Hi EF,

We have changed the event icon set for April Challenge Month from a puzzle piece to an umbrella, following member feedback. To the Mods’ collective embarrassment, we overlooked the unfortunate fact that puzzle pieces have a historically problematic relationship/association with autism.

As administrators of the site, we are committed to ensuring that our space here is safe and welcoming to all individuals. Discomfort of any kind should not be a part of the EF experience. We are very grateful to the member who stepped forward as well as the members who seconded these concerns for helping us correct our oversight.

Your April Challenge Event fics will be marked with this icon:

And a reminder to authors and artists: Please make sure that ‘Written for the Elysian Fields April Challenge’ is on your fic banner! This was added to our news post in an edit earlier this week but not included in the original publication.

Thank you!

We promised a new event announcement, and I’m here to deliver! 

For the month of April, your task––should you choose to accept it––is to respond to challenges issued to our site by your fellow members (see here). You don’t have to complete the fic (or art) by the end of the month, just have posted the first installment between midnight on April 1st and 23.59 on April 30th (site time). 

And you can respond to as many challenges as you want––so long as you didn’t issue them yourself! 

If you find a challenge that mostly speaks to you but you would like to change an element of, it is recommended that you contact the person that issued said challenge and ask for their permission/blessing.

Any other questions or queries, please comment below or contact one of the Mod Team directly via private message. Further details, including what the awards will look like, will be posted closer to the time.

It’s fair to say, our very first micro-event has been a huge success! 

In the space of forty-eight hours, 32 works (stories and/or art) were shared by 27 participants. That’s a massive 175,143 words!

Well done, all! Everyone should have participant awards now on their profile, but if you discover any issues, get in touch. 

Not caught up on the wealth of satisfying Spuffy yet? You can find them all linked here.

First and foremost, I know what you’re all wondering. What do the awards for this thing look like? Well, here you go!

Keen observers will notice that there is a commenter award, when I previously said there wouldn’t be one. This was mostly down to logistics, but my awesome fellow-mod DarkVoid116 decided to take on the challenge of the complex coding after all.

To qualify for the Finishing Months Commenter Award you must have left at least FIFTY (50) comments of at least 15 words between January 1st and March 31st 2023 on fics that were started but incomplete before 1st January 2023. 

Dark has also coded a page to track members who have met this criteria (linked here), as well as an event page (here), and list of winning authors (here). 

What this means is that a lot of the hard work in figuring out who is eligible for what has been done for you and me both. All qualifying fics and authors should appear on the relevant pages without you needing to email us with details as we originally planned. 

That said, if you finish a fic and it does not appear where you expect, of course get in touch!

And on a final note, the Mod Team would like to say here and now, that we are not planning to run this event next year, as we don’t want to inadvertently incentivise the temporary abandonment of fics. 

Let’s finish those WIPs, folks!

It hardly seems possible, but it is indeed that time of year again. That is, the start of a new year, and time to look back on the journey we have taken over the last 12 months.

I want to start by personally saying this was a challenging year in many ways. Elysian Fields experienced some turbulence, not aided by the host’s update in March of 2022, which upset a lot of our systems for a good amount of time. We have not entirely recovered from that and are continuing to explore our options to avoid repeats. That said, with whatever we faced, we (the Mods) are endlessly thankful to you (the membership) for your support, encouragement, and patience.

Here are some things to come in 2023:

• New and/or reshaped events, courtesy of the irreplaceable EllieRose101, who was a force of nature as Events Mod over the course of her inaugural year in the role. 
• The registration of EF as a non-profit. This will allow us to recommence site donations (and thank you so much to everyone who has reached out, asking why donations were discontinued last year)
• More information about SpuffyCon 2024
• Continued site improvements and additions, including the History of EF page

As stated above, 2022 was a challenging year. We said goodbye to two Mods. While kats_meow was not a Mod for long, she made an indelible impression on the team and her absence has been strongly felt (though we understand work comes before play, much as we would wish it otherwise). And of course, OffYourBird, who founded, initiated, led, or managed many of the features that make EF, well, EF (including but not limited to the weekly sprints, the Friday check-in, the Secret Santa Event, watch parties, the Discord server, and the Facebook group before that) stepped down as Mod. I think it’s especially important to recognize the enormous contribution she made to EF, and how even though she has moved on to other things, she set into motion and enhanced so many of the aspects of the community we enjoy today.

Suffice it to say, it was not easy filling these shoes, yet we ended up with a successful, joyful year, courtesy of DarkVoid116 and EllieRose101 who joined the Mod team in March 2022. They have been irreplaceable additions to the Mod team and are directly responsible for the wonderful state of the archive today, working both behind the scenes and taking center stage. If you enjoyed your time at EF in 2022, you have them to thank. I, personally, will never stop.

We made some additional changes in 2022, including the retirement of site skins (many of which had been with us since our founding) and the addition of new site skins with art provided by some of the most talented, active artists we have in the community. We also rolled out the inclusion of artwork-only submissions for storytellers and artists alike—the more ways to tell Spuffy stories, the better.

Then there were our four site events. Challenge Month in April, Mystery Month in July, Road Trip Challenge in October, and our third Secret Santa Fic Exchange in December. The response was overwhelming, as the numbers will show.

So it’s time to start issuing awards.

In the third year of recognizing the milestone that is Completed Fics, we had 110 authors complete a total of 387 fics; that’s 27 more fics than last year. 

All authors who completed a fic (one-shots count!) in 2022 have been issued this award: 

The other award seeing its third year is the Challenge Complete Award. This was awarded to site members who completed any site event challenge in 2022 (that is, the challenge events that are overseen by the EF Mods and come with spiffy thematic skins and stuff). The exception here being Secret Santa, as finishing the fic is baked into the challenge itself.

And speaking of Secret Santa, we have some numbers to share.

We had 47 event stories, which garnered 1,196 likes and 581 comments. And as a last-minute addition to the awards this year, we also awarded commenters who provided more than 15 story comments comprising 15 or more words with an award as well. So all participants who completed their fics should now have their participant award on their profile; those commenters who met the requirements should also have an award.

P.S. If you haven't read the fics yet, you can find them all on their site event page, which is also accessible by going to Events >> 2022 Secret Santa.

We also have issued awards to our most prolific members. These are chosen by the numbers. 

In 2022, we added:

• 9,820,415 words
• 488 stories
• 2,586 chapters
• 1,641 new members
• 89,909 new likes
• 32,741 new comments to the archive (comprising 1,628,229 words)

That is a lot of content, all made possible because of you guys.

If you are missing an award you should have received, please reach out to us (ssolace@gmail.com) and we’ll verify and get that corrected.

Guys, it was a hell of a year. We are so thankful to the members who make up our wonderful community. Thank you so much for your contributions—fic, art, betaing, commenting—and your company. We look forward to a great year ahead.

Evening, folks! December is moving crazy fast, so the Mod Team would like to take this opportunity to check in with everyone participating in our Secret Santa event this year. 

At the time of writing this, fourteen participants have shared gifts, which means the site is still expecting a further thirty-three pieces (whether written stories or visual art) in the next two weeks. 

Reminder: gifts must be posted by 11.59pm site time on December 31st. 

If you cannot make this deadline, please get in touch with a Mod ASAP!

Conversely, if you wish to put yourself forward as a rescue writer or artist and haven’t already done so, drop us a line.

All gifts shared so far can be found here. 

I know we wrapped the October Road Trip event literally yesterday, but I am very excited to jump right into our next one and, apparently, I’m not alone! When I asked on Discord if you guys wanted a little breather before the next announcement, you all basically said, “Who needs breath? Gimmie!” 

So, here we are. 

There is a lot of info below, and I recommend taking your time to read it all if you wish to take part, but the short version is this: during December, members who have signed up will give and receive a fic (or art!). 

If you’ve never taken part before, or if you need a reminder, here’s how it works: 

As of this post going live, you can fill in a GOOGLE FORM HERE to sign up. 

Everyone who signs up to participate will write one fic (or make a piece of art) and receive one fic (or piece of art. You can opt out of this in the Google form if you’re only interested in written fic). Each fic should be a “one-shot” size (or be posted as a single “chapter” in the case of art). That is, the fic must be under 14,750* words in length. 

*While the chapter word limit is technically 15,000 words here on EF, variations in processor word counting created a lot of work (and many workarounds) previously for Holly, so we're keeping it lower to assure there won't be any further issues.

There is no word count minimum to this event. 

Gifts DO NOT need to be holiday-related in any way (unless your giftee requests it!). 

Participants will receive an award on their profile at the end of the event. This year, it (and the custom banner art, displayed at the top of this post) was kindly designed by MillennialCryBaby.

NOTE: There are no additional awards for betas, artists, or commenters. Both authors and artists will receive the same ‘2022 Secret Santa Participant’ award. Artists who create banners for other people’s gifts will not be eligible for a participant award. 

Once you sign up, EF Event Mod EllieRose101 will make best case matches from all of the responses, and then reach out to each participant with the penname and story preferences of their giftee. Please remember that this gift-giving is confidential. Don’t share who you have for a giftee until you post your fic! Revealing that information ahead of time will allow demonic Santa to start his spree of terror early, and that would just be a bad time for everyone.

Any member, whether they've previously written a fic on EF or not, is eligible to partake in this event––UNLESS you signed up for last year’s Secret Santa event and did not complete your fic or did not complete your fic by the deadline. Those members will not be eligible to participate this year, but may participate again in 2023.

Please note that bad behavior toward your gifter or giftee, in regards to either the gift you receive or the gift you deliver, will result in a permanent ban from this event for all future years. We wish we didn’t have to say it, but we do.

Any ineligibility will be communicated to you by a Mod, if it becomes relevant. Otherwise, you may assume you are good to go.

Important Dates: 

• Today: Sign-Ups Open (See link, above.)
• 11.59pm site time on Sunday 20th Nov.: Sign-Ups close 
• 22nd & 23rd Nov.: Assignments Distributed
• 1st December: Participants can start posting
• End of 31st December, site time: All gifts must be exchanged. 

No late sign-ups or publishing will be allowed. Leaving a participant giftless will make Spuffy deeply sad, and we can’t have that.

Whether or not you sign-up to participate in the event itself, you can sign-up to be a Secret Santa Rescue Writer! Either choose "yes" on the event sign-up form where it asks, or email EllieRose101 at ssolace@gmail.com and let her know that you'd like to be on the volunteer Rescue Writer list. If she ends up with someone in need, she may reach out to you (by no later than Dec. 16th) to see if you can rescue a gift.

Any questions? Comment below!

Hello EF!

We’re back with more new skins!

First of all, thank you for the lovely reception our artists and new skins received last week. We understand no one likes change and getting used to a different aesthetic can be an uphill battle. As we’ve mentioned in previous posts, one of the goals of the facelift was to help modernize the experience in a small way. We’ve talked before about how old our software is and…seriously, in internet years? We're dinosaurs. The new skins don’t change the functionality, but they do accommodate the current trend in websites, particularly the desktop experience, which has evolved past the broad borders and empty space that defined our previous skins.

Second of all, we want to thank all the members who chimed in last week to let us know what gaps remained in the new skins designs. The member experience is so important to us, and since everything here hinges upon reading and readers’ visual comfort, we were happy to accommodate the needs that were brought to our attention. With that said, we’d like to thank MillennialCryBaby, loveisntbrains_, mcgnagallsarmy, and scratchmeout who reached out to the Mod team following last week's announcement with offers of fresh art to help fill those gaps.

We now have:

• Two skins with a mustard yellow theme (“mr and mrs summers”; “how to train your vampire”)
• Four skins with alternating colors between story lists (“mr and mrs summers”; “what happens at restfield”; “other worlds than these”; “becoming us”)
• One skins with color combinations new to EF (“what happens at restfield”)
• Two neutral skin options (“best night of my life”; “other worlds than these”)
• Two additional blue-themed skins (“primal solarized”; “till the end of the world”)

All skins are live and available for selection. In order to set one of the new skins as your default, visit Edit Preferences under Account Info. 

Here are previews of the skins that have been added since last week. 

• Skin name: Becoming Us
• Banner artist: Irandamay

• Skin name: Best Night of My Life
• Artist: loveisntbrains_

• Skin name: How to Train Your Vampire
• Artist: MillennialCryBaby

• Skin name: Mr. and Mrs. Summers
• Artist: MillennialCryBaby

• Skin name: Other Worlds than These
• Artist: scratchmeout 

• Skin name: Primal Solarized
• Artist: HappyWhenItRains

• Skin name: Till the End of the World
• Artist: scratchmeout 

• Skin name: What Happens in Restfield
• Artist: mcgnagallsarmy

The older skins that we reuploaded last week (not-without-a-fight, smile, and spuffy1) have been removed once more.

Thank you again to our artists and our wonderful membership.

Hey, gang! 

Since launching the Road Trip event and opening it up to art-only submissions, it turns out that our system won't allow the artwork icon to run in conjunction with the challenge icon. So, for artwork-only submissions for events, we’re asking the affected parties to tick the box for the event instead of the one for artwork. This way, all the event subs show up on the event page. 

The Mods will adjust the back-end of the site for event artwork already posted, unless you tell us you’d rather have the art icon than the event one. 

You’ll get the event artist award either way.

Hello, EF!

It’s no secret we have a ton of incredibly talented artists in Spuffy fandom, and as artwork is such a lovely medium for storytelling, the Mods decided to follow the example set by Sunnydale After Dark (thanks, guys!) and amend our submissions to accommodate artwork-only posting. Effective immediately, artists may share artwork as they would a story.

We’re going to demonstrate with a piece of artwork thoughtfully supplied by author and artist, HappyWhenItRains. The title and metadata aren’t hers; she’d come up with something a lot more creative than I have for the purposes of this demonstration. 

Most of you will be familiar with parts of this process, so please feel free to peruse or scroll to your heart’s content. This is just here out of an excess of caution and so artists have a reference guide handy if it is needed. 

Here’s how to add artwork: 

STEP 1: Select the artwork you would like to post.

STEP 2: Upload the image to your account by visiting the Series, Stories, and Challenges panel under Account Info. To accommodate art, the site now permits artwork uploads 1500x1500. We highly recommend you review the sizes to ensure maximum viewer experience.

This will bring you to the image upload panel. Select Upload New Images, which can be found at the bottom of the screen.Once the image is uploaded, it will populate on this table. Grab that URL. It’ll come in handy for the next bit.

STEP 3: Go back to the Series, Stories, and Challenges panel under Account Info. Now you’ll select Add New Story.

STEP 4: Add your artwork details. You will need a title and a summary for your artwork just for the purpose of adding it to the catalog. It doesn’t have to be greatly detailed – just enough that EF members have an idea of what to expect. Please refrain from using solicitous language, same as with story submissions. Likewise, all summaries should be appropriate for general audiences.

STEP 5: Add categories, genres, and warnings as needed. Ensure the proper rating is affixed to every art submission. We have added a couple of new categories and genres to help artists clearly mark which of the submissions aren’t work-appropriate. You will also notice the option to mark your submission as exclusively artwork. This is exactly what it sounds like – the submission should contain nothing but the art itself.

The submission process from here is the same as with story text submissions. You will simply select the artwork icon in the story text box.

This pop-up will appear to take the image’s information. The link you copied earlier will go into the “Search” box.

And that’s it! If you’re a new EF member or haven’t submitted material to the archive before, your submission will not immediately appear on Most Recents until our validation Mod has made the choice to grant you automatic validation. Once it does, your art will be listed among the stories and other artwork supplied by EF’s many talented members. Submissions that contain artwork only will also be denoted with a story icon. This is a permanent fixture designed to help members quickly identify which works on the archive are artwork-only.

What else you need to know:

• The site’s minimum word count has been stripped to accommodate this change.
• All works must be clearly labeled and appropriately rated. Any applicable warnings are also mandatory.
• All works must follow the site’s submission rules. If you have any questions about a piece of art, please reach out to the Mods.
• If you’re interspersing art with textual storytelling, we will not consider that Exclusively Artwork. Exclusively Artwork should be limited to submissions that have no accompanying text. Stories told with both text and pictures should be submitted as usual, with the appropriate categories, genres, and warnings.
• Artists may post single pieces of art or ongoing stories (comics).
• Artwork may be hosted on EF, but we ask that you do not hotlink. This is not a new policy, just a reminder.
• While we have adjusted the size requirements for artwork uploaded to your account, regular story banners must adhere to the existing 920x300 parameters to help keep the Most Recents and story lists orderly.

We have likewise added the following rules for visual media submissions.

• All artwork submissions must adhere to the site’s Spuffy prominence rule. We do not allow Gen Art submissions. We’re sorry, but we have finite hosting space and we are, after all, a Spuffy archive. Therefore all art pieces must be Spuffy-centric.
• That said, for visual media purposes, we do allow solo artwork renderings of Spike or Buffy. They don’t always need to be together, but the piece must remain Spuffy friendly (i.e., No Bangel, Sprusilla, etc.)
• All NSFW artwork pieces must be rated NC-17 or AO (Adult Only) and assigned NSFW Category and Genre tags. These must also be Spuffy only.
• Use appropriate warnings for every art piece.
• Artists are free to link to any artwork that does not meet the Spuffy prominence rule in their profile, as well as in the story notes. However, EF is not the place to host any such artwork. Any non-Spuffy artwork stored on our server will be deleted at our discretion.

Please don’t worry if you make a mistake or skip a step in adding artwork. The system will catch most, and the Mods will catch the rest. Innocent mistakes will absolutely not be penalized. The Mods will contact you if there is an issue with your submission to let you know what it was and how to fix it, if it’s something we haven’t already handled on our end. We anticipate there being a few hiccups along the way and we’re here to answer your questions.

And that’s the long and short of it! Thank you again to HappyWhenItRains for letting us use your brilliant artwork in our example. 

Stay tuned for more exciting developments here at Elysian Fields!

Hi EF,

So, as you are all aware, emails from the site over the last few months have waffled between unreliable and nonexistent. Well, last night, some members were reporting issues reaching the site at all (and receiving error messages that specifically said they couldn’t connect to the host), so we contacted the host company to see what was up. They tinkered with something on their end and connectivity was restored…and people started receiving daily digest and story update emails from all the way back in April. This has reinforced our belief that the issues stemmed with the host maintenance update back in March.

What we know so far:

• Adjusting your email update settings won’t have an impact on whether you receive months of backlogged emails. If your site settings in April were to receive updates, you’ll receive updates for April. If the emails continue, the same will be true for May, June, July, and August.
• Emails will be received at the email address that was on file at the time it was initially triggered to send. 
• Emails will be received about stories that are no longer at Elysian Fields.

Based on what we know, we can also safely assume that emails will be received by members whose accounts have since been removed per their request.

As this is a host issue, there’s little the Mod team can do to prevent your inboxes from being inundated. We know this is going to be really annoying and inconvenient, and if we could switch it off, we would. What we are going to do is discuss our options regarding our host provider, because the level of service we’ve received over the last few months has been unacceptable.

Please let us know if you have any questions.

Elysian Fields’ second-ever Mystery Month event is over! Please read to the end for your chance to decide the fate of this event going forward. 

Big congratulations to everyone who took part. In particular: 

• 24 Authors
• 18 Banner Artists
• 21 Beta Readers 

Between them, participating authors wrote 572,061 words across 120 chapters, and 218 members left comments, of which 46 commenters met the requirements for an award. All comments for the event totalled 1076, and the new stories generated for this event received a total of 2146 likes. 

If you’re yet to check out any of the brand new challenge fics, you can FIND THEM ALL HERE.

Many, many thanks to everyone who took part, in whichever way you contributed. All participating authors, betas, artists, and commenters should now have the relevant awards on their profiles. If you seem to be missing one, or anything else seems not quite right, please drop us a line at ssolace@gmail.com

Originally, this was going to be the last EF Mystery Event year, to be replaced with another event (replaced, because adding new events at this point would be overkill, we think). But the reception and feedback we received during the event made us reconsider, and we decided that you, the members, should tell us if you'd like the Mystery Event to continue with a few modifications, or if you'd instead be interested in the event we were going to launch in its place: Drabble Mania.

Drabble Mania would go as follows: members will be able to suggest more fic prompts, and then authors who sign up will be issued a prompt at random, for which they’ll write a one-shot of up to 1,000 words. (Drabbles are defined elsewhere as stories 100 words or under, but our archive says they count up to the 1k mark.)

Please VOTE HERE for which event you’d like to see happen next summer. 

**UPDATE** You had your say and the Google Form is now closed for further responses. Going forward, we will be alternating the new event with bringing back Mystery Month. Thank you to all who voted!

For week three of mystery month, there are two options: 

• Quote Prompt: A 1990s Slogan (as suggested by Inevitablethief) –– Examples linked here: https://bestlifeonline.com/1990s-commercials/
• Trope Prompt: Buffy is a closet punk fan (as suggested by Blackmysteria)

The window for posting second chapters closes at 11.59pm site time on Thursday 14th, and third chapters can be posted from 00.01am on Friday 15th.

Please remember to include your chapter end notes detailing how you met the prompt.

Also, don’t forget about our commenter challenge! If you write at least 15 comments containing 15 or more words in July, your name will appear on the list linked here and you’ll get a shiny on your profile when the event wraps up. 

Note: Credit for the Spuffy ‘manip’ image we’ve used in the graphic above goes to PaganBaby, as originally shared here: https://www.tumblr.com/blog/view/paganbabymcsmutty/62668642926

Thanks to Passion4Spike for the link!

Here it is, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! [Insert drumroll here.]

The very first prompt for this year’s mystery month is… a choice of three! 

Pick from: 

• Obscure Location Prompt: a Vampire Drag Show (as suggested by Holly)
• Side Character Prompt: Include Willow's parents (as suggested by Tuoshnell)
• Season/Episode-Related Prompt: Someone(s) body swaps (as suggested by The Danish Bird)

To clarify, you DO NOT have to include all of these––but you could, if you really wanted to. 

You can start posting the first chapter of your fics from midnight (site time) on Friday 1st July, and it must be posted (or submitted for validation) by the end of Thursday 7th at the latest. 

***Please note that after July 7th, the option to join the event will be removed. This is a TIMED event with strictly enforced deadlines. If you don’t post your chapter within the posting window, your fic will be disqualified from the event.***

Prompt two will be announced Wednesday 6th July.

For your fic to be included in the official list of qualifying fics, you will need to tick a box that will appear when you go to post your chapter. Doing so will earn you a fun little icon beside your fic title, as displayed in the image below. 

You’ll also need to clarify in your chapter end notes how your chapter matches the prompt, with the relevant quote from your chapter included. Fics that do not have the qualifying prompt listed in the end-notes will be disqualified in real-time from the event. 

If you’ve used a beta or banner artist for your fic, please list them in the story notes at the beginning of your story. (Or tell us if you made your own art, so we know to give you the award.) 

Unlike past EF events, the Mystery Fic-a-Thon has a HARD cap at five chapters. In addition to fulfilling each week’s prompt, all fics MUST be complete by the event’s end in order to qualify for author awards and remain listed as an event fic with the icon. We know this will be difficult for some of you, especially since you don’t know what we’re going to throw at you next week, but it’s part of the challenge. And, we hope, also part of the fun.

Oh, and the special event skin is now live. 

As always, if there are any questions, comment below! 

If you missed the announcement about Mystery Challenge Month, you can read about it in the post linked here. 

If you already know what’s up but wanted a few more details, here is the post for you! 

The image above shows the custom awards for this event, as made by EllieRose101.

Prompt submissions close at midnight (site time*) on Wednesday 22nd––just under 24 hours from when this news post goes live. The link for the Google form is here. Reminder: prompts should be five words or less. 

*Site time can always be found listed under the shoutbox. 

The first prompt will be announced in a further news post on Wednesday 29th June, and you can start posting from 1st July. (The full timeline of the event is detailed in our previous blog post, linked above.) 

On 1st July, a box will appear when submitting a new story. If the story is part of Mystery Month, you tick the box. You’ll also need to copy the relevant part of your fic that meets the prompt into the story notes at the end of your chapter. Mods will be checking up on this, to make sure requirements are met and everyone can get shinies on their profile at the end of the event. 

Fics that are part of the event will appear in a list, will be featured on the main page, and have a little icon appearing beside the fic title to indicate their specialness. 

In the meantime, get your final prompts in. This is your last reminder!
