She didn’t! She just put her fics so you can only read them if you log in to AO3.

Am I ridiculously out of the loop? Did sunalso yank all her stories from the net?

@flow. I hope you're right. I know there are a ton of new fans out there somewhere....

There are new fans every day but they don't find buffyforums or they don't join. But I do believe there is still an audience (and participants) for Seasonal Spuffy. So, it's more about how to to it in the future, not if to do it. At least I hope so.

writers here on SAD as well as on EF. There are also the reaction videos on YouTube and many podcasts and they manage to attract an audience. It's just a different type of platform and a different way to get involved in fandom. We have a similar problem at Buffyforums.

@slaymesoftly: I think some of the Spuffy fandom has simply moved to other platforms like Twitter, Facebook and Discord. None of which are really a good option for an event like Seasonal Spuffy. People still watch the show and people still fall in love with Spuffy. There are new Spuffy fanfic

maybe generate more participation. The hope is that making it more accessible (it is very accessible, but that is not the perception) will generate participation. Perhaps not. Maybe the Spuffy fandom has shrunk to the point where it can't sustain that level of activity. We don't know....

think it's too hard to navigate/comment/whatever. Or, if they're just readers and new to fandom, they may have never even heard of it, and would participate if they knew more about it. At one time, there was a round every season, dropping it to just two was an effort to not burn out the mods, and

Thanks for the boost, flow! Good description. I felt like such a slacker this last round. Probably the first time since 2005 (when I joined LJ) that I haven't written something for a SS round. I think LJ scares a lot of people off- they think they need to have a journal and don't want one, or they

Just a reminder... there will be commenting awards for our Spiral Spuffy event along with event participant awards! Awards will be given to anyone who comments at least once on each of the five fics! Comments must be submitted by midnight on 7/31 (site time) to qualify! smile

Here is a link to the contributions from the last round: https://seasonal-spuffy.livejournal.com/....html

for about a month. It started on LiveJournal but with the decline of LiveJournal they tried to find a new additional home at Dreamwidth. Sadly Dreamwidth is also not very active, that's why the mods are now looking for new options.

about how to make your own customized Playmobil Spuffy couple. The only condition is that the contribution is a debut and has not yet been posted before. Of course everyone is free to post it elsewhere afterward. The event is held twice a year, once in Spring and once in Fall and usually lasts

Hey @Marina: Seasonal Spuffy is a fandom event that has been running for about twenty years. Everyone can participate and contribute Spuffy fanworks. It doesn't matter what it is. They have banners, icons, videos, fanart, and fics. Everything is welcome. I for myself once posted a DIY tutorial

Hi! Can someone give me a short definition of Seasonal Spuffy? Or a link to one? Just curious smile

@Dusty: no, only since 2015, when I had just joined LJ. Seasonal Spuffy has been going a lot longer than that!

Kudos to Double Dutchess. I could have said that until this last round....but nothing got done this time. Please, everyone go read the announcement and take the poll so we know what to do.

You've done EVERY round of Seasonal Spuffy?! That is amazing!

As someone who hasn't skipped a round of Seasonal Spuffy since I joined LJ, I really hope it can have a continued existence (and hopefully a big revival) here on SAD!
