-I’m trying to talk myself out of buying a paid DW account for a few more months, if only because my PERMANENT IJ account currently gathering dust has taught me not to rush into those things. But…icons!

-Does anybody the approximate date for Merlin S2? I’m going through shiny teevee withdrawal.

-Two memes in a row might be bad form, but what the hell:

Everyone has things they blog about. Everyone has things they don't blog about. Challenge me out of my comfort zone by telling me something I don't blog about, but you'd like to hear about, and I'll write a post or comment about it. Ask for anything: latest movie watched, last book read, religious leanings, thoughts on yaoi, favorite type of underwear, graphic techniques, hairstyles, sports, etc.

Gen
A New Day by

kodiak_bear Summary: After Jim tells Bones to 'Buckle Up', where'd they go first? This is that mission. I didn’t realize how much I craved some general adventure fic before reading this. Engrossing, with elements of horror and humour mixed in and great portrayals of the crew-a must read.

A delightful and funny series of ficlets by

chaletian showing life on the ship after the movie from various character’s perspective: It Takes A Village, Birds Do It, Bees Do It, Even Post-Pubescent Russians Do It , Faites Vos Jeux // Rien Ne Va Plus and This Story Is Not Humorous .

Things Unsaid by

idea_of_sarcasm Summary: Four times Spock couldn't say 'I love you', one time he tried (and one time he did) Despite the summary and the fact it contains Spock/Uhura, I’m filing this under ‘gen’ as it is so much more than shippy fic. It’ll break your heart in the best way.

Spock/Uhura

A Series of Educational Experiences by

mekosuchinae Excerpt: His studies are insufficient to prepare him for the reality. Spock adjusting to leaving among humans, and how a certain perception shift among him might have come to be.

in her aspect and her eyes by

liviapenn Summary: Elementary logic leads to an obvious conclusion. Absolutely excellent Spock/Uhura pre-relationship interaction, with what is implied as present as what is actually said and a fantastic Spock voice.

Vids:
Stuck to You by

giandujakiss Kirk/Spock/Uhura Fun, energetic, flawlessly edited, I simply can’t stop watching this over and over. Fandom clearly needs more vids and fic of this OT3.

We Go Together by

such_heights It’s Grease meets Trek. And it really, really WORKS. Something about the movie seems to be bringing out unapologetic expressions of fannish love from vidders/writers, and I LOVE it!

BSG (aka, Not A Trek Rec)

The name of this story is your name by

beccatoria FINALE SPOILERS Summary: What if Caprica didn't actually die. Ever. This story is all kinds of epic. Chilling, original, absolutely engrossing…I don’t think I’ve ever read a BSG fic quite like this. Scratch that, I don’t think I’ve ever read a fanfic quite like this, period.

I never bought myself a paid account over on IJ, but I always saw it as a temporary solution. But here on DW, I bought a paid account as soon as they became available. Because, supporting DW! And also, icons, polls, more sites to crosspost to, etc, but mainly, supporting DW.

Hmm, what don't you post about? You don't post about... EU politics! Mwahahahaha!

No, you don't have to post about EU politics, if you don't want to. Write about Hermione/Snape instead. I'd like to hear more about your thoughts on that pairing (and your favourite fics, too).

EU politics? Glad you let me off the hook for this one, because it would be short...and boring! I'll do the SS/HG one when I get my thoughts together.

I'm seriously considering the DW account.
