Tsunami of Polls #1 : Any interest in a comm devoted to Buffy and the women of the Buffyverse?

[red_satin_doll]

#1 - Thank you to whomever gifted me with a temporary paid account last month. Now I can create polls! Oh wonderful Anonymous Benefactor, you have no idea what you have unleashed upon this fandom.

#2 - Thanks also the the lovely velvetwhip for coming up with the insanely awesome title/tag phrase "tsunami of polls" and allowing me to snag it.

***************

The other day I was having a conversation with wickedbish in which I may have mentioned that most fandoms and fandom activity, in my experience, are focused primarily on the male characters. I assumed this was common knowledge. Except that he didn't know that. Because, you see, Ryan's favorite character is Willow (see #2 in his list of "13 Witches I Fucking Love"); he still mourns Tara (as do I; shared grief is comforting) and Buffy is one of his heros. The Gift has convinced him to not commit suicide "so many times". He's all about the ladies, bless.

You know what they say about "assuming".

Oops.

 Then clockwork_hart1 (Lucy) popped into the conversation and in her brilliant, enthusiastic way suggested the idea of a comm dedicated to Buffy, the other women in the 'verse and their interrelationships - complete with a name (Summers Blood) and a banner (she's working on it - is there no end to the young woman's talents?) and three-part harmony. What that might actually look like or what interest there would actually be in such a thing was a matter of conjecture. So I'm channeling my inner Willow (Research Gal) for my very first poll.

What say you, Gentle Reader? Based just on the title of this post, you probably know who you are and how you stand.

(And as this is my first poll, please let me know if it functions ok. And I apologize for the wonky formatting. The LJ instructions for poll-making are vague and confusing at best. So says I.)

Butting in to say that Fag Ends is not just about fics, we accept meta and art, but fic is all we can get people to do.

Really? I have read some very good meta that were done back in the fall, but I assumed it was a fic site because that's all I was seeing, I had no idea you accepted other formats. I haven't ever written truly Spuffy fic...

I have done some Spuffy icons and artwork recently but it would have to match up with a prompt, correct?

[bogwitch.livejournal.com]

They would have to be 'inspired by' a prompt, the rule that applies is this one:

6. Ideally, all work should be freshly created in response to the prompts, but it won't be handbags at dawn if not. We'll just pretend we didn't notice, okay?

We take fanfics and meta up to 1000 words in length, vidlets of one minute or less, fanmixes of up to five songs, all still artwork and picspams/gifspams of up to eight images.

We do have a sister comm, sb_ashtray, that takes everything that doesn't fit our rules, either its too long, another pairing, too late for the current month's prompts etc.

Oh, that's interesting, I didn't know that. Though admittedly, I'm not a very strong Spike/Buffy shipper, I tend to only consume the occasional fic/video. ;)
