Hey all!

Hopefully some people see this, I know I'm posting at the very end of the event.

I wanted to take the chance to rec the work of the amazingly talented, kind, and generous thenewbuzwuzz. I'm definitely biased since they're my beta partner and friend (who I had the honor of meeting IRL very recently). But I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates their talent and their contributions to this community.

They have been posting on Seasonal Spuffy for years and have produced an amazing variety of work, from fic, to vids, to manips, to actual physical art, to poetry, they've done it all. A true polymath. Here are some highlights. All links are to the Seasonal Spuffy Archive rather than the original posts, because that was slightly easier, and I'm lazy.

For vids, Grace in This is truly beautiful and full of emotion and sincerity, while Whatever it Takes is a short and snappy look at the things Spike does out of devotion for Buffy.

For manips, there's the beautiful Dragons Required and Buffy as Artimis Spike as Actaeon. They also  did the gifset Sometimes Love Is, which is lovely and a very cool mood board for Knife Edge's East of the Sun, West of the Moon.

And in pysical media, Some Kind of Cuddling Relationship and In a Band are both simply stunning.

Then there's their poetry. No one brings a more passionate love for, and deep understanding of, poetry to the Buffy fandom than Buzz. My personal favorite is Haikus Illegal in Several States, which is both funny and deeply poetic and romantic. But I also recomend Spike Wins the Soul in Kitten Poker and 11 cinqain poems. And I would be remiss if I didn't mention their very cool interactive poetry kits such as these ones, these ones, and this one.

As for fic, they wrote the weird and wonderful meercat and cobra and AU in two parts here and here as well as a couple of gender bending fics which are great for those who (like me) like a little queer in their spuffy now and then. They can be found here and here.

Truly, there's something for everyone in Buzz's work and I have had a great time following (and sometimes beta'ing) their Seasonal Spuffy entries over the years.

PS, hope I copied all the links into the right places, let me know if any are messed up. And, while I haven't had time to check out and comment on everyone's work, I hope to go back and catch the ones I missed as soon as possible. And thanks everyone for all the lovely memories over the years.

Edit: Oops, missed the thing where I was supposed to limit recs to two links per day. I used... a few more than that. And probably an exessive amount of links even without taking into consideration the limit. Oh well, what can I say except that I got excited? But I wasn't trying to imply that their work is any more important than anyone else who was recced with more moderation or anything like that.
