Not posting much, if ever

Sorry guys, having my life drawing art blog pretty much decimated has killed my will to hang out on Tumblr. I will miss the fun Spuffy and other fandom fun but having more than a year’s reclaiming of my artistic soul (after it was nearly destroyed by abuse) flushed down the drain because there was nudity involved makes me not want to draw ever again. Fuck you, Tumblr.

Fangirling Whilst Middle-Aged

Me: *watches s1 Supernatural*

*supernatural murders happen*

Me: OK.

*possession happens*

Me: OK.

*character takes a bath*

Me: Hold on a second. Where did she get a bathtub that fills that full? It is right up to the top. I want a tub that fills that full without the hot water running out. How big is her water heater? And she is still running water. Isn’t she going to turn the water off? How does the water keep running with the tub not overflowing? It’s been that full for literally three minutes, and the water is still running. WTF?

*water tries to murder character.*

Me: OK.

Me: If she’d turned off the water, she would’ve been all right.

We’re open!

Welcome to BTVSpositivity, a space for Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel fans to submit anonymous compliments about each other.  Feel free to check out the NAQ (that’s Never Asked Questions) before you hit up the submission box or the ask box.

What is BTVSpositivity?

This is for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel to submit anonymous, positive posts about other fans.  I made it because, like any other fandom, we tend to have periods where people are being extremely negative, and it seemed nice to have a space where we could just compliment each other.  If it works for The 100 fandom, it can work for us too.

What can I submit?

Anything that compliments another fan or group of fans.  Anything from “I think [X] makes the best edits” to “[Y] is the sweetest person” to “Fuffy fans are hilarious.”

Plain text submissions only, please.

Are submissions anonymous?

That depends on what you mean by “anonymous.“  I might see who submitted something (if you don’t use the askbox, for instance), but no one else will.  If you really don’t want me to know, submit it on anonymous through the askbox.

Isn’t this a little hypocritical, since you complain about the BTVS fandom all the time?

I contain multitudes.

Buffy “I am so done with you right now” Summers + rolling her eyes at Spike

[bewilderedsff]

I remember once writing a scene and thinking “gosh, Buffy’s rolling her eyes way too much.” And then I watched the canon scene I was rewriting and Buffy rolled her eyes MORE.

Rules of a Happy, Healthy Fandom

Rule 1, Don’t like, Don’t read

Pretty simple and straight forward. It doesn’t matter if it’s tagged as a ship you dislike or you’re 10 chapters in, if you don’t like it or it disturbs you too much, stop. The back button is your friend.

Rule 2, Properly Tag

If your fic contains anything possibly triggering or squicky, tag it. If your fic is an AU, tag it. If your fic is about a ship, tag it. Vice versa, do not overtag or improperly tag. If your fic is based around Stucky, don’t tag Stony.

Rule 3, Filters are your friend

If the app or website has an option to filter tags, use it. If you need to download an extension, download it. If someone has missed an important tag, you can politely message them requesting to add it.

Rule 4, Don’t harass people for shipping your NoTp

We all have that one ship we absolutely positively hate with every fibre of our being. And chances are, someone hates your Otp with the same ferocity. Don’t harass people over shipping your NoTp.

Rule 5, Do your research

If you’re writing a fic and a plot point or character is introduced you’re not sure how to write, research it! Google is your friend! There are also blogs dedicated to assisting people with certain topics such as @writingwithcolor

Rule 6, Your kink is not my kink, and that’s okay

Chances are, someone gets off to something you hate. And, that’s okay! We all have different and varying tastes!

Rule 7, Feedback keeps content creators creating

Likes, comments, reblogs, and recomendations keep your fanfic writers writing. Where would writers be if no one read their works? Where would artists be if no one bought their art?

Rule 8, If you want it, write it

It’s bound to happen to everyone, you just can’t find a specific fic for a specific ship or it’s that one rare pair no one appreciates like you do. What do you do in this situation? You write it yourself! It may not be the best-written or most poetic or maybe it’s just a pure crackfic, but that’s okay!

Rule 9, Fanon is not Canon

Likewise, headcanons are not canon. And if someone has a different headcanon, that’s okay! Sure, we may ignore canon for fics but headcanons and fanfiction and fanart are not canon!

Rule 10, Fiction is not reality

And the most important of all, fiction is not reality. Writing abuse fics does not mean you support abuse in real life. Writing suicidal characters does not mean the writer is suicidal. Writing glorified murder fics does not mean the writer supports murder in real life.

If you have more positive rules, feel free to add! These are just 10 little rules I find to be very important for a happy healthy fandom. Remember, fandoms are supposed to be for fun! You write that shameless self-insert Mary Sue OC, you write that rarepair smut, you write that 250k slow burn Coffee Shop AU! You make fandom as fun as you want it to be!
