[Fanfic Recs: BtVS -- Buffy, Doctor Who -- Rose]: Ficathon Masterlists

[fallingtowers.livejournal.com]

I just thought I might point out two ficathons that were running in 2007 and that will probably be of interest to those watching this community. The implicit goal of both fic exchanges was to "rescue" the characters of Buffy Summers (from Buffy -- well, duh) and Rose Tyler (from Doctor Who) from neglicence and romance and let them be all heroic and adventurous.

My favourite story from the Rose Tyler: Girl Adventurer Ficathon at rose_lives was probably livii's Go Places, but the whole list is well worth checking out.

For ruuger's Buffy Is the Hero, Damnit! Ficathon, likadeuce wrote the marvellous ensemble piece Four Times Buffy Surprised Someone, which has a wonderful future in store for her. But shapinglight's Road Trip is a real hoot, too!

Thanks so much for the rec!

I've been swamped since the beginning of the month, so I haven't checked out this comm yet, but several people have commented on the story and mentioned that the rec was here. So I wanted to come thank you -- I like your characterization of these ficathons, too.

You're very welcome! I really loved both of these ficathons and the stories they produced, and I hope that your fic gets even more readers because it deserves them all.
