Huh. Apparently the DW crossposter is broken?
Manually reposting.

Two more vids I really liked, both by the same guy (!!):
Give It Up by
jarrow (multifandom, 80s movies)
Awesomely joyful vid about dancing, featuring The Breakfast Club, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and Footloose, so yes, pretty much exactly as much fun as you'd imagine. (Also, Sean Penn! Matthew Broderick! Kevin Bacon! All so young!)
Learn to Crawl by
jarrow (BSG)
Fantastic Kara/Kat vid. I never quite shipped them, but goddamn they had some great slashy moments. The eyefucks! The punches thrown! That moment where you hoped thought Kara might just lean in and plant one on Kat after Kat punched her! So this one made me all teary.

I had a conversation about
yuletide with
yahtzee63 at
bethebethbeth's birthday party on Saturday, and now I am trying to get a jump on thinking about things to ask for (and offer) for yuletide this year. I think this year I am really going to stick to my guns and only offer things I really-o truly-o want to write.
As for what I'm thinking of asking for, because I never ever remember when it's time to sign up, so I ask for the same thing every year, so I am going to make a note to myself now:
1. MIDDLEMAN!
2. The Thief of Attolia series by Megan Whelan Turner
Sadly, I don't think Dark Angel will be included this year (it wasn't last year, after having previously been a yuletide fandom), and I have a feeling that Criminal Minds is too big, too, so I still have two slots open. Big Bang Theory is a possibility, I guess, as is Psych. The True Meaning of Smekday! Will Leverage be too big? I don't know. There is always Ocean's 11 and The Iliad, as well as Lucifer and Sandman, my perennial fallbacks. Hmm...
At least now I will be able to refer back to this when the time comes, and I'm going, "Uh, um, Achilles/Patroclus! Danny/Rusty!" like I always do.
