Psst... Go look at the new community!

summer_of_spike is going to be a two month posting frenzy of Spike goodies, with a different person posting each day throughout the months of July and August, and you need to sign up now so there will be plenty of Spike (preferably Spander) for everyone to see. ;o)

To quote the opening post: "...fic, essays, icons, videos, wallpapers, banners – if you created it and it’s about Spike, we want to see it!"
Though it must be original work, not previously released.

I've signed up, and I hope many of you will too. They need at least 60 contributors to make it work, so get your thinking caps on!

A Celebratory Sonnet for Willa

A Spandercentric Sonnet for Willa,
in celebration of 100 Slashed Sonnets.

First came that giant bed which would sleep five,
Spike, Xander, Angel, Doyle, and Wes, at last.
And then the cosy!baby!verse went live,
And Katie, Spike's dead heart did own right fast.
The dreams came next, and they did cause such fright,
Then next the split!verse; Xander's love so false.
And finally the pierced!verse, so right;
Where Xander and his Spike both have a pulse.
A hundred down and fifty four to go,
For once I wish that Shakespeare had writ more.
What will we read when done, I do not know,
These sonnets will be missed and that's for sure.
Please, Willa, darling, don't forget to write.
A thousand crying fans is such a sight.
