Recs: Yuletide 2008 recs

[harriet-spy.livejournal.com]

Of course, Yuletide has far too many stories for anyone to fully cover, but here are five I liked from this year featuring female characters:

nextian, we stared for hours in our makers' faces (Cloud Atlas) Sonmi, contemplating/unfolding the universe. Just as short as it ought to be.

Jin, Fools Rush In (Dexter) I like the supreme awkwardness and messiness of this one, as Deb attempts to have a conversation with LaGuerta after Doakes.

cmshaw, to hell with anything unrefined (Archy and Mehitabel) Mehitabel meets the suffragists.

Mweevil, Everything else is Homicide (Homicide: Life on the Street) Kay solves her most important case. A satisfying series-spanning fix-it.

allburning, Mnemurgist (Neuromancer) Ultra-ultra-creepy post-book look at 3Jane and Molly.


And an oldie but goodie,

Rheanna, A Thousand Words (Hellboy) Liz's first camera was a present from the professor.

Bad Wolf: Rose Tyler Fic Recs

[gwynevere1.livejournal.com]

Rose Tyler is one of my favorite television characters--one of my favorite fictional characters, period. I grow weary of seeing her subjected to the same sort of abuse by fandom that happens to far too many female characters. So, I wanted to put together a recs list where fans, instead of bashing, show just why she's so awesome.

( You were fantastic. )
