Your mod has been playing with the tags again

[ruuger]

Just a note from your friendly, tag-obsessed mod that I have replaced the season 8 tag with comic canon tag that includes the Angel: After the Fall and other comics. I have also added tags for all the seasons (in the format of ats: s1, btvs: s5, etc.) that you can start using. If your story is set between seasons, just select the one that best fits (or both, if you feel like it), and for stories outside the series' timeframe, you can still use the old timeframe tags.

If you have some time to kill, go click on your name in the tags list and tag your stories by season. If you've forgotten how to tag your entries, read the instructions here.

And just a reminder that the reason for tagging is that people will find your fic - if someone is looking for long plotty stories to read and clicks the multi-chaptered tag, if your long plotty story is not tagged 'multi-chaptered', they're not going to see it.

Then some statistics, just for fun.

We have 120 members and 141 watchers, and there are currently 400+ stories posted in the community by 60+ writers.

The most popular length for a story is ficlet, 101-1000 words (80 stories). The most popular genre is humour (41 stories).

The most popular characters are:

Spike (66 stories)
Buffy (54 stories)
Xander (41 stories)
Giles (40 stories)
Angel (35 stories)

Ensemble stories are also popular (45 stories).

The characters still completely unwritten include Willy the Snitch, Jenny Calendar, the Immortal, Eve, Hamilton, and Jasmine.

Finally, seeing that the community has been slowing down a bit for the summer, if you know someone who is writing Buffyverse gen and isn't posting here yet, how about pimping the community to them. The more the merrier. And to keep our writers writing and posting, don't forget to leave feedback if you've enjoyed a story.

Thank you :)

While we're on the subject of tags...

My author tag has been misspelled. Can you fix it?

[ruuger]

Done :)

Great new tags :) I haven't been writing much myself yet, but I've had one story spinning in my head for the past six months now and I'll make sure to post it here when I manage to finish.

Thank you. Someone requested a while ago if it was possible to add season tags to the community, and when I had some time to kill, I thought why not :)

Hm ... I'm going to have to do something about that unwritten character list ...

[ruuger]

Please do :D

btw, in case you haven't noticed, looking at the tag list, you are our most prolific writer :)

What -- seriously???

Thank goodness I don't have a life!

But I'm posting stories I've already written -- Lately I've been turning out fanfic much more slowly. Once I'm done with the older ones, everybody else will catch up with me.
