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*)

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

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

I should re-read 12 days. I remember really liking that back in the day!
Same here! If only I can find the time. Might save it till after Christmas.
