A not entirely pointless poll

[Poll #276045]

ETA: somebody tell me not to make a Riley site.

...please?

(Or a Dawn/Tara one...)

(and absolutely definitely not one for spanking fics...)

(or for fics set pre-The Freshman, because I do love my old school stories...)

Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again.
Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again.

Don't make a Riley site. Or a Dawn/Tara one.

But, can't support the no spanking fics one or the pre The Freshman fic one. Those would be pretty.

Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again.
Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again. Normal Again.

::pouts sadly:: There really should be a good one of those. You know you want to ;-)

To Serve Man: Jasmine fic archive. Normal Again fanfic site. Tabula Rasa fanfic site

How about a site that combined all of these? An archive for all the AUs canon has thrown up perhaps?

Actually, ignore that pre-The Freshmen gets my vote. :)

Silly. Spanking = good! always. yes.

I'd be really interested in the Tabula Rasa one. Since I very seldomly read Spuffy fics, and since almost all TR stories are Spuffy in nature, I've read virtually none. I was half-way through a very long TR story before I learned that there were any other ones out there at all. I thought I had an extremely original idea, LOL! (Though I don't think I've encountered any others told from Giles' point-of-view.)

In any case, it would be a lovely resource to be able to get at all of them at once. And a combined AU archive would be even cooler....

lol. Hey if you got the space do it all!

I love the idea for the Spanking fics!
hehe

Ooh, now the combined AU site is a great idea - it could include the Wishverse and the Birthdayverse too. Hmm...

You should absolutely not make a spanking!fic site. Because that would be amazingly hot and make me get on a plane and have rampant sex with you bad

[flurblewig.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes! And the Superstar-verse! (For which there is way not enough fic) I adored James!Bond!Jonathan :-)

Whilst I have read some good Dawn/Tara fic (mostly set when Dawn is in her 20s), I've also seen far more truly atrocious Dawn/Tara fic. So, Dawn/Tara fic site probably not a good idea. Tara/Buffy can work really well. I've seen a lot of such fics and many are excellent, usually based around the idea that Tara and Willow have drifted apart and Buffy has found love with Tara. A couple of scenarios that very few writers seemed to have tackled are "What if Willow had been standing by the window insead of Tara in Seeing Red so had been the one killed?" and "What if Tara was some how returned?" (if Darla can be brought back and Buffy can come back twice then why not Tara?). I've seen a few fics that tackle the former, they usually revolve around Buffy and Tara coming together in their grief and a relationship developing from there. I've seen one part of one that took the latter but unfortunately haven't been able to find any subsequent parts. It took as it's premise that Willow was firmly attached to Kennedy. Buffy/Tara was promised but not delivered in that part.

Would a general Tara slash site be too general for your purposes? Whilst most such fic is Willow/Tara there is a lot of fic about that ships her with other characters.

[doyle_sb4.livejournal.com]

I'm interested in Buffy/Tara but I've never really come across anything good (got any links?) - hmm, that's something to think about (and yes, most Dawn/Tara is absolutely atrocious)

I think Unintentional Tears pretty much has the market cornered in Tara slash...

[stephenbooth-uk.livejournal.com]

The Buffy/Tara I've come accross tends to be on mailing lists, website archives seem to keep disapearing or moving servers so bookmarks get out of date very rapidly. There's a Buffy/Tara and plenty of Buffy/Tara/Willow at The Bear Cave (http://www.papa-bear.com/fanfic/fanfic.html). That site is all NC-17 and mostly BDSM oriented. More Buffy/Tara/Willow at Hunter Ash's Fanfic (http://www.hunterash.com/BuffyStories.htm) site.

The URL I had for Unintentional Tears didn't work so I had to Google for it.
