Things I like about "Buffy" and the "Buffy" fandom: an alphabet poem

[thenewbuzwuzz]

a.k.a. Snowflake Challenge #9: Promote at least one canon that you adore

(doing this in half-assed rhyme made it less daunting)

Edited because I misspelled "Giles" the wrong way.



A's for all-penguin AU (do *you* have one?)
B is for Buffyspeak, wordplay, and puns.


C is for closed canon (well, I mean mostly).
D is for depth behind high school and ghosties.

E is for existentialism, the fight without end.
F is for femslash, but also for friends.

G is for girls and their strength and their wit.
H is for history (this fandom has it).

I is for internet. There's a demon in there!
J is for Jeeves... it's "Giles"? Whatever.

K is for Kennedy, not a bad chick.
L is for literature (that's some great fic).

M is for metaphors. Myth for the win!
N is for nerds. It's the 90s, we're in!

O is for Once More With musical numbers.
P is for people, the fans and the characters.

Q is for, bi the way, everyone's queer.
R's for redemption arcs arcing through years.

S is for - who did you think it would be?
T is for trope-breaking, whimsical glee.

U is for URLs gathered neat in a list.
V is for vampires who know how to kiss.

W is for Willow. Her fashion? Ideal.
X is for Xanders - both of them real.

Y is for youth and the trials of growing.
Z is for imperfection and the cracks in canon where stories sprout.

Nice one! I continue to be amazed at people like you, who can write so inventively in a language other than the one they were born into.

[thenewbuzwuzz]

Awww, thank you! :)

To be fair, it's super easy to practice English in particular and find reference materials for it - it's everywhere! :D (Also, I did start studying it when I was 6, and there was a special thing in high school where some of my subjects were taught in English. It's less easy for people whose parents haven't made such good life decisions for them early on.)

S is for - who did you think it would be?
