Festivids was really exciting this year! I got not one but two vids, both of them fabulous, and both of them by the awesome Nancy Blackett.

This absolutely perfect and wonderful dinnerladies vid, and this cute and fun and fabulous Nyssa vid.

I made a MASH vid, which was quite a challenge because it's a big canon and I'm not as familiar with it as I used to be, but I worked hard on it and I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's here. I may make a proper vid post for it at some point.

Fandom Stocking was lots of fun too! I got an adorable Ace/Mel drabble, a delightful Team Crawley Sisters ficlet, fabulous Cybill icons, and cute beautiful happy-making DS9 fic that makes my pupils turn into little hearts! (Cleo and others still watching, don't click, may be spoilery!) Plus lots of nice good wishes! :D

I wrote eight ficlets in Deep Space Nine, Next Gen, Doctor Who, Vorkosigan Saga, Downton Abbey and SJA, and they're here.

At long last, our dear [livejournal.com profile] silly_cleo is watching DS9. Unfortunately she's only on Season 2, and she's almost run out of Kira/Dax fic that she can read without being spoiled for later seasons.

So I turn to you, dear flist. First of all, recs? Particularly things that can't be found in the appropriate tag on AO3?

Second of all, drabbles! Ficlets! Epics, if you feel like it! Write them, post them in the comments! Or leave prompts! Either respond to prompts or just write whatever you feel like!

The only rule is it must have some Kira/Dax element, and NO spoilers past Season Two! Have fun!

(long overdue real-life post and comments etc forthcoming once I'm actually back from work...)

Yuletide!

So, I really lucked out with a recipient who basically requested everything I love to write, and so I had lots of fun coming up with ideas and lots of angst trying to choose between them!

In the end I came up with:

Another Woman's Stairs (Downton Abbey, G, Mrs Hughes, with a bit of Carson and some mention of Cora)

And also I wrote a little something for Madness:

Want (Jam and Jerusalem, G, Susie/Caroline)

On the subject of Jam and Jerusalem, I received:

Changes Rung on an Old Theme by Ishie, a beautiful fic that gives everyone a few wonderful lines and a gorgeous scene between Sal and Eileen at the end. So exciting because there is barely any J&J fic, and this just did everything that I hoped it would do!

Other than that, I'm so behind on reading because I was in Wales until the 28th and then we got back and our carbon monoxide alarm went off and the emergency guy came and switched everything off and there's no engineer until tomorrow so we've been staying with [livejournal.com profile] silly_cleo, [livejournal.com profile] minihannah, [livejournal.com profile] jakera and Kirstie, who while generous have no internet! ;D (At the moment we're camping in our freezing living room so we can all catch up on email...)

Hope everyone else had a good Yuletide!

Since I'm supposed to be spending this time doing aaaaall the things, here is a procrastinatory post! I just wanted to rec a few of my favourite fandom things from 2011 - bearing in mind that I will probably forget a lot of things and the list will be weighted in favour of the last few months, but yes, anyway, here is some awesome stuff that I liked this year!

Fic:

Sanity Will Be Graded on a Curve (M*A*S*H) - BlueMorpho - I don't read a lot of M*A*S*H fic these days, but this wowed me. I suspect it's probably still quite interesting even if you don't know the show, but it especially is if you do!

I Get That Line All the Time (Star Trek) - Thistlerose - OK, so, this one's cheating a bit because it's a remix of my own fic, but I love the way Thistlerose took the brief scenario I'd written - Uhura and Lily Sloane meeting - and ramped the awesome up to eleven.

Mutual Attraction (Star Trek) - Oparu - I. Just. Lwaxana Troi. And Kate Pulaski. This story makes me ridiculously happy.

Theoretical Principles (Star Trek) - sophiegrace - This story not only has one of my favourite pairings (Seven/B'Elanna), in it they work exactly the way I see them working - they're funny and snarky and hot and adorable.

Before I Go (Star Trek) - carawj - Yeah, I know she's my girlfriend but Cara writes awesome fic. Doctors! Worf impressions! Enjoyable drunkenness! :D

Vids:

Born Too Late (ST: DS9) - Bironic - This vid is the soundtrack to my life right now. It is absolute perfection when it comes to the folk of DS9 being adventurey and teamy and wonderful.

If You're the Captain (ST:VOY) - thingswithwings - I giggle every time I watch this because it so perfectly explains the way Captain Janeway and her crew work.

Suddenly I See (Firefly) - purplefringe - This is just a ridiculously lovable and joyful and sweet Inara/Kaylee vid and it makes me smiiiiile.

Suzanne (Doctor Who) - such_heights - Of all the flurry of Doctor/TARDIS stuff that came out this year, this for me is the one that feels the most true. It's the perfect mixture of wistful and loving and delighted.

Christmas in the Delta Quadrant (ST: VOY) - touchdownpossum - This is just super-cracktastic, awesome Christmas fun!

I've been meaning for a while to do a post with some recs and things... I think I've probably forgotten half the stuff I was going to put on it, but never mind, here we go:

[livejournal.com profile] such_heights is running a Female Character Trope Fest, looks like it's going to be awesome, some great prompts for Star Trek and others.

Found this awesome women of Doctor Who vid.

[livejournal.com profile] sophia_gratia wrote me heart-breaking, gorgeous Kira and the O'Briens family(ish) fic which everyone should read.

I still (eventually) plan to do a proper con report for [livejournal.com profile] vidukon, but in the meantime, a few of my favourites included this Jurassic Park vid which is hilarious even if you don't really care about Jurassic Park or about vids, this adorable SJA vid focusing on Mr Smith and K9, a totally cute Nyssa/Tegan vid, a brilliant Cybill/Maryann vid that single-handedly made me desperate to watch the show, and the most happy-making Billy Elliot vid in the world.

Also, someone crossed over Temeraire and Pride and Prejudice. Whee, dragons and frocks!

And this Sarah Jane and Gita fic is fun and sweet.

Ooh, and I almost forgot, my awesome new mood theme is by [livejournal.com profile] ubiquitousmixie!

Rec Me!

I'm reading a lot more fic than usual lately - partly because I'm working from home so I have more time around the house, partly because all the new year exchanges got me in the mood, and partly because my attention span right now is not great, and sometimes a whole book seems a bit daunting.

So, people, rec me some good fic! Along these lines:

* Trek! Lots of Trek! Especially DS9 and TNG. Especially about the ladies.
* Does anyone know of any good Keiko fic? I can hardly find any where she comes off well and isn't just trying to break up Julian and Miles.
* Or anything at all involving Pulaski and not written by myself or [livejournal.com profile] carawj?
* Or Harry Potter, if it's about McGonagall, or any of the other older ladies
* Doctor Who femslash! Obscure pairings! Mel!
* I'm always in the mood for gen and femslash - but I'll take anything if it's interesting.
* Nothing too long - from drabble-length to max 10,000 words? Like I said, attention span.
* If anyone knows of any fic AT ALL for any of these things, point the way - The Tin Princess, Jam and Jerusalem, the Drina books, Moondreamers.

1. We've been watching some Next Gen lately. Arsenal of Freedom is, in its cheesy way, kind of awesome. Seriously, Geordi gets to be in charge of the ship and kick ass and be a great leader - when does he ever get that kind of story again? And Deanna's pretty cool in it too. Also we watched Family - another excellent cheese-fest. Oh, Worf's parents! I ♥ them so.
2. The [livejournal.com profile] where_no_woman New Year ficathon got revealed! I got written Awesome Guinan/Pulaski (so excited!!), and I wrote Guinan back-story, which people seemed to quite like, yay! Lots of other great stories in the exchange too.
3. If you like graphic novels, fairytales, things that pass the Bechdel Test, or all three, then you need to read Castle Waiting. Like, immediately. Heck, you need to even if you don't like those things. I don't care.
4. There is Malory Towers kinky teacher femslash in the world. Just thought y'all should know. (Also, femslash people - you should read this DS9 fic for the title alone).
5. Just because I haven't mentioned [livejournal.com profile] vidukon yet this post - [livejournal.com profile] carawj and [livejournal.com profile] tellitslant are VJing a femslash vidshow! So if you know of any awesome femslash vids, in any fandom, please do mention them here.
