IWRY 
IWRY is an annual fiction event celebrating the Buffy and Angel relationship. The aim is to provide one brand new story every day for the whole month of November, and was created to mark the anniversary of the Angel episode - I Will Remember You, which aired on November 23rd 1999.
This archive covers the stories from 2010 – 2013, but the event was started in 2004 by Leni – sadly, I don't believe any of those stories are available online now. Chrislee hosted the event from 2005-2009, and these stories have now been moved to the archive here.
Angelus2hot is the current custodian, and her archive is here.
You might also be interested in the IWRY tumblr and IWRY livejournal accounts.
So. Are you up for thirty days of not forgetting?
New authors always welcome!
