Still a few hours left to add your rec list to Buffyverse Top 5 Classic Edition!

But it all turns into a pumpkin when the clock chimes midnight There are still about six hours left to post your rec lists at buffyversetop5 Classic Recs 2014!  (Right now it's 3:51pm EST time in the US, if that helps.)

I was certain I'd missed it entirely - AGAIN - so I wandered over to check out what I missed and found that there's still a little window of opportunity left.  So many fantastic recommendations, I can't begin to name my favorites.

FYI: Every time someone posts a rec and says "but everyone in the fandom has read it" I have honestly been able to reply "I HAVEN'T."

I have major issues with both but turning them into outright monsters is weak.

Exactly - and it misses the point by a mile.

I've come to see it as deflective writing. If they don't create a major problem by making them over-the-top bad guys, then the writer has to acknowledge/deal with the actual problems of the relationship. Which they don't want to do because I think they are aware that the ship is rather unsound structurally.

It's superannoying 'cause it makes me defend Riley sometimes. I hate that. I swear if I see one more 'all they had was boring missionary sex, it's a FACT' comment, I'm gonna start making caps.
