Yuletide recs!

[deense]

Yuletide recs! Just a few as I'm off watching Doctor Who and the archive is being patching.

I'll get to tv later, with the exception of my gift fic. This is comics, books and movies. :D

First there's my gift:
Now You See Me, Now You Don't
Warehouse 13, it's a Claudia-centric adventure, and it's absolutely perfect. Pete and Claudia are sent to investigate a ghost town, and things turn out- Well, just as you'd expect them. Well crafted story, great character voices and a lot of fun.

COMICS

Turnabout - Birds of Prey/Secret Six. Helena Bertinelli and Thomas Blake. What more could I ask for? NOT MUCH, I tell you!

Of Shopping, Sleuths and Sharpies. Batgirl - a Steph and Wendy story with a bit of Nick that is just fun. A very good read, it captures Steph very well.

The Alot, The Tuit, Mrs. Gradgrind, Sophie and Me, Allie Hyperbole and a Half. Really, really awesome. I want to see this illustrated. LONG LIVE THE ALOT AND TUIT!

Relative Terms (or, Not Exactly Christmas Elves) Young Avengers. Christmas gifts gone wrong. A very sweet and very amusing Teddy and Billy story that features the others as well.

BOOKS
Ramona's Law of Reciprocal Actions. Or Ramona Quimby Age 17. It's awesome. Go read it. The writer's canon knowledge is amazing as is the story.

All I Really Need to Know I Learned from Science Fiction. Girl with the Silver eyes was a book I adored as a kid. I read it over and over. This story of the kids in a normal school is a lot of fun.

MOVIES
On Dover Beach History Boys (Adult). I have a huge soft spot for Dakin and Scripps. I love this story from Scripps' pov and I love that Dakin is still just as much a brat and not softened up for this fic.

Shadows History Boys. This is a lovely Dorothy Lintott and Scripps story set post movie. Really worth the read.

Bonnie Without Clyde Fast and Furious. Tells the story of how Brian and Letty came to work together in the fourth movie.

Here via Yuletide recs.

You noticed the Brian O'Connor/O'Conner thing too? I went to tag a TF&TF fic on A03 and couldn't find Brian's name. I checked IMDB and realized almost everyone in fandom was spelling his last name wrong! I am fairly sure I changed it in my story before I posted.

A 'more you know' moment, so glad to know I am not the only one who saw it. :)

Hullo there!!

Heh, good to know I'm not alone :) it's a silly thing to headdesk over, but i've been called a silly girl.

There are so many fnf fics this year. It's awesome and I can't waut for more time to go through the rest.

"Girl with the Silver Eyes" - I didn't know anyone who had ever read this book. oooh. Thank you for posting the recs (I'm dashing off to read it - without reading any of the rest of your recs)

This is why I love yuletide. Finding people who love what you love and remembering awesome source material you'd totally forgotten about.

Umm...O'Conner is the way both IMDb and Wikipedia have it listed. I remember being miffed to find it spelled that way, but it's the spelling I've adopted since then. Great list of recs!

In the end, I' m going to bow to the wisdom of IMDB. If they call it conner, who am I to argue?

[senmut]

+laughs+ Yeah, just went and looked. 2Fast says -or, which is the way I expect. The other one with his name is -er. +rolls eyes+ You know, you'd think franchise owners would settle on those kind of details, right?

[deensey.livejournal.com]

I would, but who am i to expect such things?? ;)

Hi! So, I can't direct-message you, and you don't have your e-mail listed in your profile, so I'll just leave an entirely unrelated comment on your journal.

I'm Brandi, I won the Aussie care package (http://community.livejournal.com/foresthouseeyes/31558.html?thread=361798#t361798) at your foresthouseeyes auction. I've sent off my payment, so if you could e-mail me or something (brandied.plum@gmail.com), I could send you my address for the package. :)

Thank you!

Shall do!
