In honor of Giles's favorite American holiday, we are pleased to announce Giles Shorts' very first...
On October 31st, for one day only, we are lifting our (admittedly lax) word restriction to host Halloween-related BtVS fics of all lengths. They can be creepy. They can funny. They just have to be in keeping in the spirit of Halloween. Bonfire Night and Mischief Night fics are also welcome as well. (Giles is British, after all!)
Chose any characters or time period that you like. Pre-series, post-series, episode-related, canon-divergent, comic-verse, completely AU, anything goes! (Just remember Halloween wasn't really a thing in the UK until recently and it's still not celebrated to the same extent it is stateside.) We do ask that works that are longer than 100 words at least feature a cameo from Giles. And yes, that means that 100-word drabbles featuring any Buffyverse characters with or without Giles are welcome.
Just remember you only have until 11:59pm Pacific Standard Time October 31, 2017 before the magic ends and we go back to our regularly scheduled programming.
