Since I'm supposed to be spending this time doing aaaaall the things, here is a procrastinatory post! I just wanted to rec a few of my favourite fandom things from 2011 - bearing in mind that I will probably forget a lot of things and the list will be weighted in favour of the last few months, but yes, anyway, here is some awesome stuff that I liked this year!

Fic:

Sanity Will Be Graded on a Curve (M*A*S*H) - BlueMorpho - I don't read a lot of M*A*S*H fic these days, but this wowed me. I suspect it's probably still quite interesting even if you don't know the show, but it especially is if you do!

I Get That Line All the Time (Star Trek) - Thistlerose - OK, so, this one's cheating a bit because it's a remix of my own fic, but I love the way Thistlerose took the brief scenario I'd written - Uhura and Lily Sloane meeting - and ramped the awesome up to eleven.

Mutual Attraction (Star Trek) - Oparu - I. Just. Lwaxana Troi. And Kate Pulaski. This story makes me ridiculously happy.

Theoretical Principles (Star Trek) - sophiegrace - This story not only has one of my favourite pairings (Seven/B'Elanna), in it they work exactly the way I see them working - they're funny and snarky and hot and adorable.

Before I Go (Star Trek) - carawj - Yeah, I know she's my girlfriend but Cara writes awesome fic. Doctors! Worf impressions! Enjoyable drunkenness! :D

Vids:

Born Too Late (ST: DS9) - Bironic - This vid is the soundtrack to my life right now. It is absolute perfection when it comes to the folk of DS9 being adventurey and teamy and wonderful.

If You're the Captain (ST:VOY) - thingswithwings - I giggle every time I watch this because it so perfectly explains the way Captain Janeway and her crew work.

Suddenly I See (Firefly) - purplefringe - This is just a ridiculously lovable and joyful and sweet Inara/Kaylee vid and it makes me smiiiiile.

Suzanne (Doctor Who) - such_heights - Of all the flurry of Doctor/TARDIS stuff that came out this year, this for me is the one that feels the most true. It's the perfect mixture of wistful and loving and delighted.

Christmas in the Delta Quadrant (ST: VOY) - touchdownpossum - This is just super-cracktastic, awesome Christmas fun!

Watched Is There in Truth No Beauty? last night and I’m still not done laughing. What it must be like to be in Captain Kirk’s brain:

‘This attractive woman is somehow resisting my ham-fisted romantic overtures... she must have crippling psychological issues that can only be overcome by me slandering and attempting to strangle her!’

The shocking thing is that it seems to work. Without that final scene where she thanks him, this is a story about a bunch of sex-crazed idiots who harass a perfectly normal lady while she’s busy trying to be all sciencey and stuff, and then do fatally dumb things because she tries to politely inform them that she’s not interested. I think Kirk probably gave her concussion in that Sickbay scene and that’s why she ends up acting like he’s done her some sort of favour.

Seriously, if you take out the dumb IDIC part which is only in there because GR wanted to sell the pins as merchandise, she doesn’t do anything even remotely objectionable – the business with Spock is reasonable professional jealousy and although the scream is a bit much, she’s bound to be worried when it’s so crazy dangerous and she’s invested so much time and effort working out how to do it properly and Spock, for all that he was offered the job before her, didn’t then go on to do all the research and prep that she presumably did.

So yeah, I kind of want to make my own cut of this episode so that it’s more win…
