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.

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):
