BB Ficathon January 2009: Buffy's Birthday-Feedback

Re: Buffy's 14th

Nice..interesting idea, that the Fanged Four Minus One engineered the breakup of Buffy's parents, just to screw with her life.

And that Drusilla gave all the stars the same name so she wouldn't forget. Sounds like her...

Here's a suggestion about this feedback thread...

Maybe a link to this thread could be put in at the bottom of each story?

That would save people from having to hunt for the feedback thread, especially if they got to the story thread through the "new unread posts" link at the top of the forum.

Good point...I'll do that now
I just read the thread, great stories guys! I especially liked the Bangel ones 😛 (EB and ~angelic slayer~)
Cant wait to read more 🙂
 
Re: A Complimentary Sticker

This is nice... the Sunnydale and Los Angeles crowds finally getting to mingle and have a little fun together.

You should write a spinoff story about Xander striking up a conversation with Illyria...she's like an anime version of Xena. How could he resist? 🙂
 
Poor Buffy, all those lovely pressies, but where's the choccy?

I've heard rumours on the grapevine that Willow wants the same treatment as Buffy.
 
Re: Imprint of a Memory

This is a nice story. I have always wondered how Dawn handled the immediate aftermath of Buffy's death... having to look at that robot every day.

Mr. Gordo is the guardian of Buffy's soul! 🙂
 
AndrewCrossett,
I like the concepts, unfortunately most of the characters are unknown to me which kinda spoiled the flow of the story. I take it they are from the comics?
But the parts I did understand I liked.

Thanks. Which story are you referring to?

In the first story Sandra is the only original character (I based her on an unnamed background character in the comics.)

In the second story all the characters are from the show, except for the vampires.
 
Laurent, Marc Jacobs, Natasha Richardson and mentions of the castle. Maybe I was concentrating on them too much, rather than just reading the story.

Laurent was the head vampire... original character. Marc Jacobs is a clothing designer and Natasha Richardson an actress that Cordy was mentioning in passing. The castle is the one in Scotland that Buffy had at the beginning of the season 8 comics.

As I have a very slow night, I'm currently sat reading all of the fanfics up so far. I have to say, they're all brilliant. :]

I loved We've got Tonight, it brought tears to my eyes, though! Considering I'm not a Bangel fan, I found that SO sweet. You really got the characters dead on, too. And it's nice to read that Buffy got to live a long and happy life, even without Angel. I love it. <3 Great work. 🙂

I LOVED Many Happy Returns aswell! I love how you made it set in comic times but also gave it some of that good ol' fashion showisms that the comics are lacking. (If no-one other than me understood that, then sorry. 😉) And ooh Mr Gordo! I love him so much. That was such a good FF! And you got Xander SO accurate, it's amazing. 🙂

I really enjoyed Buffy's 25th, too! I love how you brought all the characters we know and love back. 😉 One question, no Oz? Aww. Ah well, it was awesome.

Happy 17th Birthday, Buffy was another tear-jerker for me. 🙁 The ending, with Dawn lying next to Buffy reminded me so much of Bargaining, with Dawn and the Buffybot. But, aww, I found that so cute. It's so cute to have a story about the memories Buffy would have had of Dawn, too. So cute, amazing. <3

Buffy's 14th was awesome, too!! I love how it's Dru and Darla that split her parents up 😀 And then she'd have found all of this stuff from a fortune teller. The birthday before Buffy becoming a slayer was a really good one to do. I love it. 😉

Why is everything so Bangel..? Well, even so A Complimentary Sticker was really good. 🙂 I love the whole reunion thing. That would be a nice thing for Buffy on her birthday. And you get a chance to have all the characters in it. Love it.

I love the fact that Imprint of a Memory is from Dawn's point of you. And that it's the between season (sort of 😛) part of season 5 + 6. 😉 And I love that Dawn remembers getting Buffy Mr Gordo, aww! I think her remembering Buffy's past birthdays is such a good way to go about this. I really really like that fanfiction, it was amazing.

I have to say, to begin with I was SO confused by BUFFY'S 18th. But that was AWESOME. 😛 It made me laugh so much. That really does seem like a Buffy like dream and I love it. Seriously, I do. It was SO funny.

Dead Girls' Party made me all upset, but happy at the same time. 😛 My three favourite characters lead, yay! It's great to see Tara and Anya back 😀 And Tara still so loving toward Willow. :] I really loved the storyline to that one, and also how it managed to get the essence of Buffy without her speaking or really being in it much at all. Loved it. 😀

Ha, BUFFY'S 19th made me laugh. I liked it, in some parts I didn't really get it, but I found it funny. 😛 Awesome fanfic, again. 😀

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed them.

I'm glad someone is reading these. They were fun to write.
 
Re: Palabravampiress's story...

It just makes me really happy to think that Buffy will still be around and kicking demon butt with her friends when she's 60 years old.
 
Oooh, Palabravampires I loved your fanfic! 🙂 I love that even after so many years nothings changed; that another Buffy birthdays gone wrong and involves demons. 😉 And also the fact that Xander was wearing Gileses' coat, so sweet. I really loved it. One question, where's Willow? 😛 I LOVED it though. 😀
 
I take it that is the end of the Buffy's Birthday Fics.
Thanks to Keanoite and Lyri, that was enjoyable.
Nice fics every-one.

So? who's birthday is next?
 
Nope we still have more to come...the month doesn't end until Saturday😉

I will be organising another ficathon in the coming months...more info will follow in due course🙂
 
Well, I just wanted to say a general thanks for all the great stories we go to read this month.
Had a fun time reading them.

Can't wait for the rest of the last story. Keanoite, I'm looking unpatiently at you 😉

/SK
 
This was a lot of fun and there were some great stories, even if the feedback did dry up a bit after the first few.

I was happy to see us wrap up with a couple of really good season 8-based stories from Lyri and Keanoite (and I hope to hear the rest of the Cordy & Buffy one).
