rsadelleIn the Spike/Xander panel, we made a list of authors and fics to read. Here's what I remember, plus some I think I forgot. Please note: These are not all recs. They're mainly just things we thought of. I do realize that other people may have different taste and like things I hated.

darkhavens - I like darkhavens not so much for her fic as for her memories, which contain a whole bunch of other people's fic categorized by type.
tabaqui - I particularly liked "Hero," "Little Runaway," and "Little Runaway 2."
tgray - I liked "Discoveries" for the first 24 chapters full of porn, but then I didn't like her plot as much. "Tangled Hearts," also an all-human AU, is great.
entrenous88, Entre Nous - "Shacking Up" is hilarious, as is "Expecting."
spikedluv - I especially liked "When Visions Come True."
witling - Oh, right. She's okay, but it tends to be rather depressing.
winterlive - Mmm, "Affected."
Wordsmith - Just good. The "Reconstruction," "Restoration," "Reunification" arc is about Spike and Xander after Buffy's death.
Nashmaveric's Viral Recs Meme - A whole bunch of other people's recs.
Jackson - I loved that "Sweet Revenge" had a big emotional scene in the rain, but it's not that great.

snakes_ladders - "No More Snakes And Ladders" by Tabaqui and Reremouse. It seems really slow to me. I made it through 11 or 12 parts, and I haven't gotten back to it since then. It appeared to be heading in a Spike/Xander/Wesley direction.
subtleaddiction - "Letters" by LadyCat and Rubywisp. Very good.
"Modus Vivendi" by Wiseacress. I didn't really like it that much, and I was irritated by her comment that people wanted a happier ending for them so she wrote the sequel, "Ars Moriendi."
"No Pirate on Earth" by Circe. A Pirates of the Caribbean crossover. The resolution to the emotional buildup didn't satisfy me.
ladycat777, LadyCat - Mmm, LadyCat.
reremouse - "28th Day Itch" is good. Hyena Xander who needs Spike to fuck him.
rubywisp, Rubywisp - Good stuff.
secondverse - A lot of people like her. I think she needs to learn to use a paragraph break before I can get far enough to really judge.
camisha - I kind of liked early "Survival Instincts" better than the end, back when it was Spike/Xander/Jamie and all weird and tense.
kimberly_fan - I loved "It's Just a Jump to the Left" and "Late Night Double Feature," and I'm really enjoying "Through the Looking Glass."
spikess - "Gotta Get It" is the thing I was thinking about where Spike's a poet and Xander loves his poetry but doesn't know he's the poet.
dessert_first - I totally forgot her in the panel! She's writing a porn star AU.
Lazuli - Some people really like "Repossession." I liked the concept, but thought the story wasn't that good. I made it probably 30 or so parts in.
"On the Doorstep" by Meg Graham. This appears to be unfinished, but part 15 does exist.
Xander Xtreme - A Xander-centric BDSM archive. Not all Spike/Xander.
othercat - This is in my bookmarks, but I don't remember why.
Te - "Post-Grad" and "Post-Grad II" are classic Spike/Xander fics. I find they don't hold up well after time. I have enjoyed other Te fic I loved back in the day, so this is clearly not just Te issues.
Meagan - I realized it wasn't really odd to hang out with Meagan because we actually do know her from back in the day when she wrote the Roommates series.
eliade, Anna S. - Meagan actually recced Anna S. to me last year, and she's really fabulous.
Mad Poetess - Particularly of note is the Chocolatey Goodness series.
James Walkswithwind - We particularly mentioned "Small Fry." I liked the first one, but couldn't get into the second.
"Waiting Here" by Alexandria. I've started to read it a couple of times and gotten irritated with it, but Anne and Bluespirit said it was good, so maybe I'll try again.
flaming muse - Mmmm, Conjunctions series.
shrift - "Loserville" is great.
"Twilight Time" by Shadow. I read a least part of this and didn't think it was that great, but other people love it.
Pet - Spike as a girl in one series, Xander sleeping with Oz and Devon while wanting Spike in another.
Kay - Tends toward the overdramatic, but still good.
ivyincubus - Good stuff. I tend to forget it exists, though.
Twisting the Hellmouth - A Buffy crossover archive. I have no idea what's there.
estepheia, Estepheia - I mostly remember the Spike/Xander/Anya, but I think I've read other stuff by her that was also good.
Saber Shadow Kitten - I've never particularly liked her fic, but many other people have.
MJ Gage - I have a soft spot for "Precious." I realize it's not really a good fic. And yet, I love it.
Ahestele - I really liked "Midnight at LAX."
Kayla - Not a great writer, but "Coming Out" is totally worth it for the laughs.
kyrieane - She was writing a cowboy AU that wasn't bad.
And now we come to the end of this list. I'm sure I'll think of something in five or ten minutes that I've left off of here, but for now, this is what I can think of.
