Top 5 of the Year

My top 5 favorites in various categories.

We ain’t going anywhere but got suits and cases

1. Favorite Vid
Jesus Walks by mimesere – All – I haven’t seen many Gunn vids around but I have to admit, after seeing this one I have a hard time imagining someone’s done it better. Just gripping. I think it brings out the separateness and struggle of this character’s arc really well.


2. Favorite Graphic
Mine - by vamptastica - Teen – Made for “Shards” bysexymermaid. I love S/X, and this is a wonderfully done manip and a very sexy (though not explicit) image.

3. Favorite Drabble
Weighs Nothing: Five Lies That Connor’s Father Told Him - by kita0610 - All – Wonderful idea for a set of drabbles and insightful in each one.

4. Favorite Fic
My Life Closed Twice by anaross - NC-17 – I came to this story late, though I feel kind of lucky about that because it’s been posted all year long and just ended in November. I devoured this all in one day. I loved the poetry discussions and the way they were used to tell a story. I always enjoyed reading historical fiction because I’d learn something while enjoying a story and that certainly contributed to the appeal of this one. Plus I think it was an appropriately complicated reunion for Spike and Buffy. A good story, well told.

5. Favorite Site
Five Things Fanfic Archive - Started in January of 2006, this archive hosts stories that use the Five Things prompt. I single it out because I think the 5 things prompt often works very well in producing interesting character pieces and “what if”s and it’s a nice idea to gather these together. It would be good to see this grow.
