In this election season I'm asking for your vote! buffyversetop5 is and always will be about sharing recs, but during this Classic Recs session I think it's probably apparent to everyone that as the fandom gets older, more and more material is disappearing or moving to different online spaces. As a result, a lot of us can't find things anymore.

This situation has always been particularly acute with vids. Something that seemed a solution for hosting problems a few years ago -- streaming sites like YouTube -- have been hit too as many vids disappeared from there in this last year due to copyright sweeps.

So I'd like to know if Top 5 should now also include fic/vid/art/etc. searches in its posts as well as recs. Given the short periods in which the community is open I think the typical spur-of-the-moment fic search isn't a good fit here. But especially during Classic Recs, which is all about sharing the enjoyment of older works, it seems posts that include recs for something the reccer hasn't been able to find would be a good way to get someone coming up with an answer.

How about it? Is this something you would like to see included? We don't have polling capabilities but a quick yes/no (or longer comment) will work.

My top 5 old school Spuffy fics

What can I say about these talented writers? The quality speaks for itself. These authors are the reason I originally started reading fiction.

I had great fun hunting these down & reading them again

My Top Five BtVS/AtS vids by Dualbunny

[shapinglight]

dualbunny is one of my favourite fan vidders, and here are five of her best BtVS/AtS ones from 2007 and before.

They Can’t Take That Away From Me, a Spangel vid that's both hilarious and affectionate, with music by Ella Fitzgerald. Can't be bettered.

Want. Take. Have: Top 5 Classic Faith Fics

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

1. Sympathy for the Devil by ladyoneill - Best. Faithfic. Ever. (Which is why it's above the cut.) I already know that it is considered one of the classics of Buffy-fanficdom and has been recced all over the place already, so I'd be surprised if anyone hasn't read it. However, if you haven't...oh boy!

Rogue Demon Hunter: Top 5 Wesley Wyndam-Pryce Fics

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

1. Absolution - Part I and Part II by minim_calibre (R) - This is my all-time favorite Wesley story (which is why it's above the cut). It's definitely in the Top 10 Best Buffyverse fan fictions I've ever read--probably in My Top Ten Best Fanfics Ever, in any fandom, actually. It also has the distinction of being the first baby!fic I'd read that I thought actually *worked*. This is particularly surprising, considering that it's the Chosen One herself who is pregnant (given the heading of this post, you likely can already guess who the father is). However, this story actually deals with the implications of the Hellmouth being sans Slayer. I mean, you really can't do a roundhouse kick in the third trimester. Without this fic, I probably would have never dared to read any other baby!fics, since it is a genre that is so rarely well-done.

Top 5 of My Personal Favourites

Not really a theme here, just five very, very good stories.

Sock Puppet Spike/Xander, Xander/OC NC17, by shadowscast, a wonderful, heartwrenching post-series story, in which Xander encounters a very changed Spike.
