Here's the last of my yuletide recs - a few days after the reveal, but then, I pay very little attention to author names at the best of times. (It's very useful; it means that when my favourite authors post to comms instead of their own journals/sites, I keep getting surprised at how good their stories are, because I never realize they're the ( Read more... )

Sneaking in fandoms starting with #-C before the reveal. D-J will have to wait until later.

( 1602, 21 Jump Street, The Addams Family (movie), The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Agatha Christie - Poirot series, Astrid Lindgren - Ronia the Robber's Daughter, Audrey Niffenegger - The Time-Traveler's Wife, Batman Begins, Bible - Hebrew Bible or Old Testament, Billy Elliot, Breakfast Club, Carnivale, Coupling UK, CS Lewis - Chronicles of Narnia, Cupid (tv). )

Now, since I started my Yuletide reading at K (because I'm egocentric and K is my initial), this is in fact NOT my last list of Yuletide reccing, just my second one ( Read more... )

Happy Yuletide people! And apologies to my writer - I meant to make a post earlier, but I got caught up reading through the archive.

The story written for me is the highly amusing Psych fic When Gus Met Shawn (and She-Ra). Psych is one of those medium-sized fandoms I doubt will even qualify next year, but there's very little in the way of good Gus ( Read more... )

The Doctor Who macro community has a challenge to make macros in different languages. So naturally, I completely fail to come up with an idea of a DW macro, and instead reused my saved image of the Pasbeard to illustrate this saying from Skåne, Sweden, where I live.

( Pasdar kindly illustrates idiomatic language. )

I don't remember who recced this - thank you, whoever you are! - but I have to spread the love. googlebrat has a most lovely Harry Potter shortfic series that shows afterlife for different characters. It starts with End of the Line, with the summary "Hell was, Snape decided, a crowded railway platform." and so far there are four more. The series becomes even ( Read more... )

I finally got around to making my last list of yuletide recs, from S to Z. (Or, well, U, but I don't have any later than that.)

( Fandoms are Sandman, Scrubs, Superman Returns, Susan Cooper - Dark is Rising series, Terry Pratchett - Discworld, Torchwood, and Ugly Betty )

Managed to get another batch in before the reveal. Authors of stories S-Z, rest assured that I'll read your stories too - I'll just be denied the opportunity to guess who's behind your words.

The stories are fewer this time, so I haven't singled any out. The way I figured, half of the fandoms will be unknown to most of the readers anyway.

( 15 stories from 13 fandoms: Heroes, Hilary McKay - The Casson Family series, Jake 2.0, Judging Amy, Lloyd Alexander - Chronicles of Prydain, LM Montgomery - Anne of Green Gables series, LM Montgomery - Emily series, MASH, MirrorMask, Noel Streatfeild - Ballet Shoes, Patricia C Wrede - Enchanted Forest Chronicles, The Princess Bride, and Questionable Content )

Am back from my sister's, where I've spent the last three days. Her kids are still as adorable as ever, but I'll spare you more kiddy talk this time. :-)

Obviously this means I'm a bit behind on yuletide, which is the reason this post only goes to G. Considering how many stories are in it, maybe that's a blessing. For those of you with limited time, I've ( Read more... )

I'm so embarrassed... It seems like there were two stories written for me, and I never even noticed. Shame on me! The second story is also Playing By Heart (seems like that fandom appealed to people!) Joan/Keenan, and written in a very lovely way with a fairy tale style framing the story itself. The author's view of Keenan isn't entirely flattering ( Read more... )
