Still Going Strong – Thank You!

[yourlibrarian]

buffyversetop5's 2008 session is now closed.

I think one thing we saw at Top 5 this year is that there's no shortage of things to rec! There was a wealth of material listed and this bodes very well for 2009 and a rollout of fics, vids, graphics and more. We saw familiar names and new names coming into the mix, which is what a fandom needs to keep going.

Many thanks to all the people who keep both the fandom and this seasonal project alive. This includes everyone who posted and commented and, of course, our mods petzipellepingo, shapinglight, and debris4spike. We'll be back at the end of October for our Classic Recs session. So if anything didn't make it into this 2008 session (or any of our earlier sessions), we'll be looking forward to seeing it then! Keep us in mind as you find things you enjoy throughout the year. An easy way to keep track of things is to click posts into Memories with a Top 5 keyword, so that they can be more easily put together into lists at year-end. Also, recs you make throughout the year can be recycled here when we open again.

Have a great year everyone!

A very enjoyable load of rec's that'll take me ages to get through. *g*

Looking forward to the next time already. :)

As always, an awesome run. Any possibility of adding Dr. Horrible to the Top 5?

[yourlibrarian]

Yay! With everything that was recced it will definitely take some time to get through :>

[yourlibrarian]

I'm certainly open to the idea. We can run a poll when we next open and see if people would like to add it to the mix in January.

Thanks so much for all the work you all do in making this so successful. It's really appreciated - so many great things to read!

[yourlibrarian]

It's always great to know people find it worthwhile. Thanks for telling us!

Thanks for another great year. 8 ]

Thanks to you all for running this most excellent site. I've been starting read fics and loving having this stash available whenever I get the need for good fic.

[brunettepet.livejournal.com]

Thanks for putting this together again. It's delightful that there was so much activity and several recommendations that I wouldn't have found otherwise.

Wonderful job everyone! I really enjoyed this session and I look forward to getting through all the many recs.

[shadowscast.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much to everyone who organized this session, and everyone who posted recs! I look forward to a lot of good reading in the months to come. :-)

[shapinglight]

It's gone really well, hasn't it? So many things to look at and enjoy.

Thank you for organizing the event! It was an awesome season!

[lusciousxander.livejournal.com]

I'm so excited for the fics I haven't read, so many wonderful stuff had been recced. Thank you so much for another wonderful session :)

[goodbyebird]

Thanks so much for another great round. It's probably gonna take me all year to get through it all, but I'm looking forward to it ♥

2008 was my first full year in the fandom, so this was my first experience with buffyversetop5. What a fabulous way to dispel the post-holiday blahs and celebrate the year in fandom! Thanks so much to you and all the mods for your work on the project. ::scatters rose petals at your feet::

[louise39.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the awesome job! A great way to celebrate all the wonderful fic and art that is available.

[yourlibrarian]

You're welcome, and we hope to see you back!

[yourlibrarian]

It is handy to have everything collated in one place. Glad it's getting used!

[yourlibrarian]

Thanks to you as well for all the comments :>

[yourlibrarian]

That's great to hear, and I'm sure all the writers and artists will be glad to get new readers and viewers.

[yourlibrarian]

It's definitely nice to be able to quickly find some recs when you're short on time ;>

[yourlibrarian]

It has. ::hugs:: to you, Deb and Petzi.

[yourlibrarian]

Thanks to you, for helping make it that way!

[yourlibrarian]

Thanks again for all the rec lists!

[yourlibrarian]

*g* Well that's one reason we're not open more often. People need time to get all that fic written, those manips made and those vids vidded!

[yourlibrarian]

We do have a lot to enjoy, and everyone's lists really brings that home.

[yourlibrarian]

That is so wonderful to hear. Every community needs newcomers reading, contributing and also sticking around! And there's no way any of us sees everything that gets posted during the year, so it's good to catch it on another go-round.

Thanks so much for running this again. As a first timer at both rec'ing and being rec'ed here, it's been huge fun to participate and has led me down many enticing byways already.

Oh look...there's another one I want to read..*wanders*

[yourlibrarian]

Hee! Thank you and have fun in your wanderings :>
