Four Drabble-Based Projects plus the Shortest Fic I've Loved This Year

[thenewbuzwuzz]

1. Mocktober Madness first-line-last-line challenge drabbles on @giles-shorts by @littleotter73 and @il_mio_capitano
I was happy to see this comm come to life - and with such a neat game.
One of my favorites: Apologies by @littleotter73 (Giles and his Citroën, FRC - Fan Rated for Children)

2. The Big Moments by jjscm (45 different BtVS and AtS characters and counting, G)
A great reminder of how many interesting people inhabit the Buffyverse. <3 I'm increasingly in awe as jjscm gets into more and more obscure characters. And you can request your fave in the comments! :)
One of my favorites: Wood (Robin Wood, Nikki Wood, G)

3. The Power of Voodoo by lucidscreamer (Xander, G, WIP!)
This "Labyrinth" crossover told in drabbles is incredibly dreamy and eerie and magical.

4. Barbverse Drabbles by @rahirah (Spike/Buffy, Giles, Dawn, Clem, Xander, M and lower ratings)
@rahirah crossposted them to AO3 this spring, and I reread them and found them variously funny, cute, and/or insightful. I tried to pick one favorite for this list, but they're all good, SO I had random.org pick for me. Let me tell you why I like... *spins wheel*
Chains (Spike, PG).
"Chains" is a fabulous, nuanced character study obviously written by someone who has been thinking about Spike longer than I have known Spike exists. Also, I enjoy the alliteration and the tongue-in-cheek ending line.

5. And, finally, - this is not technically a drabble or a fic, but it is shorter than a drabble and it is fictional, and it made me laugh SO LOUD.

"snorfles" over that last one. Thanks for posting.

Glad you enjoyed :)

Your comment about #2 makes me think that this is one reason why crossovers are also intriguing me, which is that it opens up a lot of exploration for the characters and verse.

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Huh! Interesting thought. :)

Seconding the rec for Mocktober Madness - it's been great fun, and was on my list to rec.

Just read the Power of Voodoo - thank you for pointing us at that one, it's all kind of evocative. I hope to see more.

Oh good grief - just read the fake fic summary - that is all kinds of awesome. I want to read that story now :)

<3 Thank you for all the seconding, it's so nice to hear what you thought.

I do think we might get more Power of Voodoo soonish, according to what the author said in the comments. *happy dance*
