I've loved many fanvids, and unfortunately saved very few of them :/. But I encountered a few when I was going through my Black Sails tag to hunt for recommendations, and I decided to share those, and a few others, to close rec-cember.

Black Sails

Others

ALSO I discovered this too late to recommend it in the Murderbot Diaries's post, but: here's some (way too sexy) Murderbot art 😔

And at last, a couple of Yuletide recommendations!

  • Knife, a Rope (1948) fic. 4.9k, M. It shows a bit of how Brandon and Phillip came to be... whatever they are in the film, to each other. Superb characterisation.
  • night-trap, a Carmilla (novella) fic. 7.6k, M. Years after the novella, the two women meet again. GREAT "becoming the monster" take, with very vivid prose.

  • Current Music: Dave Porter - A Carol For Carol

The post offered a handy list of examples to use, but in the spirit of other rec lists I've made in this journal, I'll post only *one* example of each (and then some).
  • ONE book everyone should read: I read Deathless by Catherynne M. Valente last month. The prose and imagery are absolutely enthrancing, and I love the way it grounds the myth in a historical reality. I live for that shit ngl.
  • ONE comic everyone should read: Bruce Wayne: Murderer?/Fugitive is THEE arc to get that guy. Really, really good. I want to punch his face in añdslfkjasf.
  • ONE song everyone should hear: "In Every Dream Home a Heartache" by Roxy Music.
  • ONE movie everyone should watch: last Sunday I finally got around watching Hitchcock's Rope. Quite interesting and layered, as what (tragically) little I've seen of his.
  • ONE tv show everyone should watch: Nikita (2009). Do it. I'm doing you a favour rn. That's the best female lead from this century.
  • ONE game everyone should play: getting into videogames remains in my to-do list lol, but whenever I'm with my mother, the Rummy comes out. 
  • ONE fanwork everyone should read: I'm going to recommend A Bat and a Reporter Break Into a Warehouse by HMSLusitania, because it put the idea of a Lois Lane & Tim Drake team-up in my head and that's a WONDERFUL thought to have. 
  • ONE creator everyone should check out: my dear friend Camilla Andrew. She's an indie author whose books I've talked up here before. At the moment she has published the first two parts of a trilogy (with the third one scheduled for this year) about a delightfully doomed romance in an intricately built secondary fantasy world, a short novella/prequel about a harrowing tale of revenge, and a couple of short stories in magazines (one in that same world). She has beautiful prose and a varied array of superbly written female characters that always get to shine.
  • ONE community everyone should join: I'd recommend Get Your Words Out for writers, but it's too late to join in this year (there's always the next one). So I'll tell you guys to come around the Three Sentences Ficathon, where I just posted yet more prompts lol (page 20 :P).
  • ONE rec by myself: we've crossed the equator in the Cassandra Cain Week and I've posted four ficlets so far, of 100 (Stephcass), 200 (Barbara & Cass), 300 (Cassbrenda), and 400 words (Cass & Helena) respectively (I'm doing a Thing). Three more left! The ficlets that are left will be about Cass & Jason, Cass & Duke Thomas (as adapted to my new earth headcanons), and... Cass & Shiva. I'll crosspost a masterlist when it's done!
