Whoo, got my purimgifts submissions in before the deadline! (With some fic revisions still to do and some headaches re: posting images and AO3 text formatting weirdness.) The mods could still use some help from pinch hitters!

I agree with heather about the Being Human season 3 finale! (That is, I loved it! If you hated it you might not enjoy that post or comments much.) Major spoilers, obvs.

Here are some multifandom reccing comms on Dreamwidth! I haven't really participated in any of them but community participation on Dreamwidth and recs are two good things, so I intend to do so.

-fancake: A fanfic rec comm. The mods post a new theme once a month (around the 15th!) and anyone can post recs for that theme. Themes so far have been amnesia, telepathy, superpowers, and now crossovers/fusions. I think this will be the most useful of these comms for me; I like the themed challenges and the time limits would be good motivation for me to go ahead and post.

-bestthingever: "bestthingever is not a rec comm where you look through your bookmarks and recommend your all time favorites. It's a comm for the avid reader to rec the latest incredible thing they came across and can't wait to share with everyone. It's for new fics only, and the holycrapawesome ones at that.

-list50: Users pick a theme and post a list of 50 good fics. These are mostly lists rather than full recs, so in some cases the info is pretty minimal, but if that's a theme you know you like, then yay here are a bunch of titles to explore. ETA: this comm is open to other kinds of fanworks too, not just fics!

-podficpool: A searching and reccing comm for podfics. This comm hasn't been very active lately but you can get a lot of great listening material out of one post. For instance, the latest post is a set of long and angsty and plotty podfics.

As I had hoped would happen, frigg (so much more knowledgeable about Merlin fandom than I) has left an awesome long comment on my recs post from yesterday, including a bunch of additional recs and links, and thoughts about visual representations of subby Arthur. Do check out the comments if that's something you're into! And turns out there's a whole arthur_submits comm on LJ that I didn't know about! Maybe I will post a link there and more people will comm and share their recs. (Or maybe I will be too shy.)

Speaking of LJ comms, camelot_knights is running an Elyan Week starting tomorrow!

Click the banner for the prompting post, which is already open!


There is also a new Porn Battle running at oxoniensis's journal now through February 3rd, with zillions of prompts in Merlin and many other fandoms, and a separate listing for prompts featuring characters of color. It is open to everything porny including fic, art, vids, and songs. (I've always found the Porn Battle kind of overwhelming with all the prompts and intimidating with the injunction to create hot porn, and I've never written anything for it, but maybe if I look at some of the smaller fandom prompts I'll come up with something.)

Being Human season 3 started/starts tonight whoo! And wtf I don't have a journal tag or any icons for it. Well, I guess I watched the first two seasons really quickly and not while they were airing so I never really talked about it. But this is one of my favorite shows! I can't wait to watch!

I notice that almost all my posts lately are either fanworks or cheerful links to fanworks and challenges, and I haven't been making many f-locked posts. I have been feeling mostly good about my writing (three fics already this month, two of them longer and porny! After only four shorter fics in the previous four months) and podficcing lately and not as good about the rest of my life. I will say though that today I did a load of laundry and washed ALL the dishes, so those are two things to feel good about.

ETA: Oh gosh I forgot to say festivids!! That was my whole day yesterday, alternating tears of heartache and squeals of squee! (I should go back tonight and maybe that will put me in a better mood.) Well, I will try to do a separate recs post later but look just go check out the masterlist and luxuriate in the vids! And claudia603, the one Homicide vid is Lewis-centric and it's wonderful.
