I apologize for another Spuffy post... (but it's pretty much the only fanfiction I tend to read

We can only rec what we read/see so the topic is never a problem :) Thanks for a great post idea!

[baphrosia]

Well, I know there's plenty of other good stories out there, but I'm still working my way through Spuffy!

Thanks so much for including me on here. That's so flattering! =D

There is one small thing, however; I'm not so much of a "she."

[baphrosia]

EEK! I apologize for my sexist assumption. And welcome to the minority of awesome male Spuffy authors!

[foxstarreh]

No worries. I know it's probably unclear what the hell I am.

I'm really agendered, and I will respond to anything, but I do prefer avoiding gendered pronouns when being introduced. In conversation, I don't mind, honestly, and I don't mind people stumbling upon the label by themselves, either, actually. But if it's the first time someone's hearing about me, it makes me feel weird that they're going to be sitting there, going into reading what I've written while thinking I am/identify definitively as a woman/man.

Don't feel bad for not knowing. You probably won't see this anywhere, since it wasn't all that relevant up until now.

Okay, there, I fixed it to be more neutral. Since 99% of Spuffy authors are female, it was an automatic assumption.

Hopefully we can encourage you to write more Spike and/or Buffy stories for the Buffyverse!

Excellent choices - I'm familiar with all but one of them, but it's good to know where to find people. I get so wrapped up in staying current on LJ/DW and the BSV, that I tend to forget there are things I might like being posted other places.

[baphrosia]

This is why rec lists rule! So you can find the things you might miss otherwise. I tend to stick with the archives I found first because my brain can only handle so much information at once (stupid brain).

[slaymesoftly]

ROFL - I know the feeling... Alas, most of the archives I haunted when I first started reading are long gone (or no longer being updated). I never could figure out how to get around ff.net, so I've just closed my eyes and pretended it doesn't exist. :)
