Fandom Snowflake Challenge, Day 8

Recs are such an important part of fandom. Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment here saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I may have gone a bit overboard here, but sparrow2000 inspired me. I didn’t have her year-to-year rec list, so I decided to go at it a bit differently. (Yes, they’re all Buffy the Vampire Slayer stories unless otherwise indicated.)

Old Favorites.

“Alternative Lifestyle” by A.C. Chapin
“Not Even Jimmy Olsen” by blairprovence
“the Uninvited Guest” by yahtzee63
“the Way, Way Back” by Liz Estrada
“Interludes” by dreamsmith

Newer Might-turn-into Favorites.

“blindr dot com, or, the importance of coconut-milk lattes to long-term success” by antennapedia
“One Day Like This” by il_mio_capitano
“Some Springrolls with Those Nachos” by kwritten

Definitely!!! And there's no such thing as too many recs ♥

So many things to check out!!!

[aadler]

Very little new here, practically all of the list comes from previous recs. These are stories (or series of stories) that have brought me ample pleasure over the years. Why shouldn’t other people get some of that same pleasure?

I'm glad I could inspire you! :)

A number of favourites on this list, and also some I don't know, so will add them to my 'to read' list, so thank you for that!

[aadler]

Tastes can vary, but if you like the kind of stories I write, you’re fairly likely to enjoy the non-me stories that I enjoy. Dive in.

CAT TALES!!!
I just went and found the proper link on that series - it's been ages since I've read it, and it's so due the re-read. That series is what sent me tumbling head over heels for the Batfamily.

I am so excited by all of these BtVS recs! Thank you for sharing all of them!!

Been enjoying the Cat Tales ’verse since … well, at least since 2005, and maybe the year before that. It’s a pleasure that keeps delivering.
As for the others, most of them I’ve recced and re-recced in the past, so it’s no momentary enthusiasm. These are lasting pleasures, which deserve more attention.

Absolutely! What a great collection of recs. You've just made the BtVS fandom a happy place. *g*

> You’ve just made the BtVS fandom a happy place.

The authors of those stories did that. I’m just passing along the joy.
