My podbang for deepforestowl is HERE! I read the Scholomance series by astolat, which was a delight. Very happy to share it now that it's posted :D

And I got a giftie! twilight_angel recorded one of my favorite J2's HERE.

There are also dozens of other awesome podfics being posted as part of podbang (I snagged almost all of the J2, SGA, and Sherlock ones), so I will have plenty of listening material for the next while. Woohoo for podfic exchanges!

Rather than grovel for not having been around during the holidays, I'm going to start the new year with a whole damn bunch of fandom love. First, a vid rec post for all of my favorites of 2007!

My 2007 Vid Recs by Fandom

( BSG, always first in my heart *g* )

( Supernatural, which I'm totally going to start vidding as soon as I get to start my Xmas gift card shopping spree! )

( Other fandoms: Whedon-verse and Harry Potter )

( And a little shameless self-pimpage, since 2007 was my first year as a vidder... )

Yay for vids :) If you saw or made something awesome in '07, comment and tell me all about it! Next up will be a Fic Rec list for last year, hopefully up in the next day or two.

This meta is brought to you by the letters M and F.

M is for Malfoy because this future!fic by cynthia_arrow has me thinking that a particularly nasty and villainous Slytherin might just make the hottest reformed-but-still-snarky bad boy evar. I've never really cared for Malfoy, in the books or films, and now I'm having the smutty type thoughts...

F for Faith because this vid by heresluck has been eating my brain with its amazing angsty and lush deliciousness for weeks now (plus it's to one of my favorite Tegan and Sara songs!).

I didn't like Faith at all at first when I started watching Buffy and now I luuuuuurve her. Just like I didn't like Starbuck at first, or Lex, or Sawyer, or Logan for that matter...or any of the other Obligatory Psychotic Jackasses (OPJs) that I seem to fall for eventually.

Which brings me to a pattern I have noticed over time regarding the characters I gravitate towards in my various fandoms. ( It goes something like this... )

Now my brain's all fuzzy. Now I kinda want to do a bigger J's Bad Girls and Boys of Fandom picspam... Well, here's hoping this meta has left you as thoroughly horny and conflicted as me :)

What about you guys? Any pathological fandom and/or attraction patterns you've noticed in yourselves?

( So, for the record, I cried three times... )

Really it is a damn good book and a very satisfying ending to the series.
