Editable World Map of Spuffy Fic Recs by thenewbuzzwuzz who "mapped the settings of some Spuffy fic I have recced in the past. For example, "One Gazelle in All the World" by baphrosia takes place in the Serengeti, so I stuck a pin in Serengeti National Park and put the fic title and author in the description. So. Theoretically, one could use the map to find fic recs based on setting." It's open to edits so you can both browse it and make the map grow!

Que Sera, Sera aka. Doris' Day by kerk_hiraeth. Short ficlet that reminds us how the Three Caballeros might well have gone in quite a different direction with many more paths branching out.

gaycember — day 1 — Willow Rosenberg by ant-agony. This struck me as such a contented Willow.

In the Flower Bed by iseetheyelloweyed, a Spuffy artwork set in a rather macabre garden.

And as we begin November:

10 Reasons Pangs is Great by spuffybot. Not only did I find the point about Willow and Angel's relationship interesting to consider, but it was also good to see this representation of what I suspect a lot of fans do, which is to rewatch certain holiday Buffy episodes as part of their traditions.

To start off, I thought this discussion about "nonhuman people" went to an interesting place:

...sorted by ascending number of Spike legs. I wasn't planning to make this post, but [personal profile] yourlibrarian got me thinking about sorting criteria, and then I had to.

I tried to stay away from here, I did (because I'm running really short on spare time and attention). But I HAD to rec this first work, and then I threw some more poetry links around while I was at it.

This is it, this is the best and most beautiful new poetry project I've seen in the fandom this year. Do not miss if Spuffy or free verse appeals to you at all.

Or, Five of the Weirdest Stories I've Had the Pleasure of Reading This Year, and That's Saying Something, Because I Tend to Read as Many Weird Stories as I Can. Each of them has other things going for it, too -- they're not just surreal. Sorted from shortest to longest.

Comment: A Fuffy story based on a dream the author had. It's a coffee-shop AU, but HOW. :)) As a side note, I appreciate how many of the original canon Slayers appear here.

The Lion Laying Down With The Lambness Of Xander And Larry by [livejournal.com profile] reremouse: Xander/Larry. What I'd pay to see the conclusion to this one? The Xander voice is perfection. The whole atmosphere is funny and witty and crazy. Xander and Larry in their most boy high school romance glory.

Yay! I thougth this was starting tommorow but it's today! Oooh, and loving the batty background.

Of course I'm going to start with slash. Wow, and every single one of these has Giles in it. Fixated much?

1. Indri's In the Morning of the Magicians is now my head canon for Ripper/Ethan, how they met, and why they invoked Eyghon. Delightful.

the rest of the recs have started a donnybrook over what kind of porny music they should be playing )

1) Mark Watches Buffy the Vampire Slayer by Mark: This is the new hottest thing with fandom right now. He's a Buffy virgin, totally unspoiled, which is why his reviews are so popular. For example, he didn't know Angel was a vampire. His enthusiasm and insight are also reasons for his popularity. It's so fun watching him guess and get shocked and squeal at everything. He also gets a lot of comments from fans who watched and didn't watch the show.

So, [livejournal.com profile] crazydiamondsue revisited fandom in 2010 after three years of absence. She always manages to fill fandom with joy! And Xander love

1) Episode Notes by [livejournal.com profile] 2maggie2, Strudel and [livejournal.com profile] local_max: These episode notes are a joy to read. Those three dig deep into the series and speak of foreshadowing. My favorite part is the focus on the Scooby dynamic -Buffy, Xander, and Willow- and how complex and realistic this friendship is.

It's a sad fact that our heroes weren't given the most healthy and life-affirming sexual relationships. Happiness was often short lived with their partners, if not outright self-destructive. This year there were a number of metas and discussions on the Scoobies, but more specifically Buffy's, bad lot when it came to matters of carnal love. I've listed them in the order I think it makes most sense to read them, if one were to take this as an immense treatise on differing viewpoints about sex in the Buffyverse.  

1. More Scoobies and Their Sextoys (Meta) by [livejournal.com profile] stormwreath 
Although his polling experiment started as a humorous exploration of what the Scoobies might be up to with themselves between the sheets, this meta also speaks to the characters basic personality traits and how their temperaments might influence their sex lives. There's also some talk of the Kinsey scale that grounds this speculative and humorous meta in the real world. For those interested in fluid sexuality and the Kinsey scale, I'd also direct you to [livejournal.com profile] gabrielleabelle 's interesting meta on Willow's Gay Now!

I didn't come all this way to get knocked up by some demon dust )

I'm pretty sure this list has something for everyone from het quasi-sex to slashy, incestuous orgy. Yet, though the choices are diverse, it just proves that, even as the activity in the fandom wanes, hotness still comes in many forms in the BtVS/AtS 'verse.

So sadly, it is getting harder and harder to find centralized places for this pairing. Even harder to find active ones. What can I say, I love C/A and from the look of the tags (only 9?!), they could use one last PIMP! LOL

Starting off with the LJ communities...

These particular "top 5" are the hardest. Currently there are dozens of active Spuffy archives with regular updates, boards and forums. I got terrible headache trying to narrow down the list and almost gave up. Still I decided to make a try. I post a pretty random "top 5" and beg the owners of other wonderful, wonderful Spuffy archives to forgive me for not including them in the list.
So, in no particular order...

I figured that this might be something that people weren't familiar with and when I saw the RPG tag in the tag list, it inspired me. (I use the tag list...a lot.) Not sure how many people are familiar with RPGs (Role playing games) but the 'verse has some of the most active and longest running games, especially on Yahoo. These are PBeM (Play By E-Mail) more so than a message board, chat, or communities settings.

So I picked out five great ones that I play in that have strong characterization, great voices, fabulous plots, and just really fun people. They are great to join if you are into RPing or if you just want to lurk to see great stories unfold.

I am starting off with the big momma of them all...

Really, you won't see many het recs from me because, for whatever reason, they, with the exception of a very few 'ships, aren't able to hold my interest for very long. However, the following fics are truly, in my estimation, outstanding enough to have stayed with me for (in most cases) years. By the way, did I mention that most of these are loooooooooong as all get-out?
