The Rules (Breaking these rules can lead to threads & accounts being deleted or banned!!)1. This is a Spuffy forum, if you're looking for Bangel fics, Angel fics, Spander fics, etc...GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!! This is exclusively for seeking out Spike/Buffy fics. Spike and Buffy have to be the two central characters of the story, doesn't matter what context their relationship is.
2. Please 'read' the brief description for each forum, to ensure that you're posting in the correct forum. Honestly I tire of moving them myself, it's a lot easier to just delete' them
. Below are the forums and their descriptions:
Find-A-Fic: This is the place to post about a 'specific' fic you're looking for. Meaning you've read it once upon a time but don't remember author/title and need help finding it now.
This is only for the fics you 'do not' know the title/author of!! Found Fics: This is where all the found fics from the 'Find-A-Fic' forum Are moved to.
Cold Cases: These are the fics posted in the 'Find-A-Fic' forum that has not been found yet.
Fic Recs: If you're looking for a 'general genre' of Spuffy Fic for example, 'Baby Fics' or 'Buffy's a vampire fics', 'All Human fics', 'High School fics', etc...please post them here.
This is only for those seeking 'any' fics meeting their certain criteria(s). If you have the word 'any' in the subject/message it should go here!! Fic Exchange: These are for those fics you know the title and author of, but they've either been removed by the authors or just lost in cyberspace. Post the story and author here to see if someone has it saved and will email it to you.
This is only for the fics you 'do' know the title/author of, but can't find anywhere on the internet!![b]
[b]Find an Author: This is where you can search out an author who seems to have dropped off the face of the Earth. Post your query here someone might know where said author is.
This is 'only' for seeking out an author! 3. When exchanging fics, I suggest that you contact the authors and get their permission first. This is not a 'rules' but I think it's the respectable thing to do. Our rules is this, if you have a fic and you're willing to share it, do so off the site through email. Simply post your email so those looking for the fic can contact you 'through email or private messaging' to get the fic. To those seeking a fic, DO NOT post your emails, simply email/pm the fic holder through the email they provide or by clicking the pm envelope icon beside their names, if you see one.
Do not post 'wayback machine' links to fics that authors have taken off the internet, that's just rude and disrespectful, if you have the links and you want to share them, again do so 'off the site' DO NOT post them here.4. Don't spam the forum.
5. Please 'always' be respectful. If someone has posted a query try to help them but don't post about some 'other' fic or topic in the thread, that has no relevance to the original posters query. Basically, stay on topic.
6. Please make your subject line relevant to the fic you're seeking. This will help others who might 'search' the forums. So posting things like 'Help Me!' and 'Spuffy' as the subject line isn't very helpful, please don't do that. For example if you're looking for a fic where 'Spike finds the Gem of Amara and Buffy lets him keep it', then put that as the subject line.
7. Please remember we're not here to critique fics. This is a place for us to come and help each other seek out Spuffy fics. No one is asking your opinions as to whether you liked/disliked a fic, so please keep it to yourselves. Please discuss critiques off-site.
Just because you don't like a fic or it's not something to 'your' taste does not mean that others wouldn't like it, so please try to remember that. Also what you say about a fic could be hurtful and discouraging to that fic's author.
8. If you're seeking 2 or more 'specific' fics please create separate threads for each request. Please do not stick them in one thread.
9. If you ask about a story and others respond with the authors/titles/links to possible stories, but you don't reply to let us know if your story have been found or not...your thread WILL be deleted. If the original poster states that that is not it, and it's been sitting for awhile those I will move to the cold case forum.
10. When adding a URL please use the URL/Link icon which is at the top of the text area, right above the smilies. If you just post the URL/Link and it is very long, it will cause the forum News Widget (which can be found on the the left side of the site on several pages) to be distorted and block part of the page, even the stories.
*That's it for now, but there maybe more posted as the need arises.*
