What brand of dvd player is the one vidders prefer? My birthday is coming up and I want to make that a gift idea.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

For the SGA readers: Your Cowboy Days Are Over, by M.
John Sheppard, post-Allies, in a place you'd never expect him. What do you give away and what do you keep, in order to protect your family?
Read it.
Bring tissues.
(And yes, I'm feeling a little ashamed that I didn't think the fandom would react as well as it has; this story is not anything like the stories that most people in the fandom seem to love. It's good to know that if it's good, it gets recognized.)

I'm not sure if it's what vidders in particular like, but one that's quite popular and very affordable is by Norcent. It plays a million file formats in addition to DVDs, so you could pop a data disc full of AVIs in without actually having to convert to DVD format. Try searching on Amazon for Norcent.

That's the one I'm looking for. I saw one on Amazon that played a bunch of different formats but not AVIs.
Also do you know if Vividcon is going to do the same thing they did last year for their dvd set?

I haven't heard anything about Vividcon DVDs yet, and I don't actually own a Norcent, so I am little help.

Norcent got a two star rating on amazon.com.
I found the Cyber Home while browsing, it got a three star rating but it had more reviewers and people either loved it or thought it sucks.
The Norcent plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, and VCD, as well as MP3 music and JPEG image CDs.
The Cyber Home plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD, CD-R, CD-RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3, and JPEG picture CD.
They are about the same price but I think I'm going to go with the Cyber Home just because the reviews are better.

How not to be hot:
Like hot satin, pressed so close and fitting so well, that he could feel her strange single pulse in her iliac arteries.

What is even happening?
Maybe it's written for vampires?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
"Cowboy Days" is really, really good. A bit of a wallow. But there is nothing at all wrong with that. I thought it was an excellent extrapolation from season two.
'Suela, did you mention this in here already? Because I got the link/rec from you. A Mirror For Observers, really freaking good SG1. And I feel like it's been a long time since I could put those works together. Long. Very long. But totally worth staying up to an obscene hour to read. One of the most well-fleshed stories I've ever read; the author surpasses probably the writers of the show itself with her knowledge of canon over the years, and her ability to bring it all together like I always secretly wanted. Can't reccomend this enough.
