Giles Word Search by il_mio_capitano. It's so rare to see fannish games and this was a treat!

Vid: Spuffy Abridged by double_duchess. "Inspired by the classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer Abridged vid by Rowena." Fun ride through their arc and a nice homage to a classic vid.

In the last couple of months, both of these Spuffy archives have expanded their rules to allow posting standalone artwork. Erotic art is thriving on both sites, but for this post, I'll link my more worksafe favorites that everyone can view without logging in. The ratings are what the artists put on the whole series in which the works are posted.

Morning (from "take me out, and take me home") by MillenialCryBaby (G)
I couldn't pick just one work from this incredibly sweet and pretty series, so I picked the one that includes thumbnails of multiple others.

Here are my five.

First, there's the Spuffy video I turn to whenever I'm trying to get the words flowing but having issues...



Then we have my personal favorite of all BtVS photomanips I've ever seen shared at this year's Summer of Giles: Family Portrait"> with Rupert Giles and Buffy and Joyce Summers.

An older fic, but one that was new to me and not only took me by surprise but made me interested in a pairing I'd never thought previously I could get behind (Spike/Willow) -
Heights.

My favorite Angel story of all time, starring Lorne and a special friend - Psychic Friend.

And I'll leave y'all with another favorite video to help get those Spuffy Muses flowing! There are some really beautiful shots of James/Spike here.

There's a search engine designed for discovering old-fashioned little websites, and I took it for a spin with some Buffy search terms. Here's some of what I found.

1. (maybe cross the country become a rock star) by Amy (Giles/Oz/Cordelia, PG-13) in Loaded, the Giles/Oz zone of the BtVS Writers' Guild.
This was amazing. The mood and atmosphere of this story has aged well, by which I mean it gave me something like pandemic lockdown vibes despite being pre-2007ish and not about any kind of lockdown. There is a bunch of clever lines and a quirky, semi-absurd concept at the core of the story, which somehow connects beautifully to Oz's unmoored state of mind.

Just a reminder to everyone that tomorrow kicks off our 2020 Flashforward Weekend to highlight works since our last session!

Buffy, Dollhouse, Avengers, Firefly, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – I managed to get all of them in :D

1) Buffy the Jedi Knight by sqbr. Movie poster for Buffy the Jedi Knight: The Sith Seduction drawn for thelittlebang. Read more... )

Meta, Reactors, Vids and Artwork work that deserve some love.

Fandom is a City by ruuger is a lovely essay on the rise and fall of fandoms - about their longevity and fleetingness and the traces they leave in their wake. The author puts it far more eloquently than I could so go read. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

More randomness this way... )

Am I the only one having trouble posting to or even loading LJ? This has been going on for days for me. I had this post set to go and got a 500 error only to find that the post was lost and didn't go through.

WIP Spike on a Bike by sanshodelaine. Much as I enjoy DVD commentaries I like seeing artworks posted in progress, and this is certainly wonderfully done.

Anatomy of a Willow Outfit by tarastheory. Doing an Outfit of the Day tied to specific BtVS episodes, this was a fun look at fashion which isn't always so fashionable these days ;)

Headers + Icons | Road Trip by sintonia. Wonderful colors and composition of Buffy, Spike, and the DeSoto looking more springlike than one would have ever imagined!

My Sweet Babies by peskysaku. Black and white Spike and Xander -- I think they're absolutely wrong about being alone in the ship.

This was my fifth rec but I discovered that the whole community seems to be gone. Anyone know what happened?

Sweet Fred, Remote Buffy by timetobegin. Adorable over the shoulder icon of Fred and I quite liked the thoughtful, behind-the-glasses Buffy.

1) All This Has Happened Before by hazellazer. "It was LA, of course. He saw plenty of platinum blonde women in skimpy red dresses, he just didn't usually see them in his office." Super idea for a Dollhouse and BSG crossover.

2) Happy Holidays by sueworld. Photo manip of a holiday clad (and unclad) Buffy and Spike looking quite festive!

3) Drusilla Caged by laurappel. I liked the split human/vamp face and the idea of Dru as one of her birds.

4) Spander Happy Holidays by catvampcrazines. Bet we'd all like a set of shippy Christmas tree baubles!

5) James Masters (Spike) by Jenn Jamison. There's something about the softness of this technique that I quite liked.

I tried to avoid rec'ing works that I rec every year but Restfield's Saturday Night vid, music by Bay City Rollers and set during Band Candy, is such a delight that I just can't not share. I adore how it's such a fun vid but then turns poignant in the end. Also, the Mayor turning and leaving on "Gotta Go" just amuses me every time.

the rest of the links are cheering me up because I have to replace brakes on a car I bought a year ago. ;-( )

Five favorite Angel/Spike things of the past year. Well, actually, six. Ok, probably seven.

Someone I Know by [livejournal.com profile] verucasalt123 Angel should stay away. Of course. He doesn't. Of course.
Just a short and very possible encounter set somewhere around "School Hard".

There were so many amazing fanworks in 2016 that I wish I'd taken better notes! Off the top of my head, I give you five fantastic pieces of artwork from five artists:

Artwork: Mr. Trick
By [livejournal.com profile] chasingdemons
The hardest part was picking only one image by the amazing Danna. But! I don't think I've ever seen another artwork of Mr. Trick! I couldn't be happier seeing this fashionable, retro glamor shot of Mr. Trick, a minor yet memorable BtVS demon. (Who alone, as a bonus, commented on the unnatural lack of POC in this supposedly SoCal town. Joss, was that your conscience speaking?) Anyway, this artwork is just gorgeous! (Also, whatever skincare regimen Mr. Trick's using to get that glowing-from-within look, I want it.) ;)

As usual, I can't collect five things in a particular category and time is running out, so here are five of my favourite fandom things from 2016.

First some wonderful fan art.

Venus and Mars by [livejournal.com profile] rbfvid (Restfield). This piece was inspired by one of my fics (of the same name) but that's not why I'm reccing it. I'm reccing it because it's beautiful and clever, and in all ways absolutely superb.

[livejournal.com profile] summer_of_giles is one of my favourite communities, so here are five things that caught my eye this year. I should give a disclaimer that I’m way behind with the entries, so I’m sure there is a pile of other stuff I could have recced that I just haven’t got to as yet.

It’s always illuminating to see the Buffy ‘verse through external eyes, and in [livejournal.com profile] punch_kicker15’s The English Patient: Seven Times Giles Visited the Hospital(and One Time He Didn’t) we see Giles across the seven seasons through the eyes of a resident physician at Sunnydale Hospital. This is good stuff.

More Giles goodness this way... )

One of my images was originally created toward the end of 2015 but has been reworked in 2016. Since I wasn't sure if that should count, I made it my extra.

  1. Restfield's Not Thinking About Buffy - OK, I'm not good with images so I don't know what to say but it's in how he's looking away from her, how she's in the smoke. I adore it.

the rest of the links are getting me a copy of Drawing for Dummies so maybe I could sketch something cool for next year's rec list )

Also known as the only five entries (so far!) in the Narwhal!verse...

What's this, you say?  You've heard of the Penguin!verse, but not the Narwhal!verse?  It all started from THIS prompt.

Spike

Spike

It was so hard to choose just 5. I'm about as artistic as a pot noodle so I have an extra appreciation for all those who are able to produce works of fan art.

In no particular order (all work safe)

I have two by [livejournal.com profile] comlodge they're a variation on the same picture but I couldn't decide which one I liked best so I've put the two up.
(Spike/Dru) More Christmas Cheer

Second Spike/Dru

I loved this peice by [livejournal.com profile] sheppsboy Willow as Elphaba from Wicked

[livejournal.com profile] okdeanna Lovely bit of Spike/Angel over at [livejournal.com profile] bad_swa (adult based community)

This one really made me smile, it was such a unique idea. There are three parts altogether so do check them all out!

I Belong to You by restfield. After so many years of fanworks it's not often one comes across something truly different but a video of Angel/Buffy/Mr. Gordo? That qualifies :D

I love all these images of our beloved characters. They have a clarity and directness that appeals to me. [livejournal.com profile] chasingdemons is always careful to list sources too.

Click on the link to see the image.

A portrait of Angelus. Simple, but extremely effective.

A Spike image - but led by the thought that William's heart is still beating.

Spike in his final moments in Chosen.


Love is hard

[livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003 contributes awe-inspiring art to the community, sets a standard of excellence for the rest of us, and always has an encouraging comment for other would-be manippers.

Here are 5 works by [livejournal.com profile] sueworld2003 that I think are a good representation of her art. I have written my thoughts about the each piece (and hopefully I am not too far off from the artist’s intent). You can see much more of her beautiful work at her flickr site here.


Always Young (Worksafe)

I am affected as soon as I open this piece. I can sense the stillness of the woods and the chill in the air. I could look at this one for hours and continue to marvel at the choices in composition, color, and blending. How did she know to place each branch so perfectly or to choose just the right shade? The way she uses the space takes my breath away. It's easy to get lost in this one.
