Welcome to Fanlore Project: Buffyverse!

This project was created in order to add more info to Fanlore about BtVS and AtS as they relate to fandom. It was also created to be a place to brainstorm, add links, and hopefully be a place of enthusiasms and shared knowledge. Please feel welcome to add to and edit any aspect of this page.

Scope

Anything and everything related to the Buffyverse, with a particular focus on fanworks and communities that are defunct, lost or at risk. Livejournal isn't going to exist forever!

Some Things to Keep in Mind

  • Information for new editors can be found in our New Visitor Portal. Among other things, it explains how to make an account, how to start a new page, and includes a lot of other helpful information.
  • Discussion on this project's Talk page is encouraged, as is discussion on individual article Talk pages.
  • All edits, whether big, tiny, or in-between, are welcome.
  • You don't have to be an "expert" on a subject. Adding what you know and feel passionate about are pieces of the puzzle, and ones that hopefully inspire others to expand on the topic.
  • All typos, mistakes, and errors are easily corrected. Don't let perfection hobble you.
  • Remember that Fanlore, like all wikis, is a collaborative effort, and may be edited by anyone.
  • Pages are not "owned" or controlled by any single person or group of people.
  • Pages and the information on them are only as robust, encompassing, and accurate as the information added by interested and enthusiastic fans like you.
  • Fanlore practices and encourages a Fanlore:Plural Point of View.

Goals

  • Updating older articles
    • Several Buffyverse article were written a very long time ago, before the format of Fanlore articles were standardized and may require updates to comply with current standards.
    • Recently updated articles which may be useful examples, include: Tara Maclay, Buffy/Faith, Barbverse, Yet Another Halloween Fic
    • Review links to ensure they still work!
      • All About Spike links need to be replaced with archived links as that site is currently offline. [LIST other sites requiring similar updates here]
  • Creating new articles

Areas of Focus

Fanfiction & Meta

  • Create and populate Fanfiction by Relationship categories. Note: there is currently conversations ongoing about standardizing Fic by Ship category names, and these category names may change as a result. See Category talk:Fanfiction by Relationship
  • Also add pages to Category:Buffyverse Crossover Fanfiction
  • Document Willow/Tara Human AU fics and any links to Xena uber
  • Fannish opposition to fantasy/human Au and RPF stories.
  • Fanfic author to pro author pipeline. Did it exist? Linden Bay? (eurydice mentioned something in her interview with Anne Jameson for fic)
  • Awards sites, with lists of winners/runners up if available
