Sign Ups for this years celebration of the wonderful Angel episode I Will Remember You are open on iwry_marathon

Remember your stories must center around Buffy and Angel, or Buffy and Angelus. Any length (from 100 word drabbles and up), any rating or any genre is acceptable, but stories must be complete and standalone. And you can post/submit more than one story. Feel free to ask any questions here or feel free to pm me at any time.

Please won't you join in for thirty days of... "I'll never forget."?

The collection dates for stories are as follows:

30th of September
31st of October

Like last year the fics will be hosted on the I Will Remember You Collection on AO3. So instead of sending me your completed fics to post you, the author, will post your own fic to the collection. All fics will remain unrevealed until I post the links to the fics at iwry_marathon

It's Time to Make Those 2017 Lists!

2017-12-12T18:31:46Z

Before you happily kick 2017 to the curb, remember the things that were actually good about it, such as Buffyverse fanworks!

Gifting your fellow fans some lovely items to start the coming year with is a great way to spread a little cheer to all those wonderful writers, artists, vidders, mods, and more who have given you something to smile (or maybe cry) about during 2017.

buffyversetop5 will reopen for its 2017 session on January 1, 2018 at midnight UTC (check that in your time zone) and will remain open through 6 PM GMT on January 16th.

So start checking your download folders, your tags, your bookmarks and memories to see what you enjoyed this year and what you want to make sure the Buffyverse community doesn't miss from 2017. If you want to help spread the news, several artists have made us starter treats to entice friends to the party. If you have any questions about the session, ask them here!

Buffyverse Top 5's Classic Recs is Coming!

2017-10-17T19:30:42Z

Five days for you to bring your all-time favorite recs of fics, vids, graphics, anything and everything fandom has produced in all the Whedon fandoms! All time periods before 2017 are eligible for posting and, as always, crossover content is A-OK, so get those lists ready!

We also want to alert anyone following us here that, following the movement of many people to Dreamwidth, either primarily or exclusively, we are opening the Dreamwidth outlet to posts during this session. So whether you want to post here or there, we hope to see names old and new here soon. Let us known if you have questions!

Help Needed

2016-12-29T01:12:15Z

Hey guys, do you all remember Puppy Love? Well, I want to write a sequel, but I realize I wrote the first one on a series of prompts, off a prompt chart specifically, so I need help again.

I need another prompt chart, just like my first one, but this time I want twenty five prompts and five blank spots for me to put in my own prompts. Remember, I shuffle prompts around to suit the story best, but I do use the prompts, just not in ways that you imagine or expect usually. So, anyone want to make me a thirty count prompt chart? Twenty five you write, five you leave to me. Please comment or e-mail that you want to volunteer, you'll get first dibs on chapters as they're written instead of as they're posted, and you'll get continued contact with the author about how the story is going.

As for when this sequel will be situated, I don't know, the prompts will tell me, and the prompts may spread over centuries, so who knows, right?

So please, please please, help help help. hawk_soaring You helped me last time, do you want to help again?
