We are super proud of our Scoobies of the Month for being incredible content creators! Heck, we are beyond proud of all of you. Whether you are here to drop stories, art, poetry, essays, or comments ... you are essential to this community, and we appreciate you so much!
First up, we have our Author of the Month: Blooddebt
Tell us how you got into Buffy the show and Buffy fanfic.
I started BTVS on a whim in late 2024 and fell fast and hard for the show because it's basically the blueprint for a lot of the tv and films I already loved. I'm in my late 20s now but it felt like something that would have been so formative to me if I'd first seen it as a teenager. It was like being able to see my skeleton for the first time, knowing it's where all my favourite things come...

It’s hard to believe, but it’s time to announce our next event! 
Due to popular demand, we’ll be bringing back one of our most beloved events, Pen and Paint!
For those who may be new to the event or need a refresher, the goal of this event is to let our incredible artists steer the ship. So often, artists bring to life what a writer dreams up, but for this event, the artwork will be the fic-spiration!
Artwork may include drawings, paintings, video edits, comics, movie posters, banners, manipulations, whatever strikes your fancy! (All Spuffy-focused of course.) Artists will post their new artwork and the authors will write a corresponding piece inspired by that art...
