Community Profile

Thos community is the twin sister of bloodclaim over at LJ. If you cross-post to both communities, please put a note to that effect in your headers. Thanks!

As you can probably guess from the interests, this is a community for those of us who are obsessed by slashfic starring Spike and Xander of BtVS & AtS fame.

If anyone is interested in beta-reading, please sign up here with a brief description of your strengths: punctuation, grammar, Spike-voice, etc.

Take a moment to check out the many useful links available on The Resources Page.

If you don't want to maintain two flists but don't want to miss out on any new Spander, you can subscribe to bloodclaim_at_lj_feed (each BC@LJ post delivered to your DW flist) or bc_updates_at_lj_feed (a twice-weekly collation of all BC@LJ posts delivered to your DW flist).

Acceptable Posts

1. S/X fic (behind lj cuts); links to S/X fic on other websites and/or journals. Please do not link to posts in f-locked journals or members-only communities.

2. S/X centered threesomes and moresomes are allowed so long as appropriate warnings are posted.

3. Questions/comments/recommendations concerning S/X fic.

4. S/X art - icons, manips, layouts, headers, friends only banners, cover art, etc - must be put behind lj cuts. The only allowed exceptions are icon posts, where two or three teaser icons can remain outside the cut so that people know whether or not they want to see the rest.

5. Fic searches so long as you are looking for S/X.

6. Beta requests for your S/X fic.

7. Research help - need to know which ep contained a certain scene? How long Spike stayed in the Basement of Doom? Ask here.

8. Any other S/X-related thing you can think of.


If you're not sure that your post fits any of these criteria, please email me and ask. Any non-relevant posts will be deleted at the mod's discretion.

Rules

1. Make sure your work is clearly rated using either the US or UK system, or something simple like 'Adult', 'Teen' or 'All', so nobody reads, by mistake, something they shouldn't.

2. Warnings. These should be posted where appropriate, eg, for femmeslash, rape, graphic het, underage, kinks (daddy!kink, BDSM, etc), deathfics and anything else that you think might be someone else's squick. Also, in the case of artwork, you should at least put NSW (Not Safe for Work) when there is partial or full nudity.

3. A link to previous chapters needs to be included in each new post. Adding your fic to your Memories or tagging by story makes this easy. Thanks!

4. Headers also help people keep track of which fic is which, and lets people know whether or not they want to read it. The list below suggests the sort of headers you might want to include in your fic posts:

        Author:
        Title:
        Chapter:
        Pairing: Spike/Xander
        Rating:
        Concrit: by email please/in comments/no
        Disclaimer:
        Warnings/Squicks:
        Summary:
        Previous chapters:
        Notes:
        Beta(s):
        Graphics: (size, and artist)

5. The only 'hell no!' rule I will make at the moment is about Spuffy. Anyone posting Spuffy or links to Spuffy, without first gaining my permission by email, will be shot on sight. This includes S/X/B. Just because Xander is in the bed too doesn't mean it's not Spuffy!
