Well, there’s a lot of confetti to be swept up around here!

We wanted to thank everyone who posted here and thus made this idea work, everyone who commented and gave people a reason to keep posting, and the various people who have given us a hand here at Top 5 including the wonderful folks who helped us decorate [livejournal.com profile] amavel_bel, [livejournal.com profile] ruuger, and [livejournal.com profile] kathyh, and our associate mods [livejournal.com profile] petzipellepingo, [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue, and [livejournal.com profile] frimfram who helped us get all those party platters out. Thanks bunches from both of us.


For those of you who are just popping in on this community for the first time, the bar is closed for now but will re-open on October 28 2006 for a 4-day Classic Recs weekend where any and all non-2006 material will be posted aplenty until Halloween is at an end. In the meantime, please look around!

You can access all the recs two ways. If you are browsing, try the Library view or the Memories list. If you’re looking for something specific you may want to go directly to the tag categories or through Memories.

The Community List remains open for additions anytime during the year as a place to pimp communities, new and continuing. If you're looking for places to join check out the list!

If you’d like to get the word out about Top 5 during this next year, have a look at our icons post and snag as many as you like. And if you just want to say hello or make suggestions for next year, please comment here. Whether or not we do a Top 5 2006 is up to you!

And thanks to both of you for putting together this great little community that will now act as a great little archive for all things Buffy/Angel!

A great job! Thank you. I don't think I've commented more than once, but there's been so much posted and so often!! So much to read, see, etc. thank you, thank you, thank you!

Glad to know the community will remain open all year, and I'll be saving recs for the Halloween weekend.

quick question: Re the halloween weekend---- this is just for scary fics?

Thanks :)
quick question: Re the halloween weekend---- this is just for scary fics?
No, we chose Halloween because it is usually a holiday weekend so people might find it easier to post. Also it has some resonance with the fandom :)
The recs that you can post there are everything but 2006 creations - so your Top 5 Favourite XX of All Time (prior to this year).

Thank you for all the hard work you've put into this. It really showcases the breadth of the work done in the Buffyverse in 2005 and I'm looking forward to reading & looking at lots of the recommendations that I haven't managed to yet.

All I need to do now is get a few reams of paper to print out the stuff I bookmarked to take away with me.

Smooches all involved again. It was great.

Was it good for you too?

I just wanted to say thanks to the mods and to all those who offered their 'Top Five' lists in January. I've enjoyed them all immensely.

Thank you for doing this. What a wonderful way to let people share their favs with others who may not have known about those writers/sites/communities/artists/ etc etc etc.I was a great idea!

Applauds our mods for coming up with this idea in the first place and then running everything beautifully and smoothly. So many lovely items to enjoy, ponder and love to pieces.
Great job ladies!

Thanks so much to you too Petzi for all your help and wonderful enthusiasm. I agree that it's certainly showed me how much stuff is going on outside the f-list. And that's great to see.
Thanks very much for your kind words :)

Thanks again to the both of you for a very well-modded (is that word?) rec comm that gave me lots of new things to choose from. I'm glad I could help in any small way. You're both much appreciated!

Heh. It should be a word. Perhaps it's a fannish word. :)
Thanks for all your help Sue. It's been wonderful to see the recs you've come up with and I'm glad that you've found some new-to-you stuff as well.
Thanks very much for your kind words :)
