Welcome! This list is for fiction related to "Buffy The Vampire Slayer," both the TV series and the movie. To ensure that we all get to enjoy as much fiction as possible, please adhere to the following guidelines, and please save them for future reference.
1. Fiction should have Buffy characters in it and clearly be related to Buffy. Crossovers are great, and expected, but general vampire/monster stories that aren't in the Buffy universe and don't use Buffy characters belong somewhere else.
2. Discussion of posted fiction is permitted onlist. Please put "DISCUSS" in your s*bject line. Requests for missing story parts should go directly to the author, and not be posted to the list.
Discussion that is not related directly to the fiction should go over to the general Buffy list. Discussion of fiction is expected to follow common netiquette guidelines and use PG-13 language.
3. No advertising of <any> items or services, Buffy related or not, and no posting of non-story items such as .gifs, sound files, etc..
No attached files of <any> kind-- if your mailer makes your fiction into attached files, you need to find another way to get it to the list.
4. If you're writing a story and including advance information on a new episode, and you're posting your story earlier than the national viewing time, please:
**Mark the post as a "spoiler" in the s*bject header.
**Leave about twelve lines (blank or with non-spoiler info) at
the top of the post.
This ensures that anyone who doesn't like knowing about an episode ahead of time is "protected." :) The blank space is for people whose mailers automatically open up the next piece of mail, without giving them a chance to see "spoiler" in the header.
Spoiler warnings are not necessary after the start of the episode's national viewing time, which is currently set at 9 p.m. Mondays, Eastern Standard Time. Spoiler warnings are not necessary for reruns.
5. This list is absolutely NOT for erotic fiction. <Nothing> stronger than sexually PG-13 material is to be posted to the list under any circumstances. A story may be R rated for violence or language, however.
If you have a question about something's suitability for posting, feel free to ask one of the listowners. Sending sexually explicit material will get you immediately and permanently uns*bscribed. No exceptions.
6. By s*bscribing and/or posting to this list, you acknowledge that Buffy the Vampire slayer and all characters associated with either the televised series or the motion picture were created by Josh Whedon and are owned by Mutant Enemy productions, Kuzui Productions, Sandollar Productions, and 20th Century Fox. All stories posted to this list are for entertainment purposes only, are not sold for profit of any kind, and are not intended to infringe on any copyrights.
7. When posting stories to the list, please follow the following formatting guidelines
- --No story parts longer than 250 lines - --No lines longer than 75 characters
- --Turn off your "smart quotes"-- many readers receive these as garbage or weird symbols
- --Put the title of the story in the s*bject header, indicate if it's a multipart story, and if so what part this is. Example: Buffy Meets Godzilla (2/65) indicates that this post is part two of a 65 part story.
8. If a story is rated "R" for language/violence, indicate this in an introduction. For example, "There's a really bloody fight scene at the end of this part" or "if you don't like dismemberment, stop reading now!" If there's <any> chance that someone might be disturbed by something in your story (even if it's not rated R) please include some kind of warning up front.
9. And last, but not least, the listowners reserve the right to deny s*bscription (new, renewed, or continued) to the list for any individual(s).
PLEASE NOTE: not following any or all of these rules will get you the following:
**First offense: offender is uns*bscribed for one week.
**Second offense: offender is uns*bscribed to the Buffyfic list for a minimum of three months.
**If the offender returns and does it again, they're offlist permanently.
As noted above, posting sexually explicit material is the exception -- you go straight to permanent uns*bbing.
Again, welcome! If you have any questions about these rules, please contact either one of us offlist. If you have s*bscription problems or questions, the fastest way to get help is to e-mail one of us at the addresses below, <not> at the kirby@xmission.com addy which is the "official" e-mail owner of the list.

Feedback: Please!! this is my first fanfic so it would be helpful.
Distributor: Anya please. Anyone else, ask.
Disclaimer: The story is mine, the characters are not. Except for the ones i made up.
I know it has been a while, but I have been so darned busy with school and soccer. My first game is Dec. 3, Wednesday, so wish me luck. I'll try to get the other parts out soon. To all those on the BBETA list, if you don't remember the rest of this story, you can find it at Anya's site, or email me and i'll send it to you.
And now.....
Part 8
Buffy's plan would work. All she and Angel had to do was clear their minds of everything and the door would be opened. The key to this was time.
Kelson had placed them in a tunnel of time when he had started to drain her. Buffy and Angel had to combine the power of their minds to get their bodies out of the time tunnels and back in the library.
The way the time tunnels worked, as Buffy recalled from her dream, was tricky. To get there, movement and thought had to stop completely. This could usually be achieved by an over powering force driving the will out of a person. Thus achieved by Kelson's attempt to rempve Buffy's strength and keep it for his own.
However, he had made a mistake by putting Angel under his spell as well. Angel's emotional and physical power, together with Buffy's, was enough to completely release Kelson's hold on them and sent them to the time tunnel's, with their power still intact. That would be enough to get them back. The tunnels were not near Sunnydale, nor were they far away. They were a suspension, someplace that existed only in one's mind, or in Buffy's case, one's nightmares.
So Buffy and Angel held hands, closed their eye's and dreamed.
* * *
Xander felt strange. The feeling of evil he had felt before was growing weaker, and a happiness was overcoming him. He hoped this meant Buffy was okay. As for Angel, well, he guessed it was alright if everyone's favorite vampire lived.
Xander wanted to go to the library and see what was going on, but he doubted that he would be able to justify to his mother going to school, of all places, at two o' clock in the morning. Oh, well, that was what they had invented windows for. He opened the window and was on the ground and on his way within a minute.
End part 8
FEEDBACK. It is necessary. Really.
