10:56 am Edna & Edith by nepthys_uk (Rating : Green Cortina)
Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: none (slashiness implied)
Length: 3000 words approx over 3 chapters
Author on LJ: [profile] nepthys_ukAuthor Website: 

Why this must be read:


 A truly original viewpoint on the LoM characters.  Edna and Edith are the cleaning ladies at the Police Station - think (in nepthys_uk's own words) Les Dawson and Roy Barraclough or the Two Ronnies in drag.  

They have a refreshingly down to earth view of our dear boys and of life in general.

Enjoy!!!!

11:11 am Dinner Date by mikes_grrl (Rating : NC-17)

Fandom: LIFE ON MARS
Pairing: Gene/Sam/Missus
Length: 15,500 across 4 chapters 
Author on LJ: [personal profile] mikes_grrl
Author Website. Archived at her website or at [community profile] lifein1973 
Why this must be read: 


Well, it's a Gene/Sam/Missus threesome written by Mikey.  Is there anything more that needs to be said?  Not really, although, in what is basically a smutfest, Mikey still manages to instill such warmth and depth into her characters that you just fall in love with them all over again.

Beautifully and powerfully written and more than just a little bit PHWOAR!

05:39 pm Sanguine by lvs2read (NC-17)
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Mal/Simon
Author on LJ: [personal profile] lvs2read
Author Website: unknown

Why this must be read:

I now give you a rare find in the fandom for this pairing. Dom!Simon. Now keep in mind that it took some convincing for me to buy that Mal would give up that control. But she writes it well, with reasoning, from Mal's point of view. Simon is perceptive in reading what Mal wants/needs. Be warned, bloodplay.

06:38 pm Decline and Fall, by Elzed (NC-17), and Circumstance, by Elly427 (M)
Fandom: BATTLESTAR GALACTICA (NEW)
Pairing: Kara/Zak, Kara/Lee
Length: About 10K each
Author on LJ: [profile] elzed and [personal profile] elly427
Author Website: Elzed's is collected here, Elly's is here
Why this must be read:

Decline and Fall is a beautifully written AU/pre-mini fic that imagines Kara and Lee's first meeting and subsequent doomed attraction. It's richly characterized - Elzed captures Lee's perspective perfectly - lovely, tragic - just awesome. Circumstance is Elly's remix of Decline and Fall, and it completely lives up to the original. Told from Zak's perspective, it depicts him as a fully developed character in his own right, to devastating effect. Both of these can be read independently, but are so much better when read together. Just set aside an hour or so, and probably some Kleenex.

Tags: fanvid, fandom



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!
