Vidder: Chris Rule and Nick Eckert Musical artist: Caine Davidson; Richard and Robert Sherman Pairing: None Vidder on LJ: Unknown Vidder's website: moviemkerWhy this vid kicks ass: I have a gleeful love for songvids that are alternate movie trailers -- it's amazing how much difference the style of editing and a change of music makes! "Scary Mary" is the first one of these remixes I saw, and it's still one of my favourites. Brrrr. Julie Andrews is so unbelievably creepy in this. Scary Mary Poppins | | |

Fandom: GORGEOUS CARAT Pairing: Ray x Florian Author on LJ: Liriaen Author Website: http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1299605/liriaenWhy this must be read:This piece is an absolute delight from start to finish, taking the Gorgeous Carat characters and placing them in Renaissance Italy where we discover that Ray still has a passion for jewels and a warped sense of humor, Laila's cooking is still suspect and Florian's never been as naive or helpless as he appears to be. One of the best stories in this fandom. Accordo fra Gentiluomini | | |

Fandom: GREY'S ANATOMY Pairing: George O'Malley/Derek Shepherd Author on LJ: mardiaAuthor Website: mardiaWhy this must be read: George and Derek is one of the strangest pairing you could have and yet them together makes one of the best Grey's Anatomy story I've read. It swaps Meredith and George around and it does it well, I was entertained and amused the whole story. you may fall indeed | | |

Fandom: GREY'S ANATOMY Pairing: Addison Montgomery/Derek Shepherd Author on LJ: unknown Author Website: http://socalwriter.tripod.com/ Why this must be read: I'm not a huge Derek and Meredith fan, so don't expect to see any recs of the sort, but I am an Addison fan and well, a well done Addison story can really have me loving anyone, and that's not to say that I really like Derek but in this story he's okay. Or at least learning how to be okay and I wish upon this this is how they had done it on the show. Excerpt: She sighed, frustrated. "You said that you chose me. You said you wanted this marriage. I have given you out after out, and you stayed. So all I'm doing, Derek, is asking you to mean it. I can accept that you care about Meredith, even if it crushes me to think that my husband of 11 years could run off and... and fall for some stranger in a matter of months, no matter what I did to you. But all right... you care for her. But you chose me. And if you didn't mean it... if you don't want me, the person standing here right now... then damn it, you need to admit it, because I can't do this anymore. I just... I can't do it anymore."

Your Numb3rs reccer fell off the van and had to go crawl under a blanket and blow her nose repeatedly for a week, apologies for the absence. Thought I'd have a chance to do Crossover day yesterday, but it turns out the story I was going to point you at, dsudis's Classified, had already previously been recced. Damn my redundancy! I'm checking out Numb3rs/Supernatural crossovers now. Not that I am trying to find crossovers between our wee tiny fandom and the goliaths of fandom to bring in more fans. No no no. | | |

Here, have a proper rec (if not a collision): Fandom: NUMB3RS Pairing: Don/Charlie Author on LJ: dsudisAuthor Website: Words, Words, WordsWhy this must be read:I love all of dsudis's Numb3rs fic (and there's a lot of it! and not all incest, E-chan!) but this is one of my favorites. I love it for treating Charlie as special, because he's not like everyone else, you know? Charlie's a pretty well-socialized genius, but smart people often have odd coping mechanisms, and in this story, one of his is that under enough stress, he can't talk. ( quote )Also, Don is quite possibly the best big brother anyone could ever have. *squishes him* Dumbstruck. | | |

Fandom: FAKE NEWS RPF Pairing: Stephen/Anderson, Jon Author on LJ: dream_aloudAuthor Website: dream_aloud's memoriesWhy this must be read:Inertia is a multi-chaptered fic in Stephen's narrative. It showcases Andy's vulnerability of getting too close to people and Stephen's desire to open him up. While the dialogue is fantastic and the Jon-Stephen friendship is portrayed realistically, what I love about this most is that it's about two normal people falling in love, starting from when they first meet and detailing their journey from there.

Fandom: SLINGS AND ARROWS Pairing: none; Geoffrey and Anna gen Author on LJ: sdwolfpupAuthor Website: Wolfpup Serenade; other S&A stories via her tag on the S&A links delicious page Why this must be read: Anna = Awesome. So I'm reccing a ficlet, and not only that: a commentfic. But - it's Anna. I can hear her voice as I read this, and Geoffrey's too. This tiny storylet feels like canon, a little slice of the relationship between Anna and Geoffrey, with interesting echoes of Anna's relationship with Richard. In fact, it's a lot like one particular canon scene between Anna and Richard - but the differences are what make it meaningful. No excerpt - it's only about 550 words.

Step one to the Twilight fandom: Put all your other Vampire mythology away. In Stephenie Meyer's vampire-verse, they don't die from sun exposure, your stake would shatter if you tried that method, beheading them is nice, but they can be put back together, garlic doesn't so much as make them sneeze, and one of them has a big ol' penchant for Jesus. Hence, crosses? Not a problem. ( Read more... ) | | |

Hi, I'm Kate and I'll be your Twilight reccer for this month. I'm sorry I had such a late start, but I had more work than I anticipated this month and so I haven't had time to rec until now. I am completely, totally Team Switzerland, so expect a lot of both Edward/Bella recs and Jacob/Bella recs. Hope you guys enjoy the stories! Fandom: TWILIGHT Pairing: Edward/Bella Author on LJ: lavitaestbellaAuthor Website: seededwombWhy this must be read:There is a common practice in Twilight fanfic to make Bella an idiot, Jacob a jerk (and sometimes a rapist) and Edward a perfect, sappy hero. This story doesn't do any of that. It's completely in-character and has some nice Edward/Bella moments with actual plot. This takes place right after Eclipse ends, and if this is what happens in Breaking Dawn, I will be very pleased. All My Light, All My Dark | | |

Fandom: Lord Peter Wimsey Pairing: Gen Author on LJ: adina_atlWhy this must be read: It’s a Wodehouse/Wimsey crossover, and a delight from start to finish. Sayers never wrote the tale of Lord Peter’s first case, in which he solved the mystery of the Attenbury Emeralds and also met the young Detective Inspector Parker. Happily adina_atl has taken on the formidable task and given us not only one of the few Wimsey-fics of any notable length, but something clever, funny, and beautifully in character. Oh, and with Jeeves and Bertie Wooster, too. ( What ho! ) | | |
