“Firing canon when it doesn’t suit since 2022.”

I am an Elysian Fields administrator, focusing on tech support, Discord moderation, and ensuring stories have appropriate content warnings.

I had a slightly weird road to Spuffy. I watched S1 live in 8th grade and thought it was too dissimilar to the movie and wrote it off (despite all my friends chattering about it before school the day after it aired all through high school). Then in my 20s a friend made me watch Once More with Feeling and I was hooked on Spuffy. I wound up watching the show straight through for the first time in 2013 and then again during the pandemic. And then I suddenly started craving Spuffy fic in April of 21 and haven't looked back since. And then somehow I started writing it? That was definitely not planned.

Anyway, hope you enjoy!
