jasmasson

I backed up my LJ here May 2011 and now crosspost.

At the moment while I post on both I only read my LJ reading list, so if you'd like to be friends, please friend there as well: jasmasson. In the future, I'm looking to move to a DW reading list... but I'm not there yet!


♥

This post includes all recs in date order. Most Recent up the top. Each set of recs ordered by fandom and by genre (slash/gen etc). At the bottom are my top one (or sometimes two) fic(s) in every fandom I have ever read in.

EDIT: All I seem to do is rec these days, but OTOH I'm really not keeping this post up. I'll leave it here; basically it has old SPN recs up to May 2009 and my BEST FIC in each fandom I've ever read at the bottom, but for things post May 2009 you'll need to use tags.

In an effort to be helpful, therefore, here are the tag links to all recs, and things I rec regularly:

All Recs
Merlin Recs
Inception Recs
H50 Recs
SPN Recs

( SPN Recs to May 2009 )

( My top one fic ever in each of the fandoms I've ever read )

The Stop Online Priracy Act (SOPA) looks on course to pass later this month. The implications are pretty serious for internet users. The following quote shows who will be vulnerable to SOPA:

Although the House is supposed to be the mid-winter recess, representatives like House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) continue acting as lobbyists on behalf of SOPA's financers rather than acting on our behalf as elected representatives. Please help thwart the undue influence of media businesses who are trying to circumvent the will of the average American via SOPA. Fight SOPA and tell Congress they need a more effective, less destructive law to handle online piracy.

SOPA can and will effect fanworks and the sites that post and host them. People you know, art you admire, writing you've done, websites like AO3, YouTube, LiveJournal, Dreamwidth, InsaneJournal, Photobucket, Image Shack, Google, deviantArt, Vimeo, reddit- basically any website with user submitted content WILL be affected.

Websites without user submitted content (i.e. hulu, netflix, etc.) will be unaffected.

This means that the wild, adorable, terrifying, romantic, otherworldly, realistic, deeply personal, glamorous, infuriating, magical, poetic perspectives that we take on canon will be vulnerable to blocking and blacklisting, lawsuits and censorship.

I don't know about anyone else but I would sure miss you guys and your wonderful imaginations, talent and heart.

nrrrdy_grrrl has collected a lot of information on her journal. I strongly suggest you go over to her journal and take a look. Our internet world could be very seriously changed. And not for the better...

Here's hoping 2012 brings you only good things.



Also:

1) I rec'd The Social Network over December at the crack_van: 31 Mark/Edaurdo recs here

2) On that topic I have signed up for the tsn-a-thon at tumblr. Go Team Saverin! ;)

May only good things be yours at Christmas and for the New Year! <3

yuletide! \o/

I have definitely got my requests sorted (if I'm honest, I had them sorted more-or-less in January!) and they are here in my Dear Yuletide writer letter. They are 'Toy Soldiers' (1991 film), 'Disorganized Crime' (1989 film no one has ever heard of) and Robert Crais's Elvis Cole books. (OK, so I'm showing my age).

I keep second guessing my offers, though. I've done yuletide the past two years and enjoyed both times enormously. In those years though, definitely I was allocated the most 'mainstream' (it's all relative) fandoms I offered each time, and so I'm half inclined to keep to really wee ones to make it more of a surprise what I get. One of the 'big' fandoms I'm currently offering has a lot more offers than requests (although a high number of both) so perhaps it was just random chance I got such 'big' fandoms? IDK. I need an algorithm.

The first year I wrote The Mechanical Heart as my allocated fic, although I actually wrote four fics (the allocated fic, one pinch hit and two gifts), and it's one of the things I've written that I really liked. It was a Sherlock Holmes fic and that was just before the RDj/Jude Law movie came out (it came out Boxing Day that year). Of course, since that movie and the Sherlock series this fandom is very, very much too big for yuletide and so I got a lot of hits, comments (pre AO3 kudos button) and recs on that fic as it was a 'big' fandom, growing enormously exactly during that yuletide reading period. So I must not sadface if only one person reads my fic this year: such is a rare fandom fic exchange.

Remind me of that, won't you?

... gotta get em when you can!

I won something at the wicked_awards! Check out my sweet banner:



The fic's here, btw. I was pretty pleased. I wrote it back in 2004 and only archived it this year on AO3, without announcing it anywhere, and someone clearly spotted it and liked it enough to nominate, which is delightful.

ALSO, day one of mini_nanowrimo successfully completed. 230 words of James Bond/John Moneypenny fic so far, and the day's not over yet...

1) So. I'm on diigo. I know. I know. Deleting my delicious in a fit of pique was pique-y but whatever. New delicious sucks monumentally. Problem with diigo is, as we all know by now, they hate porn and lock all entries with sex/porn in them. I object, of course, but as I lock all my bookmarks anyway now, and they're only for me (since the anomalous and inexplicable time I decided to do my Inception recs on delicious) it'll do me. I'm waiting for AO3 to upgrade bookmarks to all sites sometime in the future. Sadly, pinboard is not free D: I'm really just waiting for nrrrdy_grrrl to tell me what to do.

2) FANDOM IS GETTING SO DISPERSED DDDD: LJ, DW, AO3, Tumblr and Twitter... I know I'm missing loads and now bookmarks will scatter, too. YOU ARE DESTROYING FANDOM with your pesky freedom of choice, interwebs...

3) There is a cupcake bakery in my office building. Admittedly I work in the centre of London so it's not like I'm not surrounded by food, but IN THE BUILDING is just not playing fair. On the up side, in my first 4 weeks of the diet I have lost 8 pounds. Only 20 to go. ;)

4) Is it sad to have already written my yuletide requests? It is, isn't it? I'm going very non-mainstream this year - in one of my three, I've never seen a single fanwork. I'm excited already...

I am not actually pimping this worldwide_spn fest (except for how, obviously, I apparently am) because SPN and I are still on the outs, I'm just pimping this fabulous banner, because it is perfection:



worldwide_spn
A fanworks challenge inspired by 50states_spn - but focusing on culture, traditions and myths from the rest of the world instead.
This is for non-American SPN fans to introduce the countries they come from - or simply for everyone to introduce a country they love.

What I am pimping is Teen Wolf because it is ALSO perfection (but in a very different way). Thanks novaberry! The boys are so pretty and the kink potential is off the charts. I am currently writing underage spanking bestiality gangbang dub-con. So. There's that?
