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:

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.

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 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 ubiquitousmixie!

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 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 vidukon yet this post - carawj and tellitslant are VJing a femslash vidshow! So if you know of any awesome femslash vids, in any fandom, please do mention them here.
