Nahhh, waiting is for fools...I'm a spoiler junkie myself , i know what i'm
talking about...Still, you finding Buffy/Willow while looking for spoilers
is weird...I can't seem to find B/W outside of the lists even when i'm
looking for it (yeah, i'm a little bitter about it...)...

I agree with you ...The B/W community has some of the best writers
around...I mean, when you got authors like Pink Rabbit , Pat Kelly , Janine
, Mad Hamlet , Shyfox and quite a few others writing for this ship you just
KNOW you're bound to see some fantastic fics...As for your writing...there's
always a first time...We'll be looking forward for your fics if you decide
to write...

Buffy wants Willow , as well as Buffy loves Willow , were created with the
intention of serving the B/W fans, so mainly everything pretty much would be
centered about them...But since then quite a few things have changed...We
now even allow the occasional fics centered abround other pairings...Of
course, that has to be done within limits...I think the main word here is
occasional...If all one is going to post is W/T or F/B then there are better
places to do it than here...At least that's what i had in mind when i first
accepted the other pairings...So, what i'm saying is, while we may open a
few exceptions, we're still a B/W list at heart, so that's what we hope to
find here...Aside from this , we're pretty much open to any kind of
discussion, be it B/W related or not...

Hope you have fun on the lists , and don't forget to check our list
archives...'t's like a goldmine in there : )
Once again , welcome to our little group...
