[februaryfangfest]

Y'all, tomorrow is the last day of sign ups for February Fangfest! Please make sure you get your forms in before the end of the 15th January! <3

[februaryfangfest]

It's time once again, fam! We're reuniting the family for the third annual February Fangfest, because these vamps are quite literally made for each other.

This coming February, we're gonna have a bloody great time celebrating the Fanged Four. As is tradition, we’re looking for all kinds of fan creations. Fanfic, artwork, vids, meta/essays, icons, poetry, gifs, wallpapers, crossword puzzles, and whatever else you can dream up. If it's a fanwork celebrating the vamily - it's right up our alley!

This year's theme is REUNION - and we hope you enjoy!

How to Join in the Fun

We're taking sign-ups until the 15th January. To sign up, just fill out our sign up sheet! Want to enter multiple fanworks? Fantastic! You totally can! We'll be opening our collection shortly, and all fanworks should be posted there. We'll be revealing one per day throughout the event, or more if there's enough!

If you'd rather just look at the shinies and don't fancy creating, that's fine too. Commenters are beloved and will get all of the cakes.

Rules

All submissions must be your own creation and shouldn’t have been posted anywhere else beforehand. We wanna encourage fresh creative blood to be spilt!

Stories and artwork can be set at any point in any timeline, they could be missing scenes, other universes, other dimensions entirely, and with any combination of souls or a lack thereof, they can be in any size or shape, you could even resurrect the ol' penguin AUs - whatever floats yer boat!

Your work needs to incorporate the theme of Reunion in some way, however small. We encourage creative interpretation.

Works should involve at least two members of the Fanged Four.

The main ship and primary focus should be the Fanged Four or one of the sub-pairings (Spangel, Dangel, Sprusilla, Darsilla, etc). Any romantic endgame for a member of the Fanged Four should include at least one other member of the Fanged Four.

No bashing of the vamily or its members please, we're here to show them love.

Minimum word count for fic is 100 words and there’s no maximum. One shots and chaptered works are equally welcomed, but they should be complete and not part of a pre-existing fic series.

There’s no rating limit but you should tag responsibly. The same goes for artwork, adult content is very much allowed but please tag accordingly. 'Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings’ is a valid warning.

And, of course, please be excellent to each other.

Last but by no means least

We have a discord server, Runs In The Blood . If you've got any questions, you can find us there. If you just want to squee over the vamps and discuss em, head on over. We have a workshopping space for fanworks, too, and regular Work in Progress Wednesday events on the server to share feedback and cheerlead each other. We'll also be running watch parties during February!

You can find our 2025 masterlist here if you'd like to check out some of last year's wonderful works.

Welcome to Day Twenty-Eight of February Fangfest! A month-long event to celebrate the Fanged Four and all their gleefully gory glory.

On our penultimate day (that's right, we're finishing on the 1st March tomorrow!), let us present for your reading pleasure, Regrouping, or The One with the Butterflies by girlpire. A post-series Spangel fic.

After battling the forces of the Senior Partners all night, Angel and Spike find each other again. But Spike has been severely wounded. With sunset coming and the battle expected to continue, Angel has to make a decision: leave the other vampire behind and continue to fight, or take him and run?

Welcome to Day Twenty Three of February Fangfest! A month-long event to celebrate the Fanged Four and all their gleefully gory glory.

Today we present, Pagidefteis by SomeKindOfADeviant , a Sprusilla fic set during Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Four.

There’s nothing in this pen but white tile and a little drain in one corner, too small to stick a hand down. A little light in the ceiling, blinking red, serves as the only break in a sea of blinding bone. Drusilla returns to set things right. It doesn't exactly go according to plan.

Welcome to Day One of February Fangfest! A month-long event to celebrate the Fanged Four and all their gleefully gory glory.

We’re kicking off things with Countdown by Higgystar. A Fanged Four fic set during Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season Two.

Time ticks onwards. The countdown has begun to the fixing of everything. Our favourite vampires are preparing themselves for a reunion because for once it seems things are aligning their way. Angel has lost his soul. Darla was never dusted. Drusilla is finally healed. Spike...well he's still in the wheelchair. But they're immortal, they have time to fix it all for the better.

Welcome to Day Twenty-Two of February Fangfest! A month-long event to celebrate the Fanged Four and all their gleefully gory glory.

Up next we present, I watch the work of my kin, bold and boyful (straw-blonde hair and her tongue so mean.) by artemideaddams. A Victorian Fanged Four fic.

We all know: it's been twenty years and the debate about whether Angelus or Spike ate pussy better is still alive in this fandom. ...what many fans don't know, however, is that Angelus and William the Bloody used to have the same debate, too. Their solution for finding an answer to this question was all at Darla's and Drusilla's advantage.

Welcome to Day Seventeen of February Fangfest! A month-long event to celebrate the Fanged Four and all their gleefully gory glory.

Up next we present, Sleeping Beauty (Reunion) by artemideaddams. A Darsilla fic in two time periods.

There is Sleeping Beauty who just woke up in her white dress, but there are blood stains on it. And near her there is a woman, or maybe a devil, in a red dress. It's a story they both already know. It's a cycle they cannot escape. It's the pantomime of a play they already rehersed, in opposite roles.
