Title: Danger Ahead (1)
Creator: Double Dutchess
This is the first of my three manips based on screengrabs from “You’re the one that I want“. First the plain manip, then a wallpaper (1280×1024) based on it. Open images in a new window or tab to view full-size.
Title: Spuffy is the word
Creator: Double Dutchess
Spuffy is the word
It’s got groove it’s got meaning
Spuffy is the time, is the place, is the motion
Now, Spuffy is the way we are feeling
I promise this is my last post, and I declare I’m not trying to invade the Seasonal… even if it’s such a nice place to be.This time I’ve got my previous GIF, plus another, kindly resized by teragramm, and two icon-like items.
Hope I did not take up too much allowed space – I kinda like the way this came out so I did want to post it. Great Works Everyone – thanks to all.
Thought I would try out at least one graphic with the carnival theme – did two but the first one sucked – the super neat devil is a detail that I reworked from the abandoned carnival images from Bing Images background is from my Brazil TV images.
Title: dark carnival icons and revised banner

Some tidbits to tide you over until my posting day on Monday :-)
First, a few icons based on my second and third banners for the banner contest:

And under the cut a revised version of my second banner for the banner contest. Personally, I think it’s better than the version I submitted.
Title: Bring It On Home
Author: fra_apples
Length: ~8.000
Setting: Comics canon, post-After The Fall
Rating: R for violence and language, eventually NC17
Summary: A few months after the whole LA-in-hell thing is done, Spike and his friend the telepathic fish have some drinks. The fish convinces the vampire to take a trip to Scotland. This story is about what happens when said vampire finally decides to face up to a certain blonde over there.
Author’s Notes: This is my first Spuffy story, so I’m a bit nervous. Also, I think it’s fair to say that I’m not an expert writer, which will probably result in a story that is too long, too wordy, and not that much polished. Still, Seasonal Spuffy has been inspiring me for a long while with this idea, so I wanted to finally give it an honest try and put something out there during one of the free-for-all days.
My outline puts it at ten chapters, and I’ve written a little over half of it already; I will eventually publish it on EF (where I’m MaggieLaFey) and AO3, as soon as I finish it. For now, if you want to give the first two chapters a try, I hope they make you smile at least half as much as they do me. :)
PS: I LOVE critiques and feedback. Especially considering that this isn’t my first language, feel free to point out anything that sounds wrong, I’ll be thankful!

Title: Calliope Unsheathed
Author: eurydice72
Era/season/setting: Set between S4 and S5, canon divergent AU
Rating: Eventually NC17, but only R for language and violence for what gets posted here
Summary: When a carnival comes to town, Spike gets wind of a plot that doesn’t sound good for Sunnydale…or the Slayer.
Warnings: None
Author’s Note: Thank goodness for free-for-all days! I meant to get this up last night, but time is not my friend right now.
Many thanks to sandy_s for the thoughtful beta!
In lieu of starting with an actual plot, I used Oblique Strategies to provide a prompt every time I didn’t know what happened next … I’d say the result is more plot-like than one might expect. Prompts listed at the end, though some of their initially merely shakey relevance has been whittled away to nothing during editing.
I do plan to continue this 2 or 3 chapters, I think.

Author’s Note: This is my first Seasonal Spuffy in YEARS so to say I’m nervous is an understatement. I went for something comfortable for me which means adventure time for Spike and Buffy. I had originally hoped to have five chapters to post today, but it looks like it’s only going to be three at most. Those will come later today. My outline for this puts it at 12 chapters, though I reserve the right to have that change if the story decides to take its own path. :)

.| Title: 26 Spuffy Icons
.| Creator: sintonia

Hi everybody! I’m sorry if I go a little slow today, I have some fever, come and go, but I’m here if you need something :) As always I made some icons and I played around with the colors and the backgrounds for some of them for this round. Not all, just a few but you can imagine anything, manipulating a background allow yourself to build a different world for a few minutes and you can imagine other possible universes. Omg that was great! Take my hand, it’s just fever.
Title: Carnival Dream (Anywhere But Here)
Author: the_wiggins
Era/season/setting: Season 2, canon divergent AU
Rating: M
Warnings: swearing, some violence, reference to the fact that Spike and Dru are still technically together, and I guess there is one minor reference to cannibalism too
Author’s Note: This can be read on it’s own, but is a continuation of Anywhere But Here, a story I originally wrote for the Seasonal Spuffy Spring Equinox event. It was meant to be a one-shot but is now going to be a longer fic. The revised version of that first chapter can be found on AO3 and EF.
Third entry for my day – enjoyed working with the idea of shattered forms – I was pleased with the background results and always love these images of Spike/JM and Buffy/SMG. It’s kinda amazing how much I continue to love working with Buffy and Spike and reading and seeing all the works from the Spuffy fandom. Thanks for all the works.
Having a bit of fun with times gone by – a little Spuffy Retro – hope I can get a “carnival theme” for one of the free days. Hope you like.
Great to be participating in the 26th Round of Seasonal Spuffy – Thanks to all the awesome folks that keep this Spuffy event active for all the Spuffy Fans to enjoy. Thanks also to all the writers and artist for sharing their works and talent with us and for all these years of Spuffy works.
First of three banners – working not with the carnival theme but with the theme of shattered.
So, it’s my day at Seasonal Spuffy and I have a short offering that isn’t really a chapter in my current wip, but it could easily slide into that world pretty much anywhere during the current year. Spike and Buffy visit an unusual carnival so that he can visit with someone he used to know.

SHE CRIED MORE, MORE, MORE…
“Tell me again why we’re going to this carnival tonight? When I’ve got annoying nerds to deal with and a class tomorrow?”
