Snowflake Challenge #8 - Fanwork Recs

Challenge #8 - Rec at least three fanworks that you didn’t create. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So, I don't tend to keep fic bookmarks anymore, unless they were explicitly written for me. I'm the kind of person who remembers the basic plot of a book for years after reading it, and tends to migrate from fandom to fandom anyway, so I'm never going to revisit most of the fics I've read and loved. I leave kudos and sometimes comments; and if I do end up on a story I've read before, enjoy it again, and discover I've already left kudos, well, bonus! But of course this does mean I have a hard time giving fic recs; I can never remember where I found what.

But I do revisit other sorts of fan creations; so have a few recs for those!

The unofficial Firefly-Serenity Chinese Pinyinary. 95% of the Chinese I've ever used in my Firefly fanfics comes from this site. It appears to have been maintained and updated since 2002, at least through 2014, and includes a lot of promotional material and background detail in addition to the actual spoken Chinese in the series and movie.

Similarly, Red Hen Publications: Concerning the Potterverse. I don't agree with every conclusion this essayist comes to, but if you want to know where I got the initial impetus for Back Again, Harry? A good chunk of it came from reading the various analyses on this site, which has also been up since I was just starting out in fic. (I have the link handy because I'm due another reread after Chocolate Box, so I can *crossing fingers* actually get back to work on BAH).

Geocide: How to destroy the Earth, sometimes to cheer me up. Don't ask.

There are also a handful of fanvids I rewatch when I'm in a particular writing mood. They're mostly ancient; I haven't surfed for new ones in years. Let me see if I can track down the most recent links....

Firefly, Mal/River: The Body by obsessive24; also Signal to Noise by thedothatgirl

Harry Potter, Harry: The Boy Was a Puppet by Fabella; Snape: In Exchange for Your Tomorrows by lim

Fast and the Furious, family: good life by cant-fight-the-fanvid; Brian/Dom: MMM Papi by Talitha78; Brian-centric: Glad You Came by lilly_the_kid

Star Trek (2009), Kirk/Spock/Uhura: Apple Candy by Talitha78; All: I'm on a Boat by kiki miserychic; Spock/Kirk: Poker Face by Talitha78; team heist AU: Fortunate Days by Loki; and my fave, that unfortunately seems to be broken everywhere I look, the Kirk-centric Circus by Butterfly. (I was SO in love with this fandom until ID, *sigh*)

... and now that I've been digging into my folders, I'm hungry for vids again; I wouldn't mind a few more recent recs, just about any fandom I'm familiar with, if you have any favorites!
