Comment: A Fuffy story based on a dream the author had. It's a coffee-shop AU, but HOW. :)) As a side note, I appreciate how many of the original canon Slayers appear here.

5 random fics in 2018 I've enjoyed

[sparrow2000.livejournal.com]

There is no particular theme that connects these apart from that they're all pretty short and do their job very well.

The Watcher’s Mistress by elisi is a great Buffy/Dr Who ficlet in which Giles and Missy find themselves compatible. This is a lovely idea, nicely executed.

5 Author Interviews Recorded by The Sunnydale Fanfic Club in 2018

[thenewbuzwuzz]

The podcast The Sunnydale Fanfic Club is one of my favorite things that have been happening in Buffy fandom lately. I love how interactive and community-oriented it is, and I love getting writing advice and story trivia from some of my favorite authors, hearing about the experiences of other fans, and discovering bits of fandom history. This list is going to be highly subjective, so if interviews with Buffyverse fanfic authors sound fun, I recommend browsing their annotated episode list on libsyn to see for yourself which episodes might interest you. Below are some of the ones I enjoyed most. Assume all episodes are NSFW by default.
