Here are two manips for our First Day of this round of Seasonal Spuffy.  Thank You to all the moderators for all your efforts to keep Season Spuffy going on all these years.  It’s such a wonderful Spuffy Event.  Thanks to all the participants for creating works for all the Spuffy fans to enjoy –

I Wanted to work with the theme of Fall as a symbol of the life cycle and transition.  With this in mind, I really wanted to have a new symbol for Buffy and Spike – a new ring to represent their current  relationship and a new era for love in their lives.  Instead of the Claddagh ring I imagine Spike giving Buffy a Fede Ring – perhaps one that was used by his mother.  This ring is from the period of 1850-1859 manufactured in England.  A Fede Ring is symbolic of Trust and Fidelity –  these traits fit both Spike and Buffy now and the events of their history as well as how they treat people they love.  They’ve certainly had to go through many trials to finally get to where they are now.

In honor of the Buffy 20 Years Anniversary – I really wanted to work with the publicity photos.  The cast reunion photos are totally wonderful – the EW did an awesome project especially loved the Special Edition Covers.  I treated myself to a set – too bad EW did not do an adequate job on the mailing.  Wish I could get James Marsters to autograph his cover for me.

A Great Big Thank You to all the wonderful Mods, now and former, one for another round of Seasonal Spuffy and the same to all the participants.  You all have given the Spuffy Fans years of wonderful stories, graphics, poems and vids to enjoy and created one of the best Spuffy Fan Events of all.

The last one and one that fills my little Spuffy Heart with a Big Happy – I Love Spuffy and Buffy and Spike.  My sister used these quote on her Memory Candle for her husband which is a variation on the Michael Jackson Love Lives Forever.  You can see my Dia costume over at my LJ page –  Hope you enjoy my Ofrendas.

My Day and it’s a holiday/ritual tradition that I love for Buffy and Spike – it’s about keeping my love for these characters and the series always in my heart.  My Seasonal Spuffy Dia de Los Muertos Ofrenda.

First one is for one the central theme of this observance – travel through the portal from The Underworld to the Human World which for Buffy and Spike is also fundamental – both spiritual and emotional and physical.

Manip – Blackout Poems

The script I worked from is Beneath You – one of my all time favorite episodes of the entire series and one of the finest performances of James Marsters and Sarah Michell Gellar.  Hope you like the poems I came up with – I plan on doing others.   I did not have the time to do the third one – I wanted to do the final “can we rest now” section – no time.

Once again I was reminded of how different the shooting scripts and the final episodes were – the superb church scene, which as I understand was worked on by Joss Whedon, is so different.  With no intent to belittle the script created by Douglas Petrie – the final church scene takes on the quality of a soul in torment and chaos reaching out to the mercy of devine intervention which for Spike is Buffy which eventually becomes their cleansing and joining in Chosen.

Congratulations to all the participants for another outstanding Seasonal Spuffy.  Again, Thank You to all the administrators for all the work you do for the Spuffy fans.

Thanks to thenewbuzwuzz for starting me on my “script excerpts”  – not as exciting as the “blackout poems” but it’s a start for moving forward.  The text is taken for Fool For Love and while they are spoken to Cecily – the theme is fundamental to the Spuffy relationship.
