In other delightful news, sundancekid has successfully seduced me into a love of Dr Who, both doctors nine and ten, so hit me with your recs! Favorite episodes, awesome fics, amazing vids--all of the above--I wants them!

Also, delurking amnesty!

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the vids? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

Recs!

( My favorite J2 bigbangs so far--20 recs behind cut )

( SPN Fanart recs )

( SPN, multi/misc, and BSG vid recs )

Phew, one summer's worth of recs :) I absolutely CANNOT wait for vividcon vids to start showing up soon, yayyyyy!!!!

What about you guys? Seen/read/watched anything awesome that I should check out?

The Mr and I are still catching up on Season 5 of Stargate Atlantis, slowly but surely, and tonight's viewing afforded me a surprise cameo by one of my favorite lesser known actresses: Janina Gavankar.

I first saw her in the Microsoft test project for a search engine with an actress providing dialogue/feedback as part of an interactive interface: www.msdewey.com . Working with the sexy librarian/dominatrix theme, Ms Dewey would help you narrow down your search terms and crack the whip (literally) if you were taking too long or goofing off.

Then I saw Ms Gavankar as the beautiful and sassy Papi on the L Word and I fell massively in girlcrush. We'll just handwave the decision to pick an actress of Indian descent to play a Hispanic character and focus on the awesomeness of Papi. She was sexy, outspoken and completely irresistable. She was great as a rival for Shane (see icon) and she was great as a character in her own right.

So, imagine my delight when she pops up as a random military extra, Sargeant 'Dusty' Mehra, in a highly femslash-friendly all-female away team on SGA. Loved it!

Also lovedlovedloved The Shrine. What a fabulous episode. I love this show!!!

Snagged from taragel because it's been a while since I've done one of these.

Sexy Men/Women Meme

RULES:
1. Compose a list of your top ten sexiest famous men/women.
2. Collect one picture of each on your list. (I cheated with my number ones, so sue me!)
3. Post them in your journal/blog.
4. Tag 3 people to do the same. How about y'all do this one if you feel like it, and otherwise just enjoy the pretty ;)

Lots of images so this isn't very dial-up friendly!

Mmmmmm...tasty.

See here (two years ago) and here (last year) for previous picspams of hotness.

I'm hard at work on my two new vids but there is SO MUCH DAMN PREP TIME in vidding for a new fandom (notes! notes! and more notes!) and I got a little disheartened today...so I took a stroll through my 'vids to watch' bookmarks tab and cheered myself up with the awesomeness of fandom/vidding/vidders in general.

( Recs to share: SPN, SGA, BSG and more! )

I've succumbed to yet another form of fancrack...Stargate Atlantis.

That's right Gays in Space finally made an appearance on my screen and now I am marathoning season 1 and drooling over my new teevee boyfriends Joe Flanigan (I've always known he was cute, but seriously that smirking just kills me dead) and David Hewlett (Rodney McKay is the secret nerdy teddy bear twin of my beloved Chief Tyrol fyi). Haven't even gotten to the stuff with hottass Momoa yet and I'm already hooked.

Not just pretty faces either and cheesy special effects either, because the show actually has some good writing sometimes. The episode that actually clinched it for me was Childhood's End. Dystopian young adult cultures FTW! It was like Mad Max + Logan's Run + Lowry's "The Giver, and I totally loved every cracktastic second of it.

So for those of you who have been playing in/around SGA fandom for a while, help a fangirl out? Picspam me with your favorite JFlan or DHew pics? Rec me some good non-spoilery fic or some shiny vids? Tell me where the cool kids hang out?

[ginormous hat-tip to sundancekid for facilitating my SGA marathon and being such an awesome fangirl in general :D ]
