There is a thread on usenet in alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative regarding the state of Buffy, The Vampire Slayer and Angel fanfiction. JLB, the originator of the thread, thinks that fanfiction regarding the later seasons of Buffy and Angel is “pretty barren.”
I have to agree with him. I think the situation is actually worse – I think Buffy fanfiction as a whole is dieing. Other than Regertz’s stuff, which I don’t read, I don’t see much new stuff being posted on alt.tv.buffy-v-slayer.creative, which has always been my go-to source for good fanfiction. Ryan Kinkor has given up on Black and White. Doyle Investigations hasn’t had a new episode in a year and a half. The last episode of the Trick Chronicles was updated over a year ago.
I am, admittedly, cherry-picking my favorite series and that there are some exceptions (M. Scott Eiland comes to mind). Still, I have been following Buffy fanfiction for about 4 years and it seems to me that there is less fanfic and more importantly, less quality fanfic being written than a couple of years ago.
