Salutations, patrons! This week we’re doing a crossover! In this case somebody decided to cross Buffy: The Vampire Slayer and Buffy The Vampire Slayer!
You read that right. They crossed the source material with itself, which sounds really crazy but there’s actually a reason behind it. A reason that’s still pretty crazy. See, they’ve crossed the Movie with the TV Series, which seems kind of redundant, and it is, but the writers/producers of the show could never really agree whether the two canons were separate or not.
In fact, they are mostly separate since the Buffy canon follows the original movie screenplay and not the movie itself, which diverged significantly on several points. So a crossover of the two sorta makes sense, but also really doesn’t because so few people have seen the actual screenplay or read the comic based on it (Origins). Not to mention the key events, such as burning down the school gym, getting expelled, the death of Buffy’s first watcher, etc were incorporated into the movie despite the other glaring differences.
Franky, I’d bet the only difference that’s likely to become pertinent to this fic is the existence of “Pike,” Buffy’s romantic interest from the movie as played by Luke Perry. His existence is not canon.
Hmm.
*Checks the Fic’s character tags*
[Buffy S., Pike]

Let’s check out the summary.

It’s Wednesday again, so let’s see what the world of fanfiction has for us this week!
TV Shows > Murder She WroteThe sudden death
Oh… oh gods, it’s a Murder She Wrote fic.
For those who weren’t around in the hayday of the whodunnit-of-the-week TV series, an era that lasted from about 1955 to 1995 and saw such prodigious names as Perry Mason, Matlock, Twin Peaks, and Columbo, Murder She Wrote was kind of an ABC Family version of the whodunnit. The show starred Angela Lansbury as Jessica Fletcher, a middle-aged widow who turned to writing murder mysteries after the death of her husband as a way to cope. Unfortunately for her, much like Poirot, murder just seems to follow her around and she spends an inordinate amount of her authorial life getting to the bottom of all the bodies that seem to show up wherever she goes (a phenomena that created many fan theories about her involvement with them).
The show itself was the absolute definition of the genre, with every episode featuring a different murder or string of murders to be solved by the main character or one of her collection of friends (as happened later in the show’s run when Lansbury needed to take some time off). Unlike the more gritty modern whodunnits that became the standard in the last twenty years, Murder She Wrote took a more lighthearted approach with a main character filled with small-town charm and self-confident nosiness, a supporting cast of characters who were predominantly Southern despite the show’s main location being in Maine, and whimsical music highlighting how pretty well absurd everything was.
And then some people decided to write fanfiction about it.
And with that mini-dump behind us, let’s head into the summary!

It’s that time of the year again, Patrons! It’s Spooptoberfest!
This year we’re starting things off with a bit of nostalgia: the good ol’ Buffy Halloween nothing fic!
Complete with a grammar error in the title and a misspelling of Halloween in the summary. I’m giddy with excitement!

Hello again, Librarians and patrons. I’m here, sheltering in place with David, the Czech Exchange Student-
David: Halo.
-and Conan the Snakebarian-
Conan: Sss!
-for the fifth and final installment of everyone’s favorite BBC Sherlock songfic!
*crickets*
So let’s go ahead and snip the title-
*snip*
-the summary-
*snip*
-and the song lyrics-
*snip*
-that the author refuses to leave off of each chapter.
Chapter 10
I may look like nothing to you,
But I can fight and I will fight
That’s the opposite of what has been happening in this fic.
Anyway, let’s get to the recap that the author also refuses to remove from every. Single. Chapter.

Hello again, patrons and Librarians! I’m Em Kay, hunkering here, snackless, in the loaner riff chamber with Conan-
Conan: Ssss!
-and David.
David: Gratings.
Today we’re hopefully going to tackle three chapters of our lovely songfic, since two of them are very short.
Let’s cut right to the recap, shall we?
Last time, Sherlock and John had a sleepover at EmmySue’s palace and Daddy McEvil made EmmySue even more of a D.I.D. because Sherlock didn’t fall for her the first time.
To the fic!
Title: My Heart Beats For Love
Still a bad title for anything.
Then there’s the summary-

-and song lyrics-
*snip*
-which leaves us with less than a page of actual chapter.
