I was going to wait a while and post a longer recs post so I'm not spamming, but I couldn't wait to post this, because I think I found maybe the most wonderful Yuletide story of the year and I had to say something about it.

That story would be for Buckaroo Banzai, and it's called Buckaroo Banzai and the Floydada Scuffle and it is just... it left ( Read more... )

It's very interesting watching all the Yuletide stuff going on. I never paid much attention to it before, the lists of recs and such. I hope I'm not spamming, but I'm not signed up for the community (I guess I ought to, if I'm going to rec stuff), and I wanted to share these even though I think about maybe 2 people will be interested in anything I ( Read more... )

I have a story! I really, really wanted a story for Christmas, and look, I got one! I know how crazy it sounds, but I still kept thinking, all through this first Yuletide experience, that I wouldn't get one. But I did!

And it's Charlie Jade, y'all. The one fandom I expected least, because it's so freaking small and I know most of the people who ( Read more... )

As we wait for the Yuletide unveiling, I wanted to rec a couple stories from last year, for Chuck, which I stumbled on in some intrepid Chuck-fic research last night (I don't think I realized it would be a fandom for me at this point last year).

Casey vs. the Dorks is here. Yeah, there are some errors in here, but overall the voices are excellent ( Read more... )

After watching my friends list erupt with squeeing over the new James Bond movie, Casino Royale, and consequently his new actor, Daniel Craig, for over a month, I finally got to see the damn thing this weekend. I've been a fan of Craig's for a long time, and I was deeply distressed when they named him the new Bond. See, I hate James Bond movies. ( Read more... )

My darling lordshiva, whose inestimable storytelling talents have graced us in Buffy fandom (not to mention Dr. Who recently) under the name Kalima, has finally had her book Erasing Sherlock published, and I have it in my hot little hands. ::does happy dance of book joy ( Read more... )

Before I started getting sick in August, I was DLing some vids and trying to get a vids recs post going, but then I kept losing momentum each time I got started. By now, I've managed to lose track of some of the vids I wanted to rec, and that's entirely my fault and i feel more than a bit stupid about it, but I thought I'd at least mention these ( Read more... )

Not long after Hillary Swank won her first Best Actress Oscar, she starred in an HBO movie called Iron Jawed Angels, about the last years of the woman's suffrage movement leading up to the constitutional amendment finally giving women the right to vote in the U.S. I remember at the time the reviews were mostly mixed to negative, not so much because ( Read more... )

sdwolfpup has a wonderful new vid for Scrubs, titled Anodyne. Even if you don't know the series -- and you should! Why don't you? -- you can totally get a kick out this one. It's charming, adorable, bouncy, with just a little touch of the bittersweet underlying it all, just like JD's world (JD is the central character in the series, but it's truly an ( Read more... )

The past few weeks have seen some really wonderful vids come out from some of my favorite vidders, and I realize how lax I've been in terms of reccing *any*thing lately, let alone vids. Part of it is that I seem unable to read fanfic unless someone specifically asks me to edit, so I haven't been able to do much there (and really, anyway, it seems ( Read more... )
