Screenshot from Angel parody, Cherub.

This article deals with fan-made productions using elements of the Buffy and Angel franchises. 20th Century Fox and its licensees are the only organizations legally allowed to create any commercial products with the name and trademark Buffy and Angel. Consequently, these fan productions are unauthorized and subject to legal issues. Even so, this body of work exists and continues to grow. Fans have produced works in fan films, and more commonly in fan fiction.

Fan films

Fan films have become more common, as computer and digital technology has advanced, to allow films to be produced for less money. Furthermore the growth of the internet has allowed such films a way be distributed amongst a potentially wide audience. Several Buffyverse fan films have been made, but more are upcoming.

Short film made by Foiled Productions, an independent film production company based in the UK. It's spoofing the "Buffy The Vampire Slayer".[1][2][3]
File:Consanguinity (Buffyverse)-1x01.jpg Consanguinity September 2004
Consanguinity is a machinima computer-animated series inspired by Joss Whedon's series. The first Season was first released in 2004. The following year it was released in higher quality. Season 2 is yet to be confirmed.[4]
File:Cherub (Buffyverse)-1x01.jpg Cherub February 2006
The adventures of "Cherub", the vampire with bunny slippers. The first Season consisting of 12 episodes, began to appear from February 2006. Season 2 is currenty being released.[5][6]
File:Forgotten Memories (Buffyverse)-Buffy.JPG Forgotten Memories Upcoming (2006/2007)
Continuation of Buffy after Chosen. Full Episode written and starring Emma Paige Langley. Soon to be released.[7]
File:Vangelis (Buffyverse)-Tom Miller.JPG Vangelis Upcoming (2006/2007)
Production was completed on this Angel spoof in 2006, but the fan film has yet to go online. The creator, Harvey Chin said on Whedonesque that "I'm giving it away free via the net after I see whether or not it can have a chance to be seen at a convention"[1]. Muffin the Turtle Killer was initially planned as a prequel to "Vangelis", but only five scenes were completed and the project was ultimately abandoned.

The attitude of the Buffy and Angel copyright and trademark holders towards fan works has so far largely ignored fan productions providing they are not made for profits. Buffyverse fan films currently operate in an informational vacuum, since 20th Century Fox has made no official statement regarding their existence, pro or con. Fan filmmakers have generally kept a low profile, hoping not to draw attention to themselves.
