I haven't made any resolutions excapt maybe to make life easier for myself this year. One thing I plan to try out is to post smaller batches of recs more often.

So, here are recs for fics and vids in the following fandoms: 12 Dancing Princesses, Alias, the Blade Runner movies, the Bourne movies and Dirty Dancing.

purple_cube asked for my fannish timeline over the past ten years - which fandom I most associate with each year etc.

Picking one fandom for some years was really hard, because it turns out I’ve always been multifannish, which the nature of livejournal encouraged. But here goes!

News that Kudos is preparing another spy show for the Beeb/ I'm cautiously optimistic, although they're presenting it as NEW! and EXCITING! and I'm thinking of Alias and Spooks, so it doesn't sound new to me. But I liked both shows, obviously. However, a lot depends on what accent Melissa George is going to be using. And I remember being very ( Read more... )

White I understand and respect Claudia Winkleman's reasons for not presenting It Take Two this year, she's going to be hard to replace. She gets what's awesome and ridiculous about 'the Strictly experience', she's smart, funny and infectious. Meanwhile, when I heard the news about Cheryl being dropped, I wasn't surprised. In fact, the very cynical ( Read more... )

There's all sorts: vids, fanart, picspams and icons, but mainly it's fic with some commentfic from the Awesome Ladies Ficathon. On the latter, these are just my picks from a first skim, there were lots of fics that I saved the links for 'later'. What was nice was that there were ficlets about characters in fandoms that don't get a lot of attention ( Read more... )

( Fisc and vids in the following fandoms: Alias, Bones (pre-series to season 2 only), BTVS (including crossovers); ER; Law and Order UK; Push and The Good Wife )

I got home from watching Star Trek to catch the last half hour of American Idol - the top three results. ( ”quick )

Inspired by previous fannish celebrations/ feminist claiming of Valentine's Day, here's a link of cool stuff featuring female characters from various fandoms I've come across over the last two years. If all had been well, this would have been posted this time last year, and if all had been optimal, it would contain links featuring characters with ( Read more... )

A bunch of miscellaneous links - some of these are old and some of them will be redundant if I don't post this now.

( Friday Night Lights resources; Greg Grunberg interview; Neverwhere icons; funny, snarky take on rom-coms; articles on the lack of women-led comic-book movies and how we read online; analysis of the Tina Fey-Searah Palin phenomenon; a Toby Ziegler essay (hee, the juxtaposition!); Tin Man specific writing advice and resources; The Dark Knight spoof vid )

Yes, now, four months after I would have if all had been well, and after everyone else did theirs, here it is, my 2007 fic round up. When I first drafted this (which was the end of last week) I thought that this would be the first step to maybe posting some ficlets. In the meantime, the computer in the house has apparently died, so maybe not (I'm ( Read more... )
