Five Final Fannish Things I Really Enjoyed in 2013
My last list, which I'm doing now because I may be away this weekend.
Five fannish things I really enjoyed in 2013, in no particular order.
First, some wonderful meta from lostboy_lj, The Monomythology of Buffy. Buffy on Campbell's 'classic' hero's journey, all explained in pretty pictures. Brilliant!
I have to do a shout-out to the sb_fag_ends community for shorty Spuffy fics. It's been quiet the last couple of months, but it's still, IMO, one of the best fanfic communities left on LJ.
Now back to the fic, and a couple more stories by hello_spikey.
Popsicle Night, Spike/Angel, R/NC-17 (ish), with some dodgy consent issues. This fic was written for rekindlespangel last year. Newly souled Spike doesn't return to Sunnydale. Instead, Angel finds him working in an LA strip club. H/C, written with hello_spikey's usual great characterisation and dialogue.
Manila Envelope by hello_spikey, Spike/Buffy, with a dash of Spike/Angel, PG/R(ish). Angel receives an anonymous tip-off in the mail that sends him racing back to Sunnydale. French farce-style wackiness ensues.
Finally, one more fic from beer_good_foamy, Spike: Mall Santa, Spike/Buffy, PG. A delightful Christmas fic, in which Spike tries (not very hard) to be helpful when the local mall Santa goes AWOL.
