wisdomeagle is my hero. She went above and beyond in helping get the masterlist up to date, and everything should now be in order.

( What's new (or rather what was missed in previous updates) )
Stray comments were deleted from the fic post. The following two fics were moved to the overspill board:
Buffybot/Faith: frogfarm
Cordelia/Xander: vampedvixen

And the new top ten:

( Ten most written characters )

It looks like we're currently on 703 different pairings written. Gosh, as the Mayor would no doubt say.

After several ages, the masterlist has been updated. However, I need some help in getting it properly up to date.
- I need somebody to check off the written pairings with the requested ones and tell me what needs to be removed from the second list. mucho thanks to wisdomeagle
- moving between four or five computers all summer, some of the notifications have gone astray. Someone, or several someones, needs to check the main fic post for fics that aren't linked.
Please comment if you can help (to ensure people aren't duplicating efforts). You'll have my eternal gratitude.

Today's update, and the new top ten...

( New written )

( New requested )

4. Faith (61)
5. Angel (58)
6. Wesley (52)
7. Dawn (50)

( Crossovers written )

( Pairings requested )

( Crossover pairings requested )

( Update: 26 new ficlets, by my count )

Also, I'd like to add a reminder that it's good if people could add even one requested pairing when they're submitting a fic. I know it's hard coming up with new ones but we're getting a lot of dead threads.

Since people were wondering, I ran the masterlist through a frequency counter:

( The 20 most written characters )

( And the 20 most requested )

A mere 20 Faith pairings not involving Spike would put her in the #1 spot! ;)

Don't make me bring out the pie-charts.

I'll have to go through the threads to check for any misplaced feedback or double comments that may have slipped through the net, but the fic post is currently at 503 comments. (More than) halfway there, well done everyone!

By the way, I hope to do a New Year's stats post. Last time Giles, Buffy, Angel and Spike came out on top, but I have a hunch that certain other characters could make stronger showings this time out, so if you want your favourite character to enter 2005 as the Polyamory King/Queen, get ficleting...

(I know it's early, but I'll be away tonight and I don't want to fall behind again. Welcome to the new players that have been cropping up, and keep 'em coming, everybody *g*)

(Update is forthcoming. Today, I hope.)
