Thanks and Goodnight

[yourlibrarian]

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 amavel_bel, ruuger, and kathyh, and our associate mods petzipellepingo, crazydiamondsue, and 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!

*chucks another streamer*

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much, that's really appreciated. And we hope the archive will work too. Thanks for all your support as well :)

[yourlibrarian]

Our pleasure, and happy reading/viewing/enjoying :>

[mangosorbet007.livejournal.com]

I've bookmarked quite a few posts - maybe work will leave me some time for reading soon? Yeah right...

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that you've got new reading - but yep certainly opens your eyes up to how much is out there ;)

[jans-intentions.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I hope to see you do this again in 2006!

[yourlibrarian]

Many thanks for all of your contributions too, much appreciated!

[makd.livejournal.com]

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?

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thanks :)

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).

[semby.livejournal.com]

Thank you thank you thank you so much for all you've done here! Same to everyone who helped out and contributed. It's been a great run, nice reminders and good exposure to new stuff!

[yourlibrarian]

Yes, remembering the things we enjoyed is often just as nice as finding some new treats. Glad it was fun :>

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

Thanks for running this. It was great to see such a variety of recommendations :)

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thanks for saying so, and I'm glad you had a great time. The variety was all up to the posters, so kudos to them too ;)

[tesla321.livejournal.com]

This gave me a lot of good reading! Thanks to all of you!

[yourlibrarian]

Excellent! Thanks for letting us know.

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much for running this. It's an amazing archive of so many things Btvs and Angel related. And it's nice to know that it will be open later in the year for a 4days Classic Recs!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Yay! Can't wait to see what you've in store for the Classic Recs.
And thanks for your kind words, we're just pleased everyone enjoyed themselves :)

[jamalov29.livejournal.com]

And forgot to add that the banner is gorgeous !

[yourlibrarian]

Isn't it though? They've all been wonderful, we were so delighted.

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

Thank you! It's been good.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Excellent! Glad you thought so :)

[kathyh]

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.

[yourlibrarian]

So very true, I was really impressed by the number of categories we ended up with in tags and memories. And to think it's just a small fraction of everything that appears every day.

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

Thank you for such a great community! Such a great resource. I just realized I missed my chance to post, I've been having some computer issues, so I'm thrilled I'll get my chance next year.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Sorry to hear about computer problems, I share your pain as I've had more than enough of those.
Look forward to seeing what you come up with in the next rounds and thanks for your kind words :)

[http://users.livejournal.com/_sharvie_/]

And irony of ironies....I just got the darn thing back today. *face palm*
Ah, the joys of life. *snicker*
Hope your computer problems have been resolved.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thanks, it was mainly restrictions on computers. But that's behind me now.
Ah well ::pets you:: At least it's all go now for you :)

[shapinglight]

Thanks to all of you. You've been brilliant.

[yourlibrarian]

We were so happy to have folks show up, thanks very much!

[so-sharlemaine.livejournal.com]

It was a GREAT party! Thank you for throwing it and allowing us to rampage your home. We had a tremendous time!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Excellent! So pleased to hear you enjoyed yourself and thanks for all your posts too. :)

[hesadevilspike.livejournal.com]

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?

[yourlibrarian]

Hee, great icon-comment match! Eeep, that might be a lot of paper alright :>

[chrisleeoctaves.livejournal.com]

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.

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, really happy to hear that you've enjoyed yourself. Thanks for stopping by to say so!

[slaymesoftly.livejournal.com]

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!

[yourlibrarian]

Yes, folks around LJ pimp often and eagerly but then those posts tend to drop away. Saving them was one of the many hopes we had for this place. Thanks for your comments!

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

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!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

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 :)

[avidrosette.livejournal.com]

What a great list of recs came out of this idea! Thanks so much for all your hard work!

[yourlibrarian]

So glad to know it worked for you :>

[crazydiamondsue.livejournal.com]

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!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

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 :)

[lmbossy.livejournal.com]

this was a great idea, and although I've still got a lot to look through ... roll on October!!

[yourlibrarian]

Yay! We'll see you there then :>

[luminosity]

Thank y'all so much for doing this. I have a *ton* of recs that I can spend all year catching up on!

[lillianmorgan.livejournal.com]

You've very welcome, thanks for your kind words. There's certainly enough to keep us all going for the next year, that's for sure :)

[amybnnyc.livejournal.com]

Thank you all so much for all of your hard work, and for dedicating so much of your time and yourselves to the fandom! This was absolutely fabulous--thank you!

[yourlibrarian]

It's wonderful to know people have found it useful. (And hee! Dorky Wes!)
