Five sf recs, mostly long satisfying stories with an emphasis on original/minor characters & worldbuilding....

( 5 recs in Hainish Cycle, Star Trek, Vorkosigan )

Assorted recs, mostly more fresh than usual, including my favourites from this summer's Night on Fic Mountain, Lost Library exchange, Not Prime Time & Sutcliff Swap.

( 12 recs in Duchess of Malfi, LotR, Knight's Fee, P&P, Poirot, Silmarillion, Star Trek (DS9, TNG, TOS), The Tempest, Vorkosigan, Whoniverse, including crossovers )

Mainly Star Trek, despite the icon (I must get a DS9 icon starring a woman!). I wish I could subtitle it Women Boldly Going, but mostly it's Women Bravely Being Screwed. Several deal with Women Whom Canon Forgot and there are some dark parts of canon here...

( 6x Doctor Who, DS9, TNG, & a smidge of TOS crossover )

It's always a treat to see stories about very minor characters, particularly those who don't often star in fanfiction, and there are several examples here. Also well-crafted original characters who fit so well into the source that you'd think they'd been born there.

( 7 recs in DS9, Historical RPF, Neverwhere, Reservoir Dogs, Romeo and Juliet, Spirited Away, Twin Peaks )

And a slightly larger handful from visual media, including the (sparse) fruits of a Robin Hood (BBC) reading binge (most of the better stories are WiPs on permanent hiatus). Mainly old to ancient...

( AtS, B7, DS9, Galaxy Quest, Noggin the Nog, Robin Hood (BBC), The Mentalist )

Sorry for the recs spamming, but I've only just caught up with all the ones I added to the website back in May!

( 2 recs in Deep Space Nine, 2 in Reboot )

Espresso Recommendations is 9 today! Herewith some recs in some of my oldest fandoms... ( DS9, TNG, Reboot, Voyager )

astrogirl2 has written a gorgeous Odo being a detective with bonus Kira snippet to a prompt of mine. Really made me smile.

My first mini-foray into writing DS9...

(Cats simply weren't suited to space stations. Drabble, set after 'Honor among Thieves' (S6))

Surfing the wave of fanfiction for the new film (for which recommendations will appear eventually, no doubt) made me dip back into my old Trek loves. Here are a few classics for those afflicted with a similar dose of nostalgia...

Deep Space 9
