Once again, it took me all damn day (because I'm slow, badly organized and indecisive) - and once again it was worth it. TBT5 is one of the very best ways I know of in this fandom to discover works I've missed otherwise. And it's fun to see what other people come up with! F.ex.
snogged posted a recs list of "remix" fanfics - how cool and clever is that?
And at the risk of sounding like a broken record: the range of work that is rec'd there - hell, the sheer volume of material I'm having to sift through just to cut down to "top 5" this or that in any medium - is proof-positive that this fandom is not dying. I know I wasn't there "back in the day", or back when everyone was scratchin' and fightin' over the comics. But I've participated in a "dying fandom", i.e. dead and flatlined within five years: no more vids, fics, no discussion or creativity. I know from a dead fandom, and the Buffyverse, darlings, ain't it.
Now go and share some love, pretty please.
