The "playing games" theme gave me the idea for this rec set of vids about female athletes. I've skipped individual blurbs here but they're all fantastic vids about the power and persistence of the athletes and the moving highs and lows of defeats and victories in sports.

Content notes: all vids contain some amount of lights from camera flashes and/or the camera movement typical in live sports. Some vids have blurryness or other artifacts from older/transferred footage, in particular Diva and Tightrope.

Diva by runawaynun, Svetlana Khorkina - artistic gymnastics.

Fast Dina by ibSprintin, Dina Asher Smith - sprint distance track & field

Fight Song by gwenfrankenstien, Evgenia Medvedeva, Kaetlyn Osmond, Gabrielle Daleman, Karen Chen, Mai Mihara, Carolina Kostner - figure skating

Hall of Fame by E007y, Aly Raisman - artistic gymnastics

Lights Out by suzanne_f, Tokyo 2020 Olympics - artistic gymnastics

Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce Sprinting Montage by Athletic Productionz, Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce, sprint distance track & field

RAISE (a little hell) by thingswithwings, Team Chelsea Carey - curling

This was a great year for vids about women. Here are just a few of my favorite vids focusing on female characters since last Valentine's Day. (Obviously I'm leaving out a lot, so please feel free to add more links in the comments or post your own list if you think I've skipped something fantastic.)

Self-recs in various fandoms

So...I pretty much haven't been reading fic at all, and thus have no new recs to share, and I doubt I will before the 14th. :-/ Instead, here are all the fics I've written with female POV characters, all of which I consider reccable quality.

Bleach
The First Thing that Comes into Your Head
~200 words :: Ichigo/Rukia :: 5/26/07
One thing Rukia can never get used to is how much Ichigo studies. He really doesn't seem like the bookworm type, but even with taking over Rukia's Shinigami duties, he still manages to make time.

Home
200 words :: Rukia :: 12/29/06
Rukia is home and things are back to normal(ish), but for some reason, it's not as great as she'd thought it would be.

Brokeback Mountain
Rude Awakening
~500 words :: Alma :: 1/11/06
Her voice didn't break and she didn't say don't you wait for your prince, 'cause he ain't comin', or other things a four-year-old wouldn't understand.

Harry Potter
The Weight Upon Your Kiss Ambiguous
~900 words :: adult :: Lily/James, James/Sirius :: 2/5/08
Pregnancy hasn't made her a delicate flower; she's never been a delicate flower. Why can't James see that?

Sleeping Underneath Your Skin
~1900 words :: Ginny/Harry :: 5/31/08
There are a lot of things Ginny tries not to think about. If she told someone that, they'd probably think she meant the war, maybe especially sixth year. Or Fred's death. Or the whole thing with Tom Riddle's diary. Well, there are things she doesn't like to think about with the diary, but it's not what people expect.

Mina de Malfois
Dream Diary
~300 words :: Mina/Arc :: 12/24/06
Mina is typically clueless, especially when it comes to analysing dreams.

Nana
Pipe Dreams
~500 words :: adult :: Nana/Ren, Nana/Hachi :: 1/1/08
It's not the first time she's dreamed about Hachi like that. It doesn't mean anything. It's just dreams. Your mind does weird stuff.

Seinfeld
Another Drink
~1200 words :: George/Elaine :: 1/1/06
It's entirely possible this is the worst party Elaine has ever been to. Any party where the bulk of the evening is spent talking to George is by definition a bad party. You never know who you might pick up at a party, but it's hard to imagine anyone being worse than George.

Stargate: Atlantis
Different for Girls
~200 words :: Teyla :: 9/18/08
She remembers sitting high up on her father's shoulders, small hands fisted in a cloud of dark curls, her own hair braided so tightly it made her scalp ache.

Vampire Chronicles
If…
~1000 words :: Claudia :: 3/20/02
If I can't be happy then neither should they.

Everything Falls Apart
~900 words :: Claudia :: 3/25/03
Claudia realizes she's never going to grow up.

Yotsuba&!
Torako & Wrestling
~600 words :: Torako/Asagi :: 12/25/08
Asagi motions Yotsuba over and says in a stage whisper, "I hear Torako's weakness is tickles."

RPF
Sharing
~1100 words :: adult :: Dom/Elijah/Hannah Wood :: 2/13/06
Dom is the guy Hannah meets at college. Not the only guy, of course, but the one girls dream about in high school. The guy who'll sweep them off their feet when they're on the other side of the country, away from home for the first time in their lives. The One, even. Hannah is prone to fits of romanticism.

Christmas Morning
~200 words :: Jason Isaacs/Liam Neeson/Carrie-Anne Moss :: 12/24/06
Will is a bit OCD about opening his presents. (Set in the Establishment RPG universe, based on the storyline created by darkrosetiger and telesilla.)

Sibling Rivalry
~300 words :: Jason Isaacs/Liam Neeson/Carrie-Anne Moss :: 9/1/07
Carrie-Anne's pretty sure this is her punishment for being smug about how well the kids got along when they were little. (Set in the Establishment RPG universe, based on the storyline created by darkrosetiger and telesilla.)
