face the strange

30 of my favorite books that I've read in the last 2 years - picspam for fandomverse

I shamelessly stole the idea for this entry from some people who entered before me, except these books aren't my all-time favorites, they're just my recent favorites. Though of course some of them are also my all-time favorites, especially those in the top rows. The books are listed roughly in order of how much I loved them, but it was super hard to decide, so in many cases the order could be different and it would still be right.

You're more than welcome to use this post as a rec post. :D The titles are Goodreads links!

Kara/Kat (BSG) rec post for thefandomzoo

This post can be (vaguely) spoilery for the whole show!

icons: 27
wallpapers: 3
fics: 5
fanvids: 2
fanmix: 1
tumblr stuff: 11

( ALL THE THINGS )

For tvrealm "My Guide to All Things _____" challenge. :D

Fics, icons, manips, fanvids, tumblr stuff AND MOAR! The requirement was 50 things, but it's way over 50. :D

Apparently the list of videos was easier to sort through than the list of fanfics. :P (If I don't make the Ana fanfic rec list tomorrow, I'll make it for the next fest! :>)

The list is not complete - there are some videos I can't find (probably deleted from youtube), some vids I have forgotten or missed, and probably some vids I haven't discovered yet. So if you have any other recs (or have made an Ana video yourself) link them in the comments! :)

I didn't want to put "the best" vids first because it's such a subjective opinion, so I put them in alphabetical order, but I put * next to the vids that I think are exceptional quality and/or totally gave me goosebumps. :D I can rec every single video on this list though!

They're all gen/character study. (I'm a hardcore Ana/Sawyer shipper, but most vids I had saved were made by Kaory and her whole account has been deleted... I might add the remaining Ana/Sawyer videos to this post in the future.)

I didn't originally plan to claim Shannon, but now you can make posts without claiming, so here is my rec list of Shannon fanfics! (I was going to do an Ana Lucia rec list, and maybe I will, but the Shannon part of the really old list of links was more tidy. :P)

Most links are from 2006 and early 2007, only a handful are newer. I hope to hunt down more (I know I read more, I just got lazy about saving links, or saved them to bookmarks on my two old computers, heh) and edit them in. When I discover new (or new to me) fics in the future I'll be adding them to the list too.

(If you have something to add, written by you or by someone else, comment with a link! :))

They're all gen fics, unless stated otherwise.

I sorted them by word count, from the shortest to the longest.

I'm gonna cheat here... kinda. ;)
I can't miss the chance to recommend goodsearch.com, this site is made of awesome. It's not only simply useful for you, it also helps any charity you choose yourself! :)
But since it's not the first time I'm writing about GoodSearch on this lj, I'm also gonna recommend iusedtobelieve.com. :D It's a site where everyone can write what you thought was true when you were a child. And you can spend hours reading and rating other hilarious beliefs. :D (Some of my beliefs are in top-rated, hee.)

(You know I really dislike plugging? *lol* But I really like when someone plugs something, so I can discover it... go figure. :D)

Music plugging:
Sunny Amoreena (think Alanis Morissette meets Enya - and be sure it sounds gooood.)
( the youtube video )
and the iTunes

And activism plugging:
Campaign Against Cambodian Child Sex Trafficking, very easy to take action, and you can do it here.
