Hannora (6/16 02:22pm) : @acekoomboom: I follow Desicat on AO3 and the tags are pretty reliable. There indeed are lots of good fics archived there and on FF.net. Be brave and try. 
Grief Counseling (6/14 12:08pm) : Happy Birthday Spuffyistruluv!
GhostsInLove (6/14 11:30am) : Happy Birthday, Spuffyistruluv!! ππ₯³π
Spikesgirl (6/14 10:34am) : Happy birthday Spuffyistruluv !π I hope you have a great birthday π₯³
honeygirl51885 (6/12 06:58am) : Totally legit, ace! I didnβt venture out to AO3 for the longest time, and I still donβt visit much, but there are some stories/authors there that I really love. SummerFrost is one I highly recommend. https://archiveofourown.org/...01796
acekoomboom (6/11 10:19pm) : And like, obviously that is a frivolous thing that doesn't actually matter, but it is a thing that my mind has latched on to and has a very hard time letting go of.
acekoomboom (6/11 10:18pm) : @swonnderful @hannora I just saw a Tumblr post from Desicat about a fic they are posting rn on AO3. It sounds sooooooo good but I've never read Spuffy outside of Spuffy-centric sites and I love all my data here, how different and special it is, I don't think I can cross contaminate my reading ππ
Spikesgirl (6/11 01:08pm) : Happy birthday Amber611!π I hope you have a great birthday π₯³
Grief Counseling (6/11 12:37pm) : Happy Birthday, Amber611! 
Slaymesoftly (6/11 11:37am) : were rolled in with something else related to them when I put them on here, so they aren't missing, just don't have their own place. "It's Over" and "The Lines Get Blurred" are the two new arrivals.
Slaymesoftly (6/11 11:35am) : I found one more story at EF that I'd never put on here, so I've added it also. Maybe I didn't do it originally because it's a crossover with Lucifer? Who knows? I probably just missed it like I did the other one. Anyway, it's here now, and I think that's it. Any other potentially missing stories
Hannora (6/8 04:29am) : @Swonderful: Desicat is still on AO3, Poetry Professor was posted there but was taken down. For anyone interested, I saved it.
Swonderful (6/7 10:22pm) : What happened to Desicat? I was reading "Poetry Professor" last year, was up to chapter 7, belatedly found an update link in old emails, but the story and author seem to have vanished.
GhostsInLove (6/6 12:04pm) : @acekoomboom When inspiration hits, it hits hard!! ππ
VeroNyxK84 (6/4 02:29am) : I feel you @acekoomboom! That was also my intention at first, and now I have +15 chapters with +30k words. I find that there's always this risk with Spuffy. π You can do it! ππ
acekoomboom (6/3 05:54pm) : You guys ππ I tried to throw together a quick little 1k fic for the Wanderlust event, bc why not, and it's already up to 6k with lots of plot left to be jotted down and story to be written. Why did I do this to myself? *How* did I do this to myself? I don't write things this long noooooooo π
Spikesgirl (6/2 02:48pm) : Happy birthday π Juggler!π I hope you have a great birthday π₯³
GhostsInLove (6/2 02:27pm) : Happy Birthday, Juggler!!!

First up, we have our Author of the Month: lilacsandorangeblossoms
Tell us how you got into Buffy the show and Buffy fanfic.
I can’t remember the first time I got into the show but I remember the second time I really got into the show it was in 2023. Our puppy Hazel and she would not stop barking. I was trying anything to get her to be quiet, she didn’t like Gilmore girls which is our other dog’s favorite show. I was flipping through the channels and saw Buffy was on.

How is it already a brand new month!? And with that comes our SOTM interviews for May!
First up we have our Author of the Month: flootzavut
Tell us how you got into Buffy the show and Buffy fanfic.
I got into Buffy because it was coming off Netflix and I thought I should watch this seminal piece of fandom history at least once. I was already deep in fandom and had written lots of fic, but I didn't mean to get hooked.

Where...
