5 Great Gen Takes on Rare Female Characters

The little gals often have big stories, sadly hidden from the viewer. Fortunately, we have many talented writers who can spotlight them beautifully. Here are a few of the many standouts from 2011:


Unexpected Assignment (PG), by [livejournal.com profile] hello_spikey (Lydia the Watcher, the Scooby Gang)
When Giles resigns his position after The Gift, the Council sends a familiar replacement.

How Sunday’s gang came to live in Psi Theta house (G), by [livejournal.com profile] bob_tales (Sunday, Luke, Mayor Wilkins)
In Sunnydale, even zoning issues are comedy gold.

Buffybot's Great Adventure (PG13), by [livejournal.com profile] amyxaphania (Buffybot, Harmony)
Willow sends Buffybot on an unsupervised out-of-town slaying assignment. Wackiness ensues.

Defining Characteristics (PG), by [livejournal.com profile] brutti_ma_buoni (Vi, various newbie Slayers)
How is one Slayer to stand out among the many?

The Very Small Girl and the Monster (PG), by [livejournal.com profile] snickfic (Future Slayer River, Spike)
Slayer dreams teach River how to handle lots of kinds of monsters in this Buffy/Firefly crossover.

Great recs. Was going to rec that Lydia one myself. I love it.

I love it, too, no surprise! (I'm saving up your Darla/Spike one for an all-vamp list, if nobody snakes it first.)
