She's my favorite character, and A Softer Sunnydale always seems especially poignant in regards to Willow.

A Softer Sunnydale is witty, snarky, and perfectly suited for the Buffyverse. Take a peek at a few of my favorites and maybe wander over to the site and make your own!

These are five of my favorites from this year, five that struck me most (that I can remember. It's been a long year!). I chose them for imaginativeness or just the pretty, in some cases.

All are worksafe. Tumblr users, head on over to the original posts to reblog! :)

These are my fave favorite BtVS/AtS posts of 2010. They belong to different genres, but all will tell you something you needed to know about how awesome the show is, how awesome the fandom is, or, because these are five of the finest writers around, both :).

eleusis_walks.

Summary: Cordelia's amazing character arc across two shows.

Women, Connecting by

gabrielleabelle.

Summary: to modify a tag from the author, geeks like charts :)

Picspam: Buffy the Vampire Slayer Race!Swap Cast by

penny_lane_42.

Summary: gorgeous picspam, searing questions into the racial politics of U.S. television. (already been recced, but deserves to be again!)

There's a little bit of fic here, a little bit of meta, even some graphics, and no overriding theme aside from all of these being things that I enjoyed...though it's fair to say that much of what I enjoy has a Buffy/Spike perspective to it.

1.

crazydiamondsue's Meta Recs Post - Lots of great links here, going back to earlier times in Buffy fandom. If you want to explore some of the best Jossverse scholarship out there, this is a perfect list to start from.

2.

penny_lane_42's Buffy/Spike Shipper Manifesto - A gorgeous summing up of why many fans find Buffy and Spike's relationship to be so compelling, followed up with a terrific list of fanfiction recommendations.

3.

knifeedgefic's West of the Moon, East of the Sun - An EPIC Spike/Buffy story, set in an AU S5 (no Dawn, no Glory), with great character voices and a compelling, fairy-tale influenced plot.

4.

stultiloquentia's Take Five, Everybody - Smutty and sweet Buffy/Spike post-NFA reunion fic.

5.

_jems_'s a cap a day project - Okay, this project is not exclusively Buffyverse (though I'm linking to only the Buffy entries), but there is a lot of Buffy represented. Basically,

_jems_ posts one of her favorite screencaps every day. But stating it like that doesn't quite express the happiness I feel when I'm scrolling down my friend's list and suddenly see this or this.

1- The Man Who Stole the Heart of William The Bloody - Exclusive! by

darkhavens: Xander gets interviewed by the "No.1 Magazine for demon-human relationships" Very clever and much fun read. You guys don't wanna miss checking this one out. :)

( Check the other four... )

I long since admitted that part of the reason I love the Buffyverse so, is that it's sexy and passionate, along with the humor, drama, romance, action, adventure, horror, politics, and mystery. Often, it's many of these at the same time. Herewith, a little list of artwork that incorporates a mixture of those winning elements. Note: There's nothing on this list that can be considered remotely NC17, but there is a bit of skin showing here and there.

Probably the most shocking of all of my choices, it mixes the humor with the sexy (though not all will agree with that last part). PG13

It tells a story, using words and all, so it's fic, right? But the visual is so much a part of the story that it isn't really prose (or poetry). So, what do we call it? My first impulse was to call it F-Art, but that doesn't do justice to the skilled practitioners of the form. So, until I hear otherwise: Art!Fic. Everything on this list features Spike, 'cos that's just how it played out.

BIG NUMBAH ONE: The Attack of the Cookie Monsters by

rahirah, PG, for cookie violence. This charming domestic adventure story is told (brilliantly) in the style of a children's picture book. I betcha can't read it just once!

( More Art!Fic: )

For me, picspams are a guilty pleasure. They present really great, interactive ways to have fun and engage with our fandom that takes us out of the realm of writing. The first entry on my list is easily the most hilarious thing I viewed all year:

1. International Phallic!Spike Day by

mere_ubu
If you're at all familiar with Mere's "work" (see doll!fic - a hoot and a half), she's got a certain kink for torturing her Spike and BtVS dolls. And by torture, that usually involves hilariously sexually explicit and compromising positions complete with disgrunteled word balloons by her unhappy dollies. This particular post features Spike toting phallic objects of many kinds. Don't forget to read the comments. Many people decided to celebrate with their own photos!

( this way to angstville, discreet Spuffy and Halloween fun )
