - but it's one of those things where I either want to list twenty or thirty (assuming I wasn't such a senile old hussy and could actuall remember that many titles and authors LOL) or, if I have to be very selective, only one or two. Sigh. But I'm going to try for five. Here we go:

Whispers in a Dead Man's Ear (http://www.sand-in-my-shoes.com/mirror/WhispersMain.html) by amybnnyc Amazing writing and perfect voices.

Legions of True Hearts (http://www.loveslastglimpse.com/) by eurydice What can I say. Probably my favorite fic of all time.

Adieu, A Dew, I Do (http://www.lizerrrbeathan.com/AdieuADewIDo.html) by lizerrbeathan Oops, Maybe this is my favorite fic of all time? Oh dear!

Stay (http://anaross.livejournal.com/34265.html) by anaross Sigh. I am such an angst whore.

Top 5 Vids – Pairings - BtVS

[yourlibrarian]

You turn every head but you don’t see me

1. Strange and Beautiful by Charmax - All - I find this vid to be a perfect compliment to the Willow/Xander vid “Ordinary” which was recced here last year (and which I adore). Looking at Buffy/Xander, this vid also has a great match of music and topic, and yet unlike “Ordinary” has a dark element to it. I don’t know if that’s because in the early seasons Xander’s darkness was more obvious than Willow’s or just because it focuses on a male POV about an unrequited relationship but I found my reaction to it interesting.
