I just posted this list to buffyversetop5, which encourages you to share your top 5 lists for fanwork created in 2008. Check it out! Meanwhile, here are my five favorite fics from 2008's edition of summer_of_giles. A lot more great stuff was posted this summer-- why not check out the master lists and re-read a few stories?

2006! It brought us a lot of new Giles fiction. Today I post two of my personal top 5 lists written for buffyversetop5. Why not write your own? It's fun! And I can't possibly cover all the good stuff.
