No, it's not more P & P spam (which is making me crave swimming pools and Fudgesicles anyway) -- I just saw a gorgeous BSG vid by chaila43 and had to rec it. It's about D'anna, Laura, Caprica, and visions, their separate yet connected journeys in search of something true. It's haunting and thought-provoking and weaves together a coherent story that makes ( Read more... )

Helooo! Thank you all again for the kind words of support. I am very happy to report that I did hear some very excellent things regarding someone very dear to me, and I'm still on a high from getting GOOD news for a change. That plus sunshine and flowering trees has left me quite cheerful. I'm even getting back into writing, although after not ( Read more... )

First some recs!

jcathm's BSG/Flight of the Conchords vid, The Humans Are Dead is a must see! Even if you don't know FotC, it works hilariously well. Someone just needs to make her a Boomqueen icon.

bop_radar's Middleman is a vid which is a many-layered and unflinching study of Lee. Very well done and very stimulating, to boot ( Read more... )

I haven't posted in a while because I've been a bit under the weather and under the gun. Also, as you can tell, a bit stuck on fic. (I'm working on it, but I now feel ready to write an essay entitled "Final Cut": I Remember The Towel, But Who Knew It Was So Angsty?) But now I'm twenty minutes away from hopping on a plane, so no LJ for me for a ( Read more... )

Right now I have a craving for some wonderful writing. Anyone want to play? Pick a favorite poem, book, play, novel, short story, piece of prose or what have you (any genre), and post a favorite quote or passage from it (any length). Repeat the process as many times as you like. We can all feast on beautiful words, and maybe find some new stuff ( Read more... )

Here's some really good stuff I've enjoyed lately:

*dualbunny's Starbuck vid, Cuz I Can (spoilers through the season 3 finale).

What can I say about this vid? Just like its predecessor, God is a DJ, it inspires off-the-charts adoration but also promotes incoherence. HOLY FREAKING FRAK. Probably a lot of you all have seen this already, but hey. Watch ( Read more... )

First, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO! Your present will arrive shortly - BSG flavored of course. :) And I totally stopped writing the crackfic to do it, too. Actually I am looking for any excuse as to why crackfic isn't done yet. Really I just write very, very slowly, and I don't think there's anything that will change that except more experience with ( Read more... )

Everyone knows how much I love Galacticrack, right? Well, a new BSG crackfic has come along and made me inexpressably happy, even though it's not K/L. (Gasp!) As the author nicole_anell puts it, it's a tale wherein "Baltar, Caprica-Six, and their brain-lovers get married and have six children. Three of whom live in their minds." High quality snark, people.

I’ve been meaning to post a list of things y’all have done that have really made me happy lately for a while now, but whew -- you guys are a productive and generous bunch. More and more stuff to add to the list appeared every day, and now the length of it is a little out of control. (Plus, I just realized that most of my flist is full of nice ( Read more... )

I love you guys! I couldn't ever say that enough. Even with the recent kerfuffles I'm so happy I'm part of the LJ community -- you have all been so nice, supportive, wonderful, amazing, and generous. It's been a great comfort to me, since I've been feeling stressed and headachey lately. Then you were very reassuring about my fangirl haircut on ( Read more... )
