Wow, it's really been some time since I actually sat down and read some fic. (Does that however mean I'm anywhere close to being started with the list of all the stuff I should check? Of course not!) But since I did, here's some recs.

Lost

Dites moi, by motchi aka kimouski

After the S5 finale, I was desperate to see some justice for Juliet, so I requested some from kimouski. This is Juliet after the island, trying to start her life again.

( The rest here: 2 Supernatural, 1 X-Men, 1 Dollhouse/Supernatural, 1 Farscape, 2 Buffy The Vampire Slayer )

Also, a Mad Men-promo!

( Lost Chances )

Ever since Women's Work (which tends to be brought up over and over again in this journal), I've looked forward to somebody making a similar vid about BtVS. As feminist as Joss may be, claiming there's never been anything off about his work is just silly. This vid is more about race than gender, but I have that vid now.

Origin Stories, by giandujakiss

This vid is a gen about Slayers other than Buffy, about Kendra who was a Slayer along with Buffy before Faith, about Xin Rong and Nikki Wood, Slayers who fought the good fight before they met Spike. It's about First Slayer who was forced to accept demonic power inside her by men, and Dana who tried to do her job and was taken down by Angel and his men instead. It's also about Robin Wood, who continued the battle of his mother and sought to avenge her, only to be put in his place by Spike and Buffy. The vid serves as commentary of race issues in Buffy, and does a great job of driving the point home. As as much as I'm emphasizing certain names here, I recommend this vid also to non-fans. I believe it's obvious that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a very white show. After this, it's even more obvious.

I'm pretty sure that if I ever got bitten by a vid making bug for real, I would ditch writing altogether and never look back. Because I would be dying to reach goodness like this:

Filthy Mind, by sol_se

It's stream of consciousness in vid form, bringing together several fandoms (Battlestar Galactica, Dexter and Smallville just for starters) in this stunning visual fest. According to the vidder it's a combination of free association (what one character does brings another in mind) and pulsing lights of a club, and it's fantastic. It ranges from hard to impossible to do something like this in fic, and I haven't seen many things like this in vid world either. It's a must watch.

( And now, some Farscape: John, John/Scorpius )
