Thought i'd contribute a little with my humble list consisting of my fave meta writers.

The Dawn of Miss Kitty Fantastico, or why I’m pretty sure Dawn Summers is actually a cat. Interesting theory about why Miss Kitty is written off with little explanation (although she in season five at least once, something the author failed to notice). I find the idea creative and oddly possible, minus her appearance in Family.

Angel the Series Prompt-a-Thon
"This is a collaborative project intended to bring together the AtS fandom and produce a lot of awesome fanwork."

Awesome Ladies Ficathon

"So in light of a certain network's massive fail *cough*CBS*cough*, it seemed like a good time to celebrate fictional women. Not that anyone needed the excuse."

BtVS/AtS Non-Canon Ships Comment Ficathon
(STILL ONGOING)
"This is a comment ficathon themed around pairings from Buffy or Angel (or both!) that are not canonical pairings."

Awesome Characters of Color Are Awesome
"Inspired by a random comment on my circle/flist (I do not know which one, they blur together!) I am throwing this up for some fun, because, EEE. Borrowing from the amazing [profile] ineffort's idea of a few months back (The Awesome Ladies Ficathon if you all recall. *loved it so*)..."

Bechdel Test Comment a Thon
"That's right, ladies and gentlemen-who-love-ladies. A comment fic-a-thon devoted to the interactions between your favorite female characters. "

Honorable mentions: Doomed Ship Comment Ficathon, Dark Ship Prompt Meme, The Multi-Fandom Threesome Comment ficathon (ON GOING), and the lost Queerly Awesome Comment Ficathon.

I doubt that anyone would mind getting a drabble so if you feel inspired by a prompt, post it. There are a lot of great prompts still waiting to be filled out in the above comment ficathons.

snickfic: Buffy looking over her shoulder (Default)

Or at least, groups of two or more people ready to embark on plot. Mostly ensemble, mostly fics in which things happen. :)

1. Dreamchain, by [livejournal.com profile] erimthar
S5 - Scoobies, almost-OCs
Vampire plague is about to, er, plague Sunnydale, and the Scoobies are on the case -- as are the Korean Slayer of 1933 and her gumshoe sidekick Sid. Excellent character voices, but what I love most about this fic are Sid and Cho, whom I'd happily read whole fics about. Barbara Stanwyck glamour and the Slayer burden, plus Sid "cracking wise": what's not to like?

True to the tradition of la doleur exquise, these fives stories broke my heart and left me in love with the pain.


A Shadow Flits Before Me by [livejournal.com profile] ladyofthelog 

In this love affair that spans centuries and knows no limit, Buffy and Spike are forever missing their moment.  Verity captures the essence of the Victorian period in this beautiful award-winning one-shot that explores the concept of love and Spiritualism.  The effect of this story is, quite simply, profound.

The sun is so bright, and he wants to pull her into the shade, back with him, where it's safe, where he can keep her whole, or at least no more broken than he is. "I know enough of heaven," he says, at last. "No other place could hold you."

The Rose by [livejournal.com profile] coalitiongirl
http://coalitiongirl.livejournal.com/tag/rose
http://dark-solace.org/elysian/viewstory.php?sid=3006&warning=NC-17
NC-17 ~165,000 words. Buffy/Spike, Spike/other.
What if Buffy's slayer potential has been discovered by The Watchers Council in due time? What if she'd been sent to The Watchers Academy where the potential slayers get education and training? What if The Council had caught the members of The Fanged Four and kept them as prisoners and sparring partners for future slayers?
There definitely are some elements of Hogwarts template in the set-up, but the story itself is fresh and original. This unique AU-verse is based on the premise that in the middle of XX century The Watcher Council and The Initiative joined forces, and one of the consequences was the modernization of the Slayer system. As a result, we see all the familiar faces in the new circumstances. Complex, inventive plotting, spot-on voices, fast-moving narrative, paradoxical morality and fascinating choices make "The Rose" a must-read.
