The Mayor ,'End of Days'
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
Due to the size of the project, sometimes big fandoms slip through. Usually it's a fandom that the mainstream Yuletide crowd isn't familiar with, which is a problem with anime, cartoons, and comics, sometimes. A year or two ago, Fruits Basket made it in, for example.
There are over 6,000 fics for it on ff.net.
And I've tried looking there for Avatar fic, but left screaming every time.

A perfect example of quantity =/= quality. A lot is posted at avatar_fans over on LJ, but that place is, quite frankly, scary. I've been posting some stuff over on avatarfic, and have found a few good things there as well.
Another Yuletide Rec:
Make You Own Kind of Music (Beautiful Thing) [link]
This makes me want to run out and buy the movie and watch it over and over.

I'll have to check it out, Anne!
Man, Yuletide has got all kinds of fic I wouldn't even have thought to look for! I found a Zenna Henderson "People" fic. And it was very, very good. Oh, how I've missed new People stories. So good to find one and so well done, too.
Since work is most likely going to be dead dead dead tomorrow, I may be able to relax my rule about no-fic-at-work and catch up on some of these excellent recs.
Now, I *was* a little aghast that The Office US turned out to qualify, since it's quite a healthy-sized new fandom with its own newsletter and fanfic archive and so forth. I suppose it's not in the collective fannish radar yet. Not that I'm complaining, because the stories posted are lovely.
I was quite pleasantly surprised too. Good stuff all around.
There's just so much to read. And then you come across a story that is just everything you wanted from the text and more, and it's like a gift just for you. Well, you and all of fandom.
Anyone have Supernatural vid recs?
There's a fun one to BNL's One week, though I don't have a link handy.
askye, Barkley did a good one to "November Rain" by Guns & Roses. There is loving dissection of the Dean whales the everliving tar out of his beloved Impala sequence in that one.
She also did one with Rod Stewart as the music, uhhh, "Seems Like a Long Time"? But I am not currently in the headspace that can admit Rod Stewart into the pantheon of viddable musicians, so I like to pretend that one doesn't exist.
