Thanks! Problem may be in hand, but I'm probably gonna go with paranoid ass coverage anyway.

- Fanfics by Buffistas
- Recommended Fanfics
Don't some people t coughShriftcough hate the usage "fanfics"? We could probably change these to "Fanfiction [no 's'] by Buffistas" and "Recommended Fanfiction" in the interest of preventing aneurysms.
Someone mentioned the contre les vampires site -- is it dead? moved? pining fjordwise?
That was me. AFAIK it's mort.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fanfic has been expanded.
Mort? Really? But .. but ...
Okay, when I'm out of the denial phase of mourning I'll delete the link.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just looked at a few of the links...
Both the Buffy and Angel music pages are now on www.buffymusic.net, so those links can be updated and combined into one.
The link title says "Psyche's Transcripts," but the guy's name isn't Psyche, so maybe it should just be "Psyche Transcript Site."
I imagine we can take down the AICN article from 2001 and the Zap2It article from 2001? They seem to be just about the (then) upcoming season. But I don't have strong feelings about this.
Is there any way to cull the list of recommended fanfic(tion)?

My reflex is that the recommended fanfiction should point to rec pages or to archives. I mean, ask Dana and Shrift -- recs are a job in and of themselves.
For now, I'm leaving the articles. I've combined the music, and I'm wondering if anyone has the scoop on the transcript site -- it's down now. Is it expected to stay that way?

I think Joerg said he was having technical difficulties but that it should be back up.

Y'know, I could maintain a (edit: separate) recs page if we wanted to have one.
So long as it's just grunt work and no actual thinking is involved.

I do like that idea. A whole-Buffista recs site, that we could update ourselves by sending emails to PMM, hmm? I know that I've got a few pages of recs written out and stored on my hard drive-- I'm not sure what I wanted to do with them, but they're there.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I think we'd want to have a "recc'd by Rebecca Lizard", "recced by PMM" , recced by Susan W. sort of thing, because, while we all usually like well-written fanfic, we like divergent fanfic. Or, I guess it could be recced by couple. (says the person who reads only buffista produced fanfic, or Buffy/Spike)
