Recommendations of good stuff to read for today's fest entry. :)

Pest Control, by Illiad_And_Oddity (Symbrock, PG-13)
I love Mrs Chen, and this is another great story from her POV.

"Mutualism" by Venom, by duckmoles (Symbrock, PG-13)
A future fic, in which Eddie and Venom have written a book about their symbiosis. I love this kind of world building, ( Read more... )

Today's Symbrock fest entry is a set of recs from the Symbrock Holiday Gift Exchange 2018, which just opened up today.

I wrote a fic for this, and will write a ficlet for the first person to correctly guess which is mine. Obviously I won't be able to confirm this until the reveal.

My gift was A Brilliant Display (PG-13), and it's got Venom ( Read more... )

I love Festivids. I always find a few new shows to check out, as well as a fresh look at some old favourites.

This year, I scored two awesome Forbidden Kingdom vids. Both have completely different sensibilities, and neither focus on the boring protagonist (just as I requested).

I made three vids this year for Festivids, my main assignment, a pinch hit, and an extra.

This year, I found Festivids to be surprisingly happymaking. I mean, it always is, because these are small fandoms dear to people's hearts. But last year, there was definitely an angsty vibe to a lot of vids, and this year, it's just so happy! Anyway, on with the recs.

For me!!!

I scored two vids this year, and I'm super lucky because they are also my favourite vids this year. :)

Armour of God, “Dance!” (PG-13)
This is such a great vid. Excellent song choice, fantastic use of movement, and funny! Everything I wanted of a Jackie Chan ( Read more... )

I’ve recently needed to upgrade my work wardrobe, which was a trial until I decided to bite the bullet and buy clothes online. Then everything became much easier than I was expecting. Clothes! That look good and fit! Who knew?

That said, there are some knacks to shopping for clothes online -- things I had no idea about when I began -- so I thought I ( Read more... )

I scored an awesome fic for the Teen Wolf Holidays 2013 exchange:

• Complicated but Ridiculously Simple by Ionaonie (Derek/Stiles, PG-13). It's a lovely friendship fic, with not healing cock in sight. \o/

Summary:
Despite what Scott thought, Derek was into him. Stiles knew that. But Derek needed to be comfortable with himself, had to have dealt with ( Read more... )

Here's a vid by sinycatarina, comparing Derek's scenes with Jennifer to those with Stiles. I'd picked up on some of these, but not all of them.
