I need to post this and then either shower or go running asap. Maybe both! WHO KNOWS.

So, okay, Yuletide! Here are four posts I would like to throw into conversation with each other: [personal profile] troisroyaumes' Yuletide Rant Repost, [personal profile] franzeska's The Highlight of the Fannish Year, [personal profile] dhobikikutti's Yuletide, AO3, and me, and [personal profile] bossymarmalade's brainstorming about possible alternative/supplementary exchanges. Go forth and ponder! Fanfic exchanges are not a zero-sum game; neither is fannish joy.

ETA: If anyone knows anyone who wants an AO3 invite for YT who hasn't yet emailed the mods, send them my way! I have a spare invite yearning for a recipient. /eta


Okay! Moving along, via Diane Duane on Twitter, Disney Sith princesses! Not quite as awesome as the superhero princesses, but pretty damn awesome all the same.

Via [personal profile] torachan, whose linkspam are awesome, [livejournal.com profile] sadynax has a quite awesome Sherlock/Holmes fanart, featuring movie!Holmes & Watson meeting BBC!Holmes & Watson crossed over with the Harry Potter-verse. The House sortings are ridiculously appropriate, so much is explained just by their scarves.

[personal profile] kuwdora just made an awesome Inception vid, "PASIV Face," featuring the ensemble set to a remix of "Poker Face." If you watch one Inception vid this season, it should be this one.


Moving along again, the awesome Cindy Pon is having an ARC contest for Fury of the Phoenix, the sequel to Silver Phoenix! And this one is specifically for fans of the book, because the entry submissions are…fanworks, and meta! The contest closes on 1 December; the page on CIndy's blog with full details is here, and let me take the opportunity to point you at [personal profile] inkstone's post about the same, which has further details about the ongoing experiment V. is corralling w/r/t these awesome books.

And finally, teaser trailer for Shinkai Makoto's new film, Hoshi wo ou kodomo!
