Pers, I'm jealous of your ability to use HTML. You did a great job putting all the links in one place.

I'm 27 year old female. I've lived in London practically all my life. My favourite BtVS writers are Joss, Marti and Jane. I tend to look for fanfic that approaches their brilliance.

I started reading fanfic in May. I got bored with B/S and decided to branch out into different genres in June. It was hard work at first because I didn't know what to expect or where to look. But I have a system now. I will read the first 10 pages of any author in any genre. If I'm still bored by page 11, I put it down. I have a preference for fics where I can make an emotional connection with the character and fics with a well-paced story. I love all the BtVS characters, but my favourites are Buffy, Giles, Spike & Xander. I love our group because we have the freedom to read so many different genres. We can select the cream of the crop.

I'm still a novice when it comes finding to non-ship/other authors on the Internet, but I'm learning fast thanks to the recommendations (recs) that you guys have provided. So far, I've read 4 out of the 6 fics recommended by Pers, JodyorJen & Spooky K.

STILL LOOKING FOR FIC?
If anyone else has more recommendations please let us know ASAP because we only have 2 weeks to make our recs. If you're finding it hard to find fic or you're pressed for time, you could always read the selection that has already been posted by Pers, JodyorJen, Spooky K and myself and select your favourites. It should be easier for everyone to read & rec next month because we will have a month instead of 2 weeks.

Hey everyone,

I'm 36 and live in North Carolina. Alas, I didn't find Buffy until Bargaining but I was hooked and it has been a rampage ever since. I'm an old X-philes, so I knew about the world of fan fict and just started looking. I have been all about the B/S but, like MosDef, I've gotten bored with it and have started to branch out. Let's see, I'm also on the W/X team.

I will probably start with all of your suggestions, and actually have already read some of them. And I would love a mailing list!

I'm looking forward to this!
