My second submission – again with the use of word Fall. A graphic that is just something pretty to go with two physically beautiful characters. Hope you like by graphics.

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.
School Hard – 20 years – Artwork
Here is my second banner – this scene and quotes, for me, are the essence of Buffy and Spike and their relationship in this early time period. And yet, so much of William/Spike will effect his future in Sunnydale and with his one time enemy.
School Hard – 20 Years – Art Work
Thanks for doing this special tribute to School Hard and the 20 Years of the Buffyverse –
I did two banners and had a great time watching this introduction of Spike to the series – it’s an awesome way to meet Spike and Drusilla and Buffy’s first encounter with the family of Angel/Angelus.

Thank You all – to the mods for all your efforats and to all the participants for all the stories, graphics, original art and vids you created for the Seasonal Spuffy fans to enjoy.
After all this time and added life experiences – I’m more a Spike & Buffy and Spuffy fan than ever.
Congratulations to all for another great Seasonal Spuffy –

My third submission – I tried another Spuffy Haiku – I fell in love with this poety form for Spuffy.

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.

First of all Thank You to all the wonderful people who continue to keep Seasonal Spuffy online for all the Spuffy fans to enjoy and to pay tribute to the awesome characters – Buffy and Spike and to the Spuffy relationship. Also, Thanks to all the participants who created new stories and visual art for this round and who continue to explore and expand the Buffyverse and the Spuffy relationship.
Today is my posting day and I created several banners of which I am posting three – all deal with the theme of Time. Hope you like them. Again, if you are interested is using any of them for a story or other project let me know and I can adjust as needed.

Wanted to post something for our first Free Day – did a banner with Spike’s quote about their “dance” – we’ve come one hell of a long way from this episode to this comic book season.

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.

Ofrenda Three – Latino Spuffy. I wore a similar headdress with my costume for the annual Dia de Los Muertos exhibition – I have created many ofrendas through the years.

Variation on The Portal – I liked the more somber quality but this one does not show the portal idea like the original one.

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 – Poetry
This one I had worked with before – I did a rework of the images. The poetry reminded me of Spike and his quest and trials for his humanity/soul.
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.
Manip Blackout Poems From Shooting Scripts
Congratulations to all for another great Seasonal Spuffy – Thanks for all the wonderful artwork and new stories. A special Thank You to all the administrators!
Influenced by thenewbuzwuzz and her blackout poems – I did want to try some myself – due to this being the final day and short on time, I did them way.
Banner – Manips
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.

NICE to have these Free Days – I’ve been working on images using excerpts from scripts – Here is one from Spike’s epiphany dreamscape episode –

Wanted to wish all our Seasonal Spuffy Moms a Happy Mother’s Day – and for all of us who have lost our mom – this is a very special day of remembrance.
