hostile17 (10/30 05:54pm): Cool- thanks for your input!
Holly (10/30 03:53pm): @hostile17 -- I have Speechify (it comes in very handy in reading back chapters to me, as well as timing stuff for my day job). If you use it frequently, I think the investment is worth it. I haven't found anything else I like as much.
hostile17 (10/30 12:28pm): So, I often download a story and use Google Books on my phone to read it out loud. But just discovered Speechify. I like the voices a lot more and there's one British guy that I think pulls off Spike's lines best. But it's like 100 a year. Kinda steep. Anyone find an app similar that is cheaper?
pfeifferpack (10/30 01:26am): party Happy birthday to Killin_it_22! hope every dream is reachable,every loved one near,each gift perfect. May all memories warm & joyous. May this year bring success & love daily.

pfeifferpack (10/27 10:35pm): partyHappy birthday to Starrynight7! Hoping this day is a big celebration of all that is you by everyone you most love. May you be gifted well and lavishly. May you have a year of joy followed by joy and success after success.

Final Details about the October Event

It’s the news post you’ve all been waiting for! Ellie is here on behalf of the Mod Team to answer all of your burning questions about next month’s event. First things first:

What was the theme again?

BETRAYAL! (Not poodles. Probably.)

Elysian Fields is turning eighteen, and so, the inspiration for the theme comes from Buffy’s own harrowing eighteenth birthday, when she is betrayed by Giles and the Council alike. 

That said, your fic/art DOES NOT have to be based around that same episode. So long as it’s a Spuffy work with betrayal as a theme, you’re good. This does not mean it specifically has to be Buffy or Spike who is the subject or perpetrator of the betrayal! You could go for a spin on canon with Amy betraying Willow, Willow betraying Tara, or something completely AU like...

Event Announcement: Anniversary Month 2024

It is a momentous occasion, folks. Against all odds, our archive is on the cusp of turning eighteen! 

Whether you are a commenter, an author, an artist, a beta reader, a sensitivity reader, or any combination thereof, the Mod Team invites you to join us to celebrate with our anniversary event, the theme of which is: Poodles!

That’s right. You’ve been asking for months, and we’ve been telling you for months. Now, don’t you feel silly?

Where did the inspiration for the theme come from? Buffy’s own near-fatal experience of being bitten on the neck by an angry poodle puppy.

RULES:

  • All fics must be poodle-centric. Spike adopts a poodle. Buffy is turned into a poodle. A poodle is the Big Bad. As long as poodles are heavily featured, we’ll consider...

Comments & Constructive Criticism

Hello, wonderful EF community. As you might be aware, we are close to announcing the theme of our 18th-anniversary celebration event. Eighteen years, y’all! This community is almost old enough to vote! Or to be drafted! Or to vote not to be drafted!

But before we get to celebrating, there is something the Mods wanted to address.

Clarifying Constructive Criticism

We have always been a pro-constructive criticism community in the right circumstances; we have not, however, always been good about defining constructive criticism or empowering our creators to establish safe boundaries. This is something we have corrected this year, with a new definition available on our TOS page. It reads as follows (emphasis added):
