I was going to make this a multi-fandom one, but I think I'll have to have one for the BSG fic and another for other fandoms because I read SO DAMN MUCH bsg this year. So here goes!

( My top 5 BSG fics o' 2007 )

( Another 13 that I happened to adore and would whole-heartedly rec, and there's plenty of both het and slash to go around here *g* )

Phew. Now it's bedtime!

Rather than grovel for not having been around during the holidays, I'm going to start the new year with a whole damn bunch of fandom love. First, a vid rec post for all of my favorites of 2007!

My 2007 Vid Recs by Fandom

( BSG, always first in my heart *g* )

( Supernatural, which I'm totally going to start vidding as soon as I get to start my Xmas gift card shopping spree! )

( Other fandoms: Whedon-verse and Harry Potter )

( And a little shameless self-pimpage, since 2007 was my first year as a vidder... )

Yay for vids :) If you saw or made something awesome in '07, comment and tell me all about it! Next up will be a Fic Rec list for last year, hopefully up in the next day or two.

Most beautiful SPN crack!vid ever here by deirdre_c. Seriously, you don't even have to watch the show to appreciate the hilarity and the excessive prettiness of the Winchester Boys.

If y'all haven't read or seen it before, Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About.com is a recent favorite source of hilarious Brit fanboy snark with the Mr and I. Yes they may all seem like crazy and irrational arguments, but you know you've had one just like that too!

If nothing else, just take a look at his page for Angry Bed Positions. It's freakin priceless.

( I'm dying to get my hands on the next Buffy issue now because this last one is so damn good! )

Speaking of my undying love for Faith Lehane, I bring you my contribution to M's recent desktop meme:

So. What have you guys been up to?

Wow.  I think I may actually have died from the pretty this time.  It is possible to overdose on arm!pr0n?

Some brilliant people have created a Tahmoh/Trucco comm, team_tahcco , and posted the most gorgeous and comprehensive picspams I have ever seen of each:

The Tahmoh Penikett Picspam of Utter Joy

The Michael Trucco Picspam of Sheer Bliss

The Ultimate Tahmoh + Trucco = Tahcco of Lurv Picspam

They are also posting video clips of each of them in various TV/movie cameos.  THIS is why I love fandom.

I'm actually caught up on readings/teaching/tech-crap/work etc enough to justify the following extravagances:

• Spent 9 more hours on the current vid project this week and it is currently with my beloved beta awaiting her feedback. Yayyyyyyyy for productivity! BSG+FotC owns my brain ;)
  
• Posted the almighty crack!fic list which has more BSG crack than I ever knew existed (and more keeping popping up in the comments, w00t!)
• Went to see HP5 in 3D at the IMAX _again_ with the Mr. last night! Had more time to truly appreciate the ginormous prettiness of the set/production quality on the huge-ass screen. And to lust after Sirius in his pin-striped velvet jacket of awesomeness.
• Downloaded the entire VAST discography to get the albums I didn't already have (which I can upload some if anyone wants), as well as a bunch of study-friendly music like Royksopp and Telepopmusik
• Spent the last three hours having one extended fangasm over new and new-to-me vids in sooooo many fandoms. So I bring rec's for all!

In summary...favorite new-to-me vidder of the week: jarrow272 !  So much pretty (it takes a damn good vidder to make beautiful AND believable femmeslash vids), and he has excellent taste in teh hawt womens, and there are a lifetime of awesome vid recs on his website.

And favorite new-to-me author of the week: cynthia_arrow ! Seriously y'all, so much awesome slash and other writings to be had at her journal: CW RPS (oh the prettiness of the boys of SPN and SV, and because I can't swing Wincest but I'm all over J2, and Clex!), Weevil/Logan (why don't more people write awesome, realistic W/L?), the aforementioned Sam/Lee of WIN!, deliciously hot angst Kara/Anders (cuz I can't get enough of Sam lately), and Gaius math!crack. So much to love!

( So, for the record, I cried three times... )

Really it is a damn good book and a very satisfying ending to the series.

Only two and a half weeks until spring classes are over...May is henceforth to be known as the Month-of-ZOMG-So-Much-Vidding. I have literally a dozen vid ideas mapped out and ready to go, I just need the time off to get them done--grrrrr! So, yes, MAY. I will rock all y'all's socks with oodles of viddage.

In the meantime...( linkspam and rec's galore )

Don't even get me started on the Downloaded-But-Unwatched Tudors and season 4 L Word on my hard-drive...

I just finished up my month of rec'ing for BSG at crack_van. It was entirely too hard deciding on just 12 fics to rec to show my favorites from my beloved fandom du jour. In the end, I ended up rec'ing the ones that I love that I thought would have the most universal appeal to those outside of fandom--since that's kind of the point of the comm: to share fics across fandoms and bring in new readers/addicts. Anyways: agonizing to narrow down, but fun to get to reread and write recs for so many of my favorite fics/authors.

In the process of sorting through BSG stories, I started a bookmarking/reclist for my favorite fanfics here. All stories are tagged by fandom and character/pairing etc. so go poke around and have fun. I'll keep updating it as I read (and I still have a lot of fics that I read ages ago that I need to track down and bookmark so I don't forget 'em).

That means YOU amaleka_crone: go read some hot angsty pilots now!!!

ProgGrrl has a similar reclist too that I would highly recommend (mostly Kara/Lee fics), and a wonderful YouTube playlist of multi-fandom shipper vids (including many Kara/Lee vids) available online. You rock proggrrl!

I've got a list of favorite vids on YouTube too, but unfortunately it only includes the vids posted on that site--so I'll have to make a more comprehensive vid reclist one of these days...

( So here are the 12 fics that I rec'd behind the cut )Wheeeeeee for fanfic!
