02:34 pm Ladies Man: The Dark Knight by joandarck (PG)
Fandom: DUE SOUTH
Pairing: The Ladies' Man/Captain Canada (who bear a striking resemblance to Ray Kowalski and Benton Fraser. In spandex.)
Length: 575 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] joandarck
Author Website: List here or check out the tags in her LJ
Why this must be read: Because your life is sadly and tragically incomplete if you haven't read it lately. TRUE FACT. A due South comic book AU (some might say) this storyboard for an upcoming issue of the comic book series The Ladies' Man: Dark Knight brilliantly describes the emotionally intense first meeting of those two great heroes, The Ladies' Man and Captain Canada. WHAM! BOOM! *hearts*

Joan nails the genre, the voices, the formatting, and for all this I am truly and profoundly grateful. Because this is awesome, sneaky, hilarious, absolutely adorkable, and entirely made of win.

04:05 pm Blair Sandburg's Healthy Active Fantasy Life by Mab Brown (AO-S)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Pairing: Blair/Jim Blair/FCC
Length: 2K words
Author on LJ: [personal profile] mab_browne 
Author Website: Mab’s Fanfic  or at ASR3 archive

Why this must be read:   Because in the midst of winter, a nice hot story hits the spot. Or, if you’re sweltering south of the equator, there’s a shower scene!

 

In 2007, there was a fund-raising anthology called Donate An Orgasm for Moonridge. It focused on stories about “sentinel-sized orgasms”, so of course was Jim-centric. In 2008, “Donate” centered on Blair, affectionately nicknamed the Guppygasm Anthology. Mab’s story comes from this collection.  We all know that Blair’s got a fertile imagination. It’s gratifying to read that it extends to his sex life! *bg*

Over the last months, other stories from the anthology have been popping up all over. If you’re interested in more, look behind the cut.
 

Check these guppygasms out! )


 

UPDATE:  As of September 2009, the entire anthology, including artwork, can now be found in two places.  The 852 Prospect archive and the Artifact Storage Room 3 archive.  Here are the links:

Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: Zoe/Inara
Length: 2561 words

Why this must be read:

Because it is bitter and sad and angsty and hot, all at the same time. Because Firefly f/f is a rare and precious thing. Because although there is no doubt that Zoe will continue to live well as a whole and complete person, post-StM, it is nevertheless worth reading stories in which she allows herself the luxury of displaying grief. And because it is well written and enjoyable, natch.

04:52 pm Pizza is Overrated by misanthropretty (PG-ish)
Fandom: POPSLASH
Pairing: Justin/Chris
Length: 1,800
Author on LJ:

Why this must be read:
Because it's like a perfect AU concentrate - relatively short, but just packed with awesomeness and snark. :)

Chris knew, without a shadow of doubt, that a proper second-hand bookstore needed to be small and dingy. He knew it needed erratic opening hours, semi-audible classical music (although talk radio was an acceptable alternative) and disgruntled staff who resented the very idea of making a sale. He knew, furthermore, that all such stores must be owned by short, grumpy misanthropes with egos roughly the size of Russia. Now it may have been the Russian ego thing, but Chris was pretty damn confident that he owned a pretty damn good bookstore, thank you very much.

The only problem - and it was a very tiny problem, really, just a small deviation from Standard Bookshop Protocol - was Justin.

06:55 pm Friday Night Drive-in!
Attn. Drivers: Tomorrow 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:

Why this vid kicks ass:

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!

    11:23 pm Family (The Road Home Mix) by Inalasahl (PG)
    Fandom: FIREFLY
    Pairing: Mal & Zoe
    Length: c 1470 words
    Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] inalasahl
    Author Website: Troublesome Little Nook
    Why this must be read:

    This is Mal POV on pre-series Mal and Zoe - punchy and efficient storytelling detailing a relationship where so much more is understood than is ever said. It's a story about friendship and chosen family, which starts on Shadow, and ends on Serenity, and is full of keen character observation. Also, it is funny:
