07:41 am Noises At Dawn by Fanny Adams (NC-17)
Fandom: THE PROFESSIONALS
Pairing: Bodie/Doyle
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dargie
Author Website: None
Why this must be read: I love how this story combines the pragmatic with the romantic. We see Doyle learn some truths, sort of file them away, but not be overly concerned about them. But when he does decide to push on to the inevitable next step, the story makes a 180º turn. Now, it's important and emotional and just lovely.

10:42 am California by Schuyler (PG)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: JC/Joey
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] schuyler
Author Website: Highpop
Why this must be read: Written for the Slash Across America challenge, this story puts JC and Joey in the redwood forests of Northern California. On this date, they bring along Joey's daughter Brianna. I'm a sucker for stories with JC and Joey's baby, and there is a beautiful sense of quiet throughout. It's just three paragraphs, but every word is well placed.

11:32 am Stacked by Synchronik (PG-13)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Joey/Lance
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] synchronik
Author Website: Joe's Eats and Christian Bookshop
Why this must be read: Joey turns into a girl! Oh, and he's stacked and a size 16. The best part about this story is how Joey uses his transformation to propel himself to more fame and how Lance deals (or doesn't deal) with it. Oh, and Nathan and Theresa are back, as bitchy as ever.

Attn. Drivers: Today is the last Friday of the month, which means it's time for Friday Night Drive-In, a.k.a. Fan Vid Recs. Reccers may post 1 vid rec for their fandom, formatted as follows:

Subject Line: VID REC: Fandom - Song Title

Vidder:
Musical artist:
Pairing:
Vidder on LJ:
Vidder's website:
Why this vid kicks ass:


Because the vidder community has some unique ownership issues, it’s important that reccers be extra careful when making vid recs. Depending on the vidder’s preferences regarding public access to their work, please link your rec in the appropriate manner:

1. If the video is publicly accessible, direct link to the web page the vid is linked on, or if it’s the vidder’s request, to the HTML splash page of their site.

or…

2. Link to the site with instructions on acquiring the password, if the site is protected – do not reveal the password yourselves.

or…

3. Provide contact info for the vidder if their vids are only available privately (tapes, dvd-R’s, collections, etc.).


Do not:
Hotlink, i.e. link directly to the video file rather than the webpage.
Re-upload videos that a vidder has removed from the web.
Delay in removing a vid rec if requested to do so by the vidder.

Thank you!

02:49 pm Restless by Widget (NC-17)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA 2003
Pairing: Kara/Lee
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] widget285
Author Website: The Widgeteria
Why this must be read: This is a long, interesting working out of the tension between Kara and Lee at the start of season 2. Widget's work is always enjoyable, and this is my new favourite. "Restless" has a great opening, but then the story just gets better and better, not to mention hotter, as it goes along.

02:54 pm Heart of Darkness by dogpoet (NC-17)
Fandom: SMALLVILLE
Pairing: Clark/Lex
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] garryowen
Author Website: Dogpoet's Ramblings
Why this must be read: It's Superman. No, it's Tarzan. No wait... it's Superman *and* Tarzan melded into one! With exotic adventure! And hot jungle sex! Dogpoet does such a good job of this long, plotty story--it's one of the most entertaining and action-packed AUs I've read in this fandom.

Heart of Darkness

Well, that's it for me this month, folks. I hope you've had an enjoyable ride. If you've liked my recs, you can find more at my personal multi-fandom rec journal, [livejournal.com profile] rec_room.

04:46 pm VID REC: Lord of the Rings - Middle Earth English 101
Vidder: Muse
Musical artist: N/A
Pairing: N/A
Vidder on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] dlady_muse
Vidder's website: There And Back Again
Why this vid kicks ass: This is not strictly speaking a music vid (although there's a little classical going on in the background), but a funny and very crass comedy monologue regarding the F word set to some surprisingly apt LotR moments. Be prepared to snort inappropriate liquids from your nose.

07:48 pm The Happiest Place on Earth by Karri (PG-13)
Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairings: Billy/Dom/Elijah
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] karri
Author Website: LJ memories
Why this must be read: As AUs go, this story is both a funny, bantery little slice of 'what if?' and a disturbing vision of 'there but for the grace of PJ'. Three thwarted actors find themselves mouthbreathing in animal costumes at Disneyland and making the best of it they can. It really is a small world after all.

07:50 pm Drink Number Nine by Beizy (NC-17)
Fandom: LOTRIPS
Pairings: Billy/Dom/Elijah
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] beizy
Author Website: Under Your Skin
Why this must be read: This is a lovely hot fucksome trio PWP in which tipsy Elijah, having mocked Dom and Billy's dance moves, is dragged into their bed to discover for himself just how coordinated they can be. I really am fond of a fic like this that can utilise all the delicious logistical awkwardness, humour and passion of a first time threesome.
