Here's a great fic by fenderlove. So far it features Gunn and Spike, who are attempting to make a deal for Fred's resurrection with the new owners of the former W&H L.A. branch -- a gleefully bizarre family reminiscent of The Hills Have Eyes, but with a little more class and book larnin'. She's got three chapters posted right now, but ch. 4 should be up any day now, and that's where the Spike/Fred romance begins to kick in!

Thank you, Skytte! I'm working on the next installment as we speak.
I've got a question for the group:
Do you know if any Fred fans here or elsewhere have asked -- or are currently asking -- Joss or IDW to bring Fred back to life in the comic books? I've been pleading with IDW since the "After the Fall" comics, but I don't know if I'm acting alone, or if others are asking the company for her return also.
I'd ask Joss, too, but I don't have any way of getting in touch with him.

Is that the "Spike & Fred: A Different Path" video by DarlaProduction, aka Mscotstar? (I'm not a member of BuffyTube, but I've seen it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROhDj3dNRIY ) OMG, isn't it the most amazing piece of work? Her editing, splicing, photomanipping, and storytelling are all so skillful that it looks as if this was how Mutant Enemy actually filmed it! Mscotstar is truly our hero. ETA: Grrrr, YouTube's removed it from their site. I'm so glad you posted the BuffyTube link to it; I'll add that to the list on Page 1 of this thread! (And I'll join BuffyTube, too!)

Glad to see you around, sockmonkeyhere! *waves* Howdy! Well, I thought #6 was going to be the conclusion of my Spike/Fred "Cycle" Series, but that's turned out to require a whole 'nuther chapter. So here's #6, and I'm still working on #7: Armistice Day by sockmonkeyheresockmonkeyhere.livejournal.com/44533.htmlAtS post-"Not Fade Away" rated PG-13

I think I'm going to try, and write a Spred fic soon. ^.^ I've been writing fanfiction a lot lately.
I'll be sure to post it here, if I do!

Here’s a lovely new ficlet in which Fred visits Spike and his wounded hands in the hospital: Blessing by powerofthebookpowerofthebook.livejournal.com/81337.htmlAtS season 5 (post-"Damage") rated PG ficlet Also, evangelin1202 has created a boatload of Spred banners, icons, videos, and music fanmixes. She’s a very talented artist, and I know you’ll enjoy her work. A couple of the vids will require joining a site in order to view them, but membership is quick and easy – and quite worth it! Here’s a link to her Live Journal posts that contain her Spike/Fred material: evangelin1202.livejournal.com/tag/fred/spike

~More Spredfic Recs~ ****************** These first three are a couple of years old; I only recently discovered them. A wee bit of warning about "The Mad Ones": it's got Spike behaving similarly to the way he did in the Destiny episode -- overcome with lust -- but thankfully in this Spred version, he's fond of the object of his lust and he treats her with more respect and affection than in the Sparmony version. (Also, in this version he remembers to unzip his pants.) Bit of Bubbly by claudia6913community.livejournal.com/fandeyth/26143.htmlAtS alternate reality season 5 rated R ficlet untitled by lodessalodessa.livejournal.com/140215.htmlAtS season 5 rated G drabble The Mad Ones by eyebrowofdoomcommunity.livejournal.com/remixredux08/50389.htmlAtS season 5 alternate reality for “Destiny” rated NC-17 ficlet ************** This next one is brand-new, and includes a satirical wink at the over-the-top WTFness of BtVS comic book #34 ;D (the Flying Sexcapades issue.) It's also absolutely adorable: Spike and Fred share a joint and get a bit buzzy. The Physics of Flying High by powerofthebookpowerofthebook.livejournal.com/82504.htmlAtS season 5 (post-"Damage") rated R ficlet This ficlet is only the second I've ever found in which Fred and Spike get high together. The first one was evenstar_estel's Dancing Around a Romance, written just before the beginning of AtS season 5. (Go to community.livejournal.com/spred/42759.html and scroll down to section II.) It's interesting that in both cases, written years apart and by two different authors, StonerSpred is depicted the same way: goofy and funny and sweet, and with a languid and believable erotic/romantic mutual attraction. ************** The other new one is sistercuervo's multi-chapter fic Ashes and Sparks, a post-"Not Fade Away" story that is NOT based on the IDW comic books. This fic gives us Live Fred as well as Illyria! \o/ chapters 1-4: www.livejournal.com/tools/memories.bml?user=sistercuervo&keyword=Ashes%20and%20Sparks&filter=allchapter 5: sistercuervo.livejournal.com/24730.html*************** ETA on Apr.19th: I've posted the concluding installment of the Spike/Fred ficlets collection I've dubbed The Cycle Series. Here's the link to that ficlet: sockmonkeyhere.livejournal.com/46696.htmland a link to the whole series: ( sockmonkeyhere.livejournal.com/19155.html

What a great manip, Moscow! I love the scratched look along its edges; sort of like an old, scratched tintype photo. It's one of my favorite scenes, too; their playful side was so sweet, and I wish we had gotten to see more of it.

Here's a fun and silly graphic project. Choose a picture -- this is one of my favorite Spike & Fred images from After the Fall, although I wish the characters looked a little more recognizable: Then go here and follow the instructions: www.glassgiant.com/romance/Aaaaaand...TAH DAH! Instant romance novel cover!

Whoa, that's kinda cool. Though, they should allow more space on titles, tags and author lines. Perhaps they also have an action/general version? That said, I tried it out, making a cover to my very first and successful romance fanfic. And yes, it is a Draco/Hermione one Edit: Hell, I went ahead and made two more covers for the trilogy lol

Yep, the drawback is that they only allow a limited amount of spaces and letters. The only book cover they have is that romance novel one, but they've also got a "make your own jumbotron billboard" that could be used as an ad for your action fanfics: www.glassgiant.com/make_pictures.phpOr you could also alter the romance cover by inserting action photos and text, and just ignore or photoshop out the little heart & arrow in the corner. *g* That said, I tried it out, making a cover to my very first and successful romance fanfic. And yes, it is a Draco/Hermione one Worked out well! I like the blue cover with the colors of the characters. Did you draw the artwork yourself? (I wish I could draw; I can barely make stick figures!)

Sadly no, I didn't draw them. Someone else did, I loved them and saved them. I can't really draw all that great, which is a shame, cuz I used to love to draw
