It's October, time to prep for Classic Recs!

[yourlibrarian]

For those of us in the northern hemisphere we may be seeing pumpkins popping up, cooler weather on the rise, and shorter days. But no matter where you live, October means one thing ...

Yes, Halloween, but also Buffyverse Classic Recs!

If you haven't taken part before, this is what you can start collecting:

1) Recs to any fan-created works on the Buffyverse from any time before 2010.
2) Crossovers involving the Buffyverse are a-ok!

And to start things off, here are some treats for you to spread the fun.

Starting at midnight GMT on October 28 (that’s midnight for New Zealand, 6 PM ET in the U.S. on Oct 27) we’ll be celebrating Halloween through all the time zones. Four days for you to bring your all-time favorite recs of fics, vids, graphics, anything and everything fandom has produced on the Buffyverse!

If you missed Top 5 when it was last open in January or you’ve been wanting to post your earlier recs, now’s the time! If you haven’t posted at Top 5 before, please take a look at our FAQ page for tips on how to post.

ETA: Sorry about the apparently invisible icons. I think it has to do with the way LJ has cached my now non-accessible scrapbook account. I can see them but no one else can -- mysterious!

Here are a set of Classic Recs icons made for us by eyesthatslay

Top 5 will be open all through Halloween night for all your recs so get those lists ready! If you have any questions, just post them here.

Just FYI the page your 'here are some treats for you' link goes to has missing graphics.

[yourlibrarian]

Hmm, I see 16 icons on the page, 11 static and then 5 animated. Are they not showing up for you?

[crevanfox.livejournal.com]

just blank boxes with little red X's in them.

[yourlibrarian]

Fixed (I hope!)

[snickfic]

Yeah, I can't see the icons either.

[yourlibrarian]

Try reloading this page now.

*sniff* No icons???? I can´t see them either... *sniff*

[yourlibrarian]

Fixed (I hope!)

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Alas! I'm just seeing boxes with a x.

[vikingprincess]

same here. woe. :( but those banners look great!

[yourlibrarian]

Yay! Try re-loading this page now, they should be here.

[yourlibrarian]

Have re-edited, it should work now.

Oh yay! I can't wait! Buffyverse top 5 will always hold a special place in my heart.

[yourlibrarian]

Whee, we're back! Spread the cheer :)

[dulcedeusex.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I finally get to post my recs! Whee!

[yourlibrarian]

Yay!

I'm new to this but I believe I have five super fantastic goodies to share. But here are my questions:

By Buffyverse, do you mean Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel the Series or only Buffy?

Can it be five videos?

And just to be sure I understand the dates, the fanworks recced need to have been created by December 31st, 2009, right?

[yourlibrarian]

Hi! Great to have a new face joining in!

Yes, Buffyverse would be anything in Buffy, Angel, the new comics series, Fray, etc. Anything to do with that verse. And absolutely, it can be 5 videos. As long as it's fan-created, it can be any mix of things from any time period but 2010 (because we'll be doing those in January).

[werewolfsfan.livejournal.com]

I'll make at least one post then. Is there a schedule or any time on October 29 - 31?

[yourlibrarian]

Nope, any time that we're open will be fine for posting :)
