cawthraven (3/12 10:14pm): @sigyn yes, I did say that these kinds of issues should be emailed to us! The apostrophes were still curly, so I fixed it, downloaded the epub, and confirmed it works now.
Sigyn (3/12 06:44pm): @cawthravwn, did thet, now I have no idea how to test it. Should we be doing this somewhere other than the shoutbox?

closetgeek2000 (3/11 02:18pm): Just FYI - I found the second story I was looking for it is "When Slayers Fall by sabershadowkat"
cawthraven (3/11 12:44pm): @sigyn all you have to do is delete any quotation marks or apostrophes that curve and add ones that are straight. “ versus " for instance.
Miri (3/11 12:01pm): @Hannora, you're very welcome!
werehorse (3/11 11:18am): @Shadowcat1315 You're welcome smile

Ctal (3/10 08:09pm): Hello, first time using the shout box bit wondering if anyone knows a fic where to save buffy's life the gang send her back in time but spikes soul goes with her. He calls her Bess when they meet in season 2?
Hannora (3/10 08:05pm): 2/2 It's not 'Let It Burn' or 'Thorn' by Axell nor 'Spirit Indestructible' by Passion4Spike. Thanks for your help
Hannora (3/10 08:02pm): 1/2 Hi all, looking for a S5/S6 fic. Dawn dies instead of Buffy. Buffy shut everyone out save Spike and Tara and Anya who grieve with her. Spuffy manages Joyce's Gallery and Faith comes back and attack them 'cause the Scoobies told her Buffy had gone rogue. Later Spuffy get married in Vegas.
honeygirl51885 (3/10 07:33pm): Buffy premiered 28 years ago today!! party

Event Announcement: April Challenge Month 2025

It’s almost that time of year again!

For the month of April, EF will once again be running our Challenge Month event. Your task––should you choose to accept it––is to respond to challenges issued to our site by your fellow members (see here). You don’t have to complete the fic or art by the end of the month, just post the first installment between midnight on April 1st and 23.59 on April 30th (site time). 

You can respond to as many challenges or as few as you want––so long as you didn’t issue them yourself! 

If you find a challenge that mostly speaks to you but you would like to change an element of it, we recommend that you contact the person who issued said challenge and ask for their permission/blessing.

2024: A Retrospective

Hello EF! In case you haven’t heard, it is somehow, inexplicably, 2025. That’s right, we’ve completed another journey around the sun together. And as is apropos at the end of a year and the start of a new one, we wanted to take a moment to reflect on what we have accomplished over the last 12 months as a community, as well as all the stuff your mostly benevolent Mods have been doing to improve your overall experience.

We’ll start with what the admin team has accomplished so we can save the best (that’s you guys and your accomplishments) for last. Over the last year, we:

  • Added even more gorgeous site skins right out of the gate, increasing the variety of options as well as artist representation on the site
  • Successfully completed EF’s second mini-event, Monster Mash, and had a ton of fun doing it
  • Shepherded in the...

Update on New Warnings and Tag Clean Ups

Hey everyone,

After listening to some feedback from y’all, we have made some amendments to the changes we rolled out December 30, 2024. Thanks to everyone who reached out with comments, questions, and suggestions, as your input helps us make the best possible decisions for our members and the site.

First, in order to better allow readers to find stories that have the content they want, we will be reinstating the Baby/Kid Fanworks category to cover stories where these are major themes, and expanding it to include kids as well as babies. The new definition is:

Baby/Kid Fanworks: Works which prominently feature pregnancy and/or babies and/or raising children

We are not removing any of the new warnings, so please note that if you post something in this category, you will need to include all appropriate warnings as well. This may feel redundant, but after listening to concerns, we feel that this combination of a category and the warnings offers the best option for allowing people to opt-in when...
