LovingWilliam (3/15 08:05pm): Hannora - Hi, I'd like to get in on that "Imitation of a Man" too - I sent you a PM with my email, but I'm not sure it went through as it doesn't show up in my outgoing box. Would you let me know via PM, so I can see if it's working, please? Sorry for the hassle. heart
Hannora (3/15 03:12pm): @though_you_try: You're very welcome. smile
though_you_try (3/15 03:08pm): @Hannora a huge thank you!! love

though_you_try (3/15 01:22pm): @Hannora would you mind terribly if I jump in and ask for it too? If you're okay with it, I'll send you a PM. I saw the first chapter and wanted to hunt it down but then just kinda accepted defeat, ^^"" Thank you so much in advance!
Hannora (3/15 12:49pm): @kpchrs: Hi, I got it, send me a PM with an email address and I'll send it to you. smile
kpchrs (3/15 09:08am): Hi, uh, I dunno where to ask, but is it ok if I ask: does someone have a copy of "Imitation of A Man" here? Or can someone help me find it? I'm very new in Spuffy and still clueless as hell, thanks/sorry in advance lol...
the_big_bad (3/14 08:42am): @tragic…there is a suggestion in the suggestion box from 1/1/24 on this topic that you could second if you want.
cawthraven (3/13 03:14pm): Hey y’all reminder that if you have a feature request please put it in the Suggestion Box—I almost missed this one because chat can move fast sometimes. Anyway we will think through improvements to the Nomination process to make it easier on folks.
mcgnagallsarmy (3/13 12:28pm): @tragic: what I do is, I hit ctrl+F on the MotM page and search for the name of the person I want to nominate. if nothing pops up, I know I'm good to go and nominate that person write
Spikelover4ever (3/13 08:46am): @justme2 thank you so much! Omg you made my day smile
Hannora (3/13 05:36am): @cawthraven & @Harmony99: You're very welcome. Wow you restored it fast, thanks to the team. I want to thank the person on Buffyforums.net who shared it with me. kiss
JustMe2 (3/13 03:50am): @Spikelover4ever that is Betrayed, forgotten, abandoned by Loup Noir https://dark-solace.org/...=5157
tragic (3/13 03:31am): @sigyn it is def a helpful feature!! I just personally find it to be a little overwhelming to scroll through (that’s a lot of history! like 115 people per category now!)
Sigyn (3/13 02:02am): @tragic, not a mod, but the MotM list has all of them written down, so you can at least see who HAS won.
tragic (3/13 01:28am): This might be silly/too much work/unhelpful, but I gotta say that I'd love to see a feature for nominating MotM that was something that showed who hasn't been one yet! With nearly 10 years of members, I always panic and never know who to nominate
Harmony99 (3/13 12:03am): Yay!!! I searched high and low for that and couldn't find a complete copy. Thank you Hannora!
pfeifferpack (3/12 11:56pm): party Happy birthday to enltrusk, CosmicGoodbyes, AuthorVictorious & to De85172! May you be well celerbrated and gifted. May every memory be one of joy & love. May you have a year with great health, genuine love, success & joy.
Spikelover4ever (3/12 11:36pm): Another detail is that Tara heals Buffy's injuries. I think Buffy becomes like a bouncer at the club?

Changes to Tagging Artwork

Hi all! It’s been almost a year and a half since we added artwork to Elysian Fields and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s been going—over 100 stories marked “artwork” have been added to the site since then, and we don’t think that number is slowing down any.

During that year and a half, however, we have noticed that our artwork tagging could use some improvement. There’s some confusion over which tags to use when, and the “Exclusively Artwork” checkbox conflicts with our site events, causing headaches for members trying to add their artwork to events.

With that in mind, we’re rolling out the following changes to artwork tags:

  • We are retiring the Artwork genre. Artwork is really a category of fanwork, not a genre, and this removes the duplication of tagging and reduces confusion about whether to use both the Artwork genre and category or just one.
  • All works tagged with the...

Final Details about the Monster Mash Event

It’s not long to go until EF’s next mini-event, folks!

If you missed the announcement about the Monster Mash, see the news post linked here. Or if you need a little reminder, the theme is Monster Mash. There is a monster in town* and Spike and Buffy team up to take it down. (*The fic does not need to be set in Sunnydale. Road trips and fics where Buffy and Spike live in other towns or cities count.)

The posting window for stories and art is one day (from 12 am/midnight until 11.59 pm on March 10th) and the window to earn the commenter award is three days (same start time, but running until 11.59pm on March 12th). Members can post artwork, drabbles, one-shots, or even multi-chapter fics if they wish, so long as they post the complete work before the end of the event.

As mentioned in the announcement post, there will be awards on offer for participants, artists (including banner artists)...
