B/R Shipping Week 2026 - Rules

Plain text beneath the cut!

Additional notes:

We may allow Buffy/Riley+ polyships in future rounds; watch this space! Include any background ships you want, if you so choose.

No bashing means no bashing in comments, notes, tags, as well as no submitting bashfic. No bashing in comments on yours or others' works.

Please ask if you have any questions!

No harassment, character/ship bashing, kinkshaming, etc. This space welcomes all fans of the B/R ship! Be kind and have fun. Submitted works may not bash the B/R relationship in the story/work, or in notes, tags, etc.

All submissions must be B/R focused. That means they should ship B/R and should generally portray the relationship in a positive way. For this round, we will not be allowing Buffy/Riley/other(s) polyships.

All content is welcome. From dead dove to wholesome fluff, we love it all! Remember to tag and rate responsibly. CNTW and NR are valid!

All mediums are welcome. Fanfic, art, podfic, graphics, meta, and any other kind of fanwork you might want to submit are allowed! No min/max.

Ask Mod Harlow if you have any questions! I am here to help.
