The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Party Freeform

The Buffy the Vampire Slayer Party Freeform is a 25 player freeform set in the world of the Buffy and Angel tv shows, created by Joss Whedon. Our original plan was to write this in a day, and while we got the basic concepts done in a day, getting the whole thing done and dusted took a little longer. 18 months, in fact…
