Good stuff!

Sorry that I'm not around much - *am* reading my flist, as this list of recs hopefully demonstrates (it's only a fraction of the loveliness out there, but these were what struck me):

12daysspillyria, which is 4 years old now (HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?). Anyway, this is a fabulous, fabulous [Christmas] fic (and not Spike/Illyria as such, despite the title) written by bogwitch, calove and hesadevil. Go read, you know you want to! :)

Scarlet and Midnight by penny_lane_42 is completely different - a lyrical and haunting Spike/Buffy piece, AU post-'Becoming'. (The world is remade in shades of scarlet and midnight, and all that's left is each other.)

For those in need of a good laugh, I can recommend Vampires and the Women Who Love Them by st_salieri: What would happen if Buffy Summers, Bella Swan and Sookie Stackhouse sat down for a little chat with an inquisitive talk show host? (Did I mention how much I ADORE Buffy?)

Then a couple of vids, both by obsessive24:

Cuckoo is a fascinating and excellent study of Angel and Lindsey - gorgeously made and with a ton of meta too. As rich as expensive wine.

OMG! (Or: Fun With Companions) is a truly brilliant vid about the Doctor's companions. *SO* much fun and the Jack bits made me flail way, way too much. (You'll see! *g*)

OMG a second rec. Thank you so much. I'm so pleased people remember this story fondly.

Oh I *adore* this story and am v. happy that Caroline reminded me of it. Guess it's a proper classic now! :)

Thank you too.

The deceptive lack of Spike/Illyria would have been my fault.

I'm very proud of that story still (even if I did find a missing word error in it yesterday (in my bit too!))

[elisi]

It is totally my pleasure - especially since there are probably fans who're too 'new' to remember it! I feel it's my duty to point towards quality fic! :)

Heh. It's lovely just the way it is!

And so you should be!

That's the worst thing about looking through old stories...

I love your new banner-- very cool! Did you make it?

OMG was a great vid; thanks for the rec. Lilly Allen doing that song really through me though. I'm used to the Kaiser Chiefs version.

I should re-read 12 days. I remember really liking that back in the day!

Thank you and *sporfle*! I was looking at S4 Doctor who figures online yesterday with Impish Girl (Chriiiistmas is coming!) and came across that picture of the S4 collection. So I snagged. :) (I'd like a Who-themed Christmas layout, but haven't found anything. So toys will have to do. *g*)

It's still making me flail. (Didn't know the Kaiser Chief version, but might go check it out now...)

Same here! If only I can find the time. Might save it till after Christmas.
