Top 5 Crossovers of 2007

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

1. Waltz by Irenak (PG) - Firefly/Doctor Who - Sometimes when you crossover canons, you have to be careful about language. For example, calling a character a "companion" can have *very* different meanings in different fandoms. Unless, of course, that character is Captain Jack Harkness--in which case, both definitions might very well apply.
I loved this story's use of time travel, and any fic with a random appearance of Donna is a Good Thing. Irenak completely understands how Inara defies the madonna/whore complex by being both at the same time. My favorite section, though, is where Jack really wanted to cry but didn't want to admit it.

Top Five Xander/Spike 2007 Fics

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

Top Five Xander/Spike Fics:

1- Sandy Places in the Mind by gilascave: Finally, the first ever Spander fic I read was completed this year. This is the fic that made me both a Spander and a BtVS fan. This is the fic that started it all for me. Without this fic, I may not have been here. If you haven't read The Sands of Time at all, then shame on you, you are not a Spander fan. lol

Here's the link to the previous parts: Sands of Time

Top Five Season 8 Pairing Fics:

1- This isn't About Hate by stormwreath: Amy/Warren. This is a short story set in Season 6, giving two missing scenes - one from just after 'Doublemeat Palace', the other starting 3/4 of the way into 'Villains' - inspired by the new S8 storyline.

Top Five Places to Discuss Season 8 Comics

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

I know that woman_of_ beat me up to it, but there are other forums I'd like to mention. :)

1- BuffyForums (Formerly Known As BuffyWorld): This is the best place to discuss S8, simply because it raises the most interesting discussions, most of the best discussions I've read were in this forum.
