Title: I come bearing a poem (made of Seasonal Spuffy creator's notes)
Author: thenewbuzwuzz
Setting: post-series
Rating: T

Notes: the below work is a form of found poetry. I wrote it using only words and phrases that appear in authors'/artists' notes in Seasonal Spuffy posts. I tried to focus on common themes and avoid taking anything too unique, but regardless credit for the longer phrases I borrowed is at the bottom of the post.
Thank you: to the mods for their hard work and for hosting this extra solstice event; to the ever-lovely

thewiggins, beta and friend, for useful and very quick last-minute assistance, and to everyone for the memories.
Summary: Buffy is writing a poem for Spike post-series, once she knows that he survived but hesitated to contact her. This is not comics-compliant.

Title: Misc. Fire, Spuffy Abridged
Creator: double_dutchess
Form: vids

It’s another “free for all day and my recco for today is

double_dutchess

double_dutchess is a wonderful artist with great talent and style. Four of her banners have been chosen for the Seasonal Spuffy banner challenge. Unfortunately, quite a few of her banners were lost when nicpic shut down. Thank goodness the same isn’t true for her wonderful videos. (It was very hard just picking two of her videos.)

double_dutchess has a talent for putting the perfect song to go with the perfect pictures/scenes.

The first video "Fire" is a perfect example of everything working well together using the Pointer Sisters’ song of the same name. It can be found here

My second

double_dutchess recco is “Spuffy Abridged”. A vid put together with (believe it or not) “The William Tell Overture”!! AND it really works! You can find the vid here.

If you want to see more of her vids go to her YouTube channel here.

Title: six fic banners and one vid banner
Creator: Double Dutchess
Form: banner
Era: season 5, season 6 AU, post-series, comics canon
Rating: other

As my entry for this round, I wanted to pay homage to a few of the wonderful fanworks that have been made for Seasonal Spuffy over the years. I made banners for six fics and one video I have enjoyed in past rounds ranging from 2005 to 2022. I had a lot more on my list, but these seven were all I had time for. Besides the banners I am also including links to the fanworks I created the banners for, which I hope is allowed even though it's not a free for all day.

To all the wonderful authors and other creators who have contributed to Seasonal Spuffy over the years (the ones linked below are just the tip of the iceberg!) I say, thanks for the memories!

It is again "free for all day" and today my recco is

javajunkie247

What can I say about

javajunkie247’s work? The coloring on her banners/icons is unique and gorgeous. Her banner/icon compositions are beautiful and flawless. It is no surprise that three of her banners have been chosen for the Seasonal Spuffy banner challenge.

This banner post is stunning, as is this icon post.

A/N: 2/3 So, Youtube decided to restrict my video because of the music in one territory. If you live in that territory you may not be able to view the video. It also age restricted it, so if you're not logged in to Youtube, you won't be able to see it. I've decided to put an additional link below to my google drive for your viewing and listening pleasure.

Author: all_choseny (all choseny)

Rating: R
Beta: marinaeulalia
Banner artist: all_choseny
Warnings: some sexual content, descriptions of clinical depression, violence
Summary: Six months after the closing of the Hellmouth, Buffy Summers is living in London, running the new army of Slayers she and Willow created. With the Hellmouth shutdown for good, Buffy finds herself longing for a certain blonde vampire who perished saving the world. No matter how hard she tries, she can't kick the feeling of unfinished business and loads of regret. On one fateful night, a near fatal accident somehow transports the Slayer a year in the past. Will she have the opportunity to make things right?
A/N: 1/3 This story is complete in 6 installments. I will post the first installment today. I have two other entries of visual arts that I will also share later on today. (Let's say I went a little crazy on what may potentially be the last round of SS).

Title: Misc. Wallpapers

Since today is "Free for All Day" I am recommending these 2 reposts.

These two artists were the goal I strived for when I first started making banners. Their works were always fascinating and mesmerizing. These wallpapers were made in 2009, which proves that these artists were pioneers.

Enjoy this blast from the past!

Title – 1. Something Blue a Spuffy History (Seasons 2-5)
creator - teragramm
rating – other
This is my 2nd post of the day, you can find my first post here on LJ or here on DW

Artwork - Something Blue a simple, Spuffy history in blue. (Season 2-5.) I was going to continue the history and do Seasons 6 and 7 but choosing caps for those seasons proved too difficult. I wasn’t sure what to leave out and what to put in. Seasons 2 to 5 were much easier. Enjoy!

Full size image here

The caps used in these banners were made by me from Buffy HD episodes found here
