I'm in a super happy mood right now; I just found out that my good friend M managed to get me a personalized copy of Kate Beaton's Hark! A Vagrant during her book tour. Thanks, M, for being awesome!

ladiesbigbang have started to post! Here's the posting schedule.
Atfancake this months's rec theme is science fiction. Would appreciate some femslash recs over there:
(is it also too much to ask for post-colonial sci-fi recs? Or f/f ghost in the shell works, since that's actually canon?)

Dragon Age: Redemption
Dragon Age: Redemption is a six-part web series set in the world of the EA/Bioware RPG Dragon Age. The series tells the story of Tallis, an Elvish assassin, who gets a last chance at redemption when she's sent to capture a rogue Qunari mage intent on wreaking havoc in the world.
The Mortal Kombat: Legacy series and the RCVR series (also part of the Machinima original series) seems to have better production values overall, but since only episode one has been released thus far, I'm still curious to see how far they might take it.
Recs
Glee
After the Glitter Fades by Vivi Dahlin (Rachel/Santana future!fic, warning: drugs, mentions of het sex and abuse)
"Four years after graduation, Rachel and Santana have made it to New York City. One is a singing waitress, the other an exotic dancer. Reunited by chance, they form a quick and unexpected bond that changes their lives drastically."
Dramatic and promising.
Alien bythelastgoodname (Quinn/Rachel)
"If they were truly serious, if they wanted to have a strong and stable relationship, if they wanted to be good parents to any potential hypothetical future Berry-Fabrays, then of course a few months of couples counseling was a good idea."
I love howthelastgoodname was able to show emotional dysfunction. It's so difficult to do, and many writers often overdo it. This depiction came across as carefully restrained and very much in character, for both parties.
