Seems like hiatus is a time for bonding with people over books...

I am still reeling about the wonderfulness of having other people with whom to share squee about Dunnett's The House of Niccolo series. c_mantix, dionusia and bitterlatinist have all started reading it, and I am so jubilant about hearing their thoughts! I started this comm for us: readingniccolo. And if you know of any other ( Read more... )

dionusia says she blames me for this Kara/Lee picspam of phallic symbolism. I say we both blame Smallville: it trains one's eye well. ;-) Regardless, this is picspasm of JOY and must be shared! You are the BEST, Denise! MWAH!

I went to see Pirates on Friday night. ( cut for spoilery though shallow and no doubt unpopular reaction )

The last couple of days have been a roller-coaster of emotion, fandom-wise, for me. My apologies to anyone I owe comments to; I'm more than a little behind.

The dust settling, I've recovered my zen about Katee Sackhoff's comments on Kara/Lee. Without dismissing Katee's comments out of hand--which I really did not want to do because I greatly ( Read more... )

Katee Sackhoff was interviewed at the Vulkon Women of SciFi event (proggrrl has posted links to video interviews from the event). One of the comments Katee made really threw me for a loop. I've been resisting posting about this all day, but I don't seem able to let it go.

( cut for unpopular opinion re. Katee's commments )

Before I got hijacked by my own squee about bananainpyjamas's Break, I was going to rec her Matrix vid. My Own Summer, a Neo character study through all three movies, is a magnificent achievement. I'm in awe of her action vid construction--completely masterful and awesome eyecandy. I downloaded the glorious large version--it's seriously spectacular stuff!

You guys know how I have been bemoaning the lack of Lee character studies, right?

Well, bananainpyjamas, aka dragonchic, just posted one and I think I died of happy! I'm so flaily, you can't believe. I practically ran around my office in circles flapping my arms. Thankfully I didn't or my co-workers would have dragged me off to the nut house... but, um, yes. * ( Read more... )

*coughs for attention*

I would like to present to you the brilliance that is dionusia and her BSG crackpoetry, as exemplified by: La Belle Kara Sans Mercy.

Summary: 'What happens when you combine Keats' verse with "Unfinished Business"? A ballad about pilots that's become a bit more R rated than the original, that's what.'Highly recommended for any and ( Read more... )

I am in an extremely good mood. Why? Because fandom is providing me with many giggles.

dionusia wrote me giggly, tickly Kara/Lee for oxoniensis's 'Hugs, Cuddles and Kisses' ficathon. It's so great! Ticklish pilots = love! :-D (ETA: Ohhh, long version posted in her journal. *G*)

You should also check out her BSG crackpoetry, for it is very amusing indeed and ( Read more... )

I've been planning to make a BSG vid recs post for weeks. I have a ridiculous number of vids to rec, so consequently, I've decided to split them into several posts. This first set are all Kara/Lee vids, though some of them are more 'shippy' than others.

Kara/Lee vids
jessicaj703 has five vids which are all great. I particularly like the Kara-centric 'Breathe ( Read more... )
