Some stuff I've been meaning to rec for a while (time! that damn elusive thing. One more week and I have a lovely 2 week break).



Communities


The awesome [livejournal.com profile] crack_impala rec site is back! Isn't it weird how you get to truly appreciate something when it disappears?! We'll it's back - and in style! It gives me heart that, even though LJ is quieter than it used to be, it's still around there are reasons to still be here.

I signed myself up to do some community recs for the other wonderful reccing site [livejournal.com profile] rocksalt_recs but failed rather miserably because I couldn't get my act together to rec all the comms I wanted to in time. I managed to rec three comms ([livejournal.com profile] all_spn, [livejournal.com profile] spn_bigpretzel and [livejournal.com profile] spnnightcrawler) but I had some more planned. Namely these:

[livejournal.com profile] spn_ontheset ([livejournal.com profile] raloria has just announced that she won't be posting any new pics to the comm but it will remain open. If you love seeing behind-the-scenes pics (me me!) then it's worth taking a look anyway).

[livejournal.com profile] spnroundtable. This community is much quieter than it used to be but it's still an amazing comm. SO much awesome stuff posted there. Be sure to check out the tags. I recommend "ask the..(author, artist, vidder)", "workshop" and [livejournal.com profile] bertee's fantabulous picture posts.

[livejournal.com profile] spnkink_meme. Delicious kink for those who love it!

[livejournal.com profile] spnstoryfinders. A very well organised comm (the tags are key!). A great way to find a lost fic or finding a particularly type of story that you need to read now.

And my favs - [livejournal.com profile] ohsam for all your hurt!Sam needs and [livejournal.com profile] hoodie_time for hurt!Dean. ;D

And I have to rec that's very close to my heart - [livejournal.com profile] spn_littlebro because the work the other mods do on that site blow me away. <3


Vids:

I am pretty sure you would have all seen [livejournal.com profile] counteragent's wonderful Sam focused vid Radioactive, but in case you haven't I recommend you take a look. This is an important vid, highlighting Sam's possession and lack of body control trauma. It's come at a particularly poignant time in the SPN saga. Sam doesn't get much of a chance to reflect on all the shit that happens to him - luckily we can. Skilfully edited and constructed.

If you want a fantastic perspective on Dean then [livejournal.com profile] volta1228 video, Worthy, is a must watch. It beautifully captures the multilayers of Dean Winchester. I don't think I've seen text used this way before either.

And if you want a vid that looks at both brothers then take a look at [livejournal.com profile] superkitte's vid Flames. A gentle video that examines this messed up, but full of heart, relationship.


Fic:

I haven't read nearly enough fic lately. I have quite a few book marked and I will hopefully get to them this holidays. I did just finish reading the WONDERFUL WONDERFUL Restraint by [livejournal.com profile] emeraldsedai (Dark Emeralds). I listened to the podfic AGES ago and I was waiting for the last instalment. It never happened and it slipped my mind. Well, I had a light bulb moment and went back and read to the end and absolutely LOVED, LOVED IT! A truly remarkable achievement. If you haven't read this do yourself a HUGE favour - curl up one evening with a warm beverage (or port) and bury yourself in this historical, warm, adventurous, highly entertaining J2 AU.



And if you love the AO3 (which I figure MANY MANY do as there are now over ONE MILLION works posted there \o/), you might consider donating to help keep this brilliant site going.

LOL!

Yes, I crosspost to LJ from <a href="http://darkemeralds.dreamwidth.org/>Dreamwidth</a>--comments open in either place--and I'm always so happy to "meet" new people around here. It's only fair to warn you, however, that my journal is kind of everyday life-based these days and only marginally fannish. I still love SPN and the fandom, though!

Ooooh, thanks for the delicious recs! And I agree, isn't it wonderful to have Crack Impala back in business? :)

Thank you so much for the rec of [livejournal.com profile] spn_ontheset. ♥ :)

Everyone's been so great and understanding about why I've had to shut it down. But I promise if I find more new BTS pics it WILL be back!
