Sounds good, but not only does it make it sound like it's the ninth season of Beyond Sunnydale, but season 8 was still in Sunnydale and might confuse people.

Like "Beyond Sunnydale" : The 9th Season of BtVS.

Or Season Nine: "Beyond Sunnydale".

Almost like we're naming the actual season. Plus, it lets people know that this year, we're moving on and shaking things up.

But the whole 9th season of Buffy is what I feel we have to get away from. Every fanfic writer under the sun is thinking about doing continuations, and we need something to distinguish us from them.

Beyond Sunnydale works fine as a subtitle for the season, but I think we need an overall title for all the seasons to come under.

and it's already well established as a continuation so there's no point attempting to make out that it's not now. Factually, it is season nine as it's the follow up to season eight.

Yeah, but it's only A continuation not THE continuation. A quick search on google shows how many people out there are doing them and while the people on the C&S know what is it, if we want to widen the readership (as Kash is trying to do) a heading to bring all the seasons together might be a good idea.

but only people at the C&S will know the name - who's gonna think "oh there might be a fic called this, let me see"

No-one, but if people were looking for continuation fics, found ours and wanted to tell people about it or talk about it, it's easier to say the 'insert name here' fic, than 'another continuation fic without a name'

Take, for example, Angel Revamped. It's a continuation fic that I can instantly remember the name of and sounds good. If it were just another continuation fic without a name I probably wouldn't remember anything about it.
