Bloody Awful Poetry Day 1: Welcome and Clem’s Clerihews
Welcome to Bloody Awful Poetry Day!
Poetry is about reflection, about different ways of seeing and expressing. So, as my contribution to the season, I bring you some Buffyverse characters writing their views of Spuffy. Quite badly, on the whole. (I daren’t attempt haiku, of which there are many distinguished examples, especially some gorgeous Spaiku. But some rarer forms of poetry allow even the worst poets – that would be me – to experiment and have some fun…)
Icons
It’s my posting day! I’ve got some graphics to share, beginning with 20 icons. I had hoped to make more, but icons are really not my forte and require more patience than I have!
I’ll be back later in the day with more artwork :) Continue Reading
The Shakespeare Code
Title: The Shakespeare Code
Pairing: Spuffy, obviously!
Rating: PG-13
Disclaimer: They belong to the all mighty Joss, not me. *is sad*
Author’s note: It’s my posting day! Looks like I’m getting this in just under the wire. This is my first ever Spuffy fic, so I’m prepared for the “It’s rubbish!” reviews. I’m not even sure how I feel about it. It might indeed be rubbish. :-) Thanks to enigmatic_blue for running this! This was fun. Enjoy! Oh, and bonus points if you can tell where the title comes from! :)
Image (of sorts) for Rest
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m not the greatest graphics person, and I have an old version of photoshop. Still, I tried.

Fic – Rest
My posting day. Hurray!
Okay, there’s a poem. ;)
Thanks to enigmatic_blue for the opportunity (see you at Writercon) and my beautiful beta cindergal.
A special thanks to the poetry of Christina Rossetti.
NOT WORK SAFE! Another (sort of) poem: “Acrostic”
Here’s my second and final entry for this round — it’s very very silly and not work safe.
Acrostic: a poem, word puzzle, or other composition in which certain letters in each line form a word or words.

A (sort of) poem: “Every Night I Save You”
Thank you to enigmatic_blue for hosting the party!
Author’s notes:
Eep! I’m an hour late — sorry!
This is my first attempt at writing a rhyming poem, specifically a “sestina,” and it kicked my ass. A lot. For those who want to know:
The sestina is a pentameter poem consisting of six stanzas of six lines plus a three-line coda (know as the envoy or envoi). The sestina “rhymes” on six end-words, which must be repeated in each stanza in a controlled order, whereby the last end-word in each stanza becomes the first end-word of the next stanza: abcdef, faebdc, cfdabe, ecbfad, deacfb, bdfeca. The envoi must employ two of the end-words in each of its three lines.

Fic ~ A Touch of Paradise
It’s the 15th here in Australia, so it’s my posting day. I signed up to do art, but the muse decided to play nice, so I have a new fic first and then an art post to follow.
Title: A Touch of Paradise
Author: Always_jbj
Rating: R 18+ (NC-17) [Just to be on the safe side.]
Season: Between Seasons 5 & 6
Summary: Love, happiness and life in general can be hard, and sometimes you make the wrong choices along the way, but sometimes you get the chance to do things right afterall.
Thank you, as always, to the wonderful Slaymesoftly for betaing. And to my lovely cheer squad, Tales, Selene and Sue for all your support.
And a big thank you, of course, to the lovely enigmatic_blue for running this fabulous community.
*Please Note* Due to server issues I probably won’t be online again until after the 19th.

Fic: What Richie Said
Title: What Richie Said

Rating: R, but just for some language and to be safe.
Timeline: Season six, post Older and Far Away.
Wordcount: 2571

Fanvid – If Tomorrow Never Comes
This is pretty early (not even one o’clock in the morning where I am), but I’m not going to have a lot of time tomorrow (or later today, however you want to think about it) so I figured I’d start posting some of my stuff now.
Title: If Tomorrow Never Comes
Edited by: Aisalynn
Characters, Pairing: Spike/Buffy
Song Used: “Last Night On Earth” by Delta Goodrem
A/N: Sorry about the poor quality in some places. The internet keeps cutting out here on campus and the higher quality file took too long to upload. I had to go with a smaller file. I’d recomend watching this in HQ.
Spuffy Fic – “Helping The Helpless”

A/N – 1st line taken from the opening of Season 3 “Helpless”
A Limerick!
Today is my posting day, and I must thank enigmaticblues for all her hard work in organising this.
I have 2 items to post this time, later I will be posting a one-shot fic, but at this time I am bringing you a poem.
This season of seasonal_spuffy has a poetry theme. So, my first offering for today is a limerick that I wrote this morning… It is un-beta’d, and my first ever attempt, but I’m going to post it anyway!!
There’s a really great group called Seasonal Spuffy
That’s all about the Slayer called Buffy.
When she ends up with Spike,
Who’s the Vampire we like,
We really do feel warm and fluffy.

Time Is Running Out
Thanks as always to enigmaticblues for once again organizing this – it’s so lovely to find so many wonderful takes on Spuffy still being created after all these years.
Title: Time is Running Out
Author: Anne
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Set post S4 Something Blue (BtVS) and post S5 Soul Purpose (AtS).
Fic: Meilleur Encore (1/1)
Against all odds, fic!
My offering this time was inspired by a comment moscow_watcher made on my story for the previous seasonal_spuffy round, La Meilleure Revanche. It starts out the same as that one, and then goes wildly AU. So if you start reading and think, “hey, I’ve read this before,” there’s a good reason for that. (I’ve included a second cut-tag to right before it starts to be different, and marked the spot thus: ***.)
It’s kind of like a Choose Your Own Adventure. Either story works on its own. If you prefer your angst unadulterated, you might want to stick to the original. If you don’t mind stepping out on the angst a bit, read on.
Thank you to enigmaticblues, and to rabid1st for her quick beta.
Fic: To Woo A Slayer
So, it’s my posting day and I come bearing a fic. It is fluffy and sappy and set in a sort of AU Season 6 where Tara and Willow no longer live in Buffy’s house and though Buffy and Spike have shared a few kisses, the dysfunctional sexual relationship hasn’t started. I may add a sequel which may or may not be ready for the free-for-all day. We’ll see, no promises though cuz RL has been amazingly busy these last few weeks.

Wallpaper and icons
My posting day!
Inspired by the sonnets of Francesco Petrarca to his beloved Laura, specifically in sonnet 292 from The Canzoniere (If you’ve never read any, you should, they are wonderful, so sad but so beautiful too. And they feel like Spuffy!)
