Sunnydale After Dark
News

We’re so excited to host our first month-long event! hug

Fics, art, and video edits will all qualify, so long as the submission is new and ties into the theme “Sunnydale After Dark.” The theme is intentionally open-ended and we are eager to see how it inspires everyone differently!

Awards will be given for writers, artists, and commenters. 

To participate and earn your sparkly award graphics you must:

  • Post between Sep 1-30. (Multi-chapter submissions do not need to be finished within that time frame.) 
  • Click the “Scooby Celebration” checkbox when you post.
  • Label any banners with “Sunnydale After Dark - Scooby Celebration 2022.”

Writers, your fic must not be any longer than seven chapters (for seven seasons of Buffy!). The goal here is to create lots of finished works!

Graphic artists and video editors, we’ve created two new site categories called “Graphic Arts” and “Video Arts.” Graphic artists can use the image embedder. Video artists will need to use the “source code” button to embed videos hosted elsewhere. In Youtube, for example, click “share” and then use the “embed” code.

There will be a new checkbox that can be marked for art submissions. This will allow you to bypass the minimum word count requirement typically associated with stories.

We are eager to turn this into an archive that supports and showcases all types of Spuffy creators. Obviously, this platform was designed for fanfiction. So if you’re an artist and encounter any snags as you attempt to post your artwork, please reach out so we can troubleshoot together to make this a seamless process in the future! We’re hoping to refine the site and make it even more art-friendly in the future.

We’re looking forward to seeing how the theme inspires everyone this September. Thank you for helping this archive flourish with your enthusiasm and participation! We’re so very grateful!

Love, 

Your friendly neighborhood SADmins. thanks

PS,

Don't forget to look out for the brand new event skin co-designed by Grief Counseling and Dusty because they just do everything together now it seems. It will be called "Sunnydale After Dark" and it is a VIBE. Also, please show Grief Counseling your appreciation for the hilarious graphic up above.

The graphic is AMAZING, Grief, you never stop being hilarious!

As for the news itself, I just love you guys so much claphearteyes seriously, I'm so happy you're making this into an archive that hosts art, too! I'm looking forward to sharing all my past Spuffy drawings (although I doubt I'll be making any new ones in September, considering this theme has inspired me to start YET ANOTHER FIC. SHAME ON ME.)

Thank you so much, SADmins (lol) hug

That graphic is perfect. “Then they have more sex. They also fight” is the Spuffy motto. WTG, GC!

So excited for this event!

The new skin went live today, Firiare! You should be able to find it now. heart

I love the graphic and the new skin! So nice that art & vids are welcome too. I hope that I'll manage to contribute some tiny thing despite September being a horrible month for me workwise.
