The big link post

For those who care more about fiction published on paper: a quick link to all my posts about books!

For an explanation of fandom and our language, go here!

This post is for those who already speak fangirl: it has shiny links to my favorite fandom hangouts (bookmarks) and recommended stories (recs). Plus as a bonus: pictures of the happy couples to illustrate the squee:)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer (and Angel)
I was introduced to fanfiction by the BBC-messageboard on Buffy The Vampire Slayer; my first slash pairing was Angel/Spike. I love them even more when Buffy is in the mix. And the best part? It's totally canon. Thank you, Joss.
Buffy-recs & Buffy-bookmarks & Picture of Angel & Spike!

CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
But it wasn't until after I discovered the CSI-fandom that I really got into fanfiction. I'm a big fan of Nick/Greg (my OTP), because of the subtext-chemistry in canon (I'm a believer!). I also enjoy Nick/Gil and Greg/Gil and even Nick/Gil/Greg (OT3!). Smart guys are such a turn on:) CSI-recs & CSI-bookmarks & Picture of Nick & Greg

Harry Potter
I used to think books didn't need an addition, since we can already read what the characters are thinking. But when I found Harry Potter fanfiction I learned there is a lot more to tell about Remus/Sirius.
Potter-recs & Potter-bookmarks & Picture of Remus & Sirius!

Hornblower
I love rule 34! After watching miniseries Hornblower I just knew there had to be fanfiction about Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Kennedy (with or without Capt. Pellew;).
Hornblower-recs & Hornblower-bookmarks & Picture of Horatio Hornblower & Archie Kennedy!

RPS: J2
Most recently I crossed another line: RPS (real person slash). I had secretely read some CSI-RPS before, but always felt a little dirty. Not so much when I discovered CW-fanfic. I'm especially a fan of Jensen/Jared (J2).

Random fandom
Occasionally I try other fandoms. Here are a couple I liked: (Links to recs)

Due South: Fraser/Ray Kowalski

Bad Wolf On Campus: Merton/Tommy

The Forsaken: Desert Vampires Nick/Sean (rare fandom for obscure vampire-movie with Kerr Smith and Brendan Fehr, who also star in RPS-fic;)

Doctor Who: Mickey/Jake

BOOKS: Emily the Strange - Rob Reger & Buzz Parker

Series: Emily the Strange
Book 1: Emily's Book of Strange
Book 2: Emily the Strange - Seeing Is Deceiving
Author: Rob Reger & Buzz Parker
Genre: graphic novella
Publisher: Chronicle Books 2001/2003
Pages: Hardcover 32
Language: English
Rating: 8/10
Summary: Images in black, white and red with glossy highlights show cartoongirl Emily giving her point of view on life

Spoilerfree Review
I'm of course years behind discovering Emily the Strange, I understand she was all the rage in the nineties (of the last century;) I did see her around on buttons and shirts, but wasn't aware there were books. When I saw these books in the bargain bin, I was intrigued by the awesome graphic design. The use of colour and space is amazing and more interesting than the so called insights in text. But because I love seeing series on my bookshelfs, I'll probably add other parts if I find them.

BOOK: The Three Incestuous Sisters - Audrey Niffenegger

Title: The Three Incestuous Sisters
Author: Audrey Niffenegger
Genre: Visual Novel (art)
Publisher: Random House (2004)
Pages: Hardcover, 176
Language: English
Rating: 8/10
Summary: A novel in pictures about three sisters and their complicated relationship with each other and the man that shows up in their lives.

Review
Now Audrey Niffenegger is worldfamous for her novel The Time Traveler's Wife, but before she wrote that, she designed this huge artbook with a story, that she made and published with her friends. It's been rereleased after her breakthrough, but still hard to find. I'm glad I found it in a bookstore while I was in Iceland.
The illustrations cover the whole of the right page, while on the left are a few lines of text. The paintings have a primitive style and limited colours, which add to the gloom and doom of the story about the three sisters who fight to the death after a man comes into their lives.
I didn't catch the incestuous part of the title, but it is a rather messy story. All in all it fits with the Niffenegger books I already owned; stories about women who know what they want.
I like it.

BOOK: The Five People You Meet in Heaven - Mitch Albom

Title: The Five People You Meet in Heaven
Author: Mitch Albom
Genre: Fiction
Publisher: Sphere, 2003
Pages: Paperback, 208
Language: English
Rating: 8/10
Summary: Eighty-three year old Eddie dies and ends up in heaven, which is quite different from what he imagined.

Spoilerfree Review
Earlier I reviewed Mitch Albom's autobiographical debut Tuesdays with Morrie and you may remember that didn't really appeal to me. But at the end of that book there was a preview of the first chapter of his first novel and I was charmed by that, so I decided to give the author another chance.
The Five People You Meet In Heaven begins with the tragic death of Eddie, the mechanic of a small amusement park on a pier. He wakes up in heaven, where he -indeed- meets five people. Each one of them has an explanation for him how to move forward. I found this idea a beautiful concept and Albom's execution is even better than I had expected. Very touching.

BOOK: Mrs Dalloway - Virginia Woolf

Title: Mrs Dalloway
Author: Virginia Woolf
Genre: Novel
Publisher: Wordsworth Classics 2003 (1925)
Pages: Paperback, 141
Language: English
Rating: 6/10
Summary: The 1920's: a day in the life of middle aged Clarrisa Dalloway, who's hosting a party tonight.

Spoilerfree Review
I noticed the lack of female authors on my readinglist and asked for recommendations online; more than one person mentioned Virginia Woolf and when I found a whole series of her books with delightful covers, I bought four of her classics. I decided to read them chronologically, so I started with Mrs Dalloway which was first published in 1925.

It's the story of the middle aged Clarissa Dalloway who is getting ready to host an informal party at her house. While she is fixing her dress and keeping an eye on the staff's preparations, she reminisces about her childhood and thinks about how she met her husband.
In the mean time we also meet and follow a couple of other people, who are in one way or another involved with Mrs Dalloway, either in the past or present.
Each new scene is from another person's perspective and written in 'monologue interieur' or interior perspective. With twenty people walking around in London, all of them with their own -confused- thoughts, it got rather crowded in my brain.
The book is very well written and quite obviously a classic, but I found it very exhausting to read. There is no exterior explanation or description of any of the people and it's sometimes hard to distinguish between their thoughts. I did love the dialogues and it's good to read people basically have the same struggles with life, but I was very tired when I finished it.

BOOK: The Greatest Show On Earth - Richard Dawkins

Title: The Greatest Show On Earth
Author: Richard Dawkins
Genre: Religion, Science
Publisher: Black Swan 2010 (2009)
Pages: Paperback, 445
Language: English
Rating: 9/10
Summary: Richard Dawkins explains the evidence in favor of the Theory of Evolution

Review
After reading The Devil's Chaplain and especially The God Delusion I'm a fan of Richard Dawkins. His background in biology is impressive and it serves him well in his explanations about evolution, but I mostly love him for his fight against religion and its dubious consequences.

In The Greatest Show On Earth Dawkins offers a whole lot of evidence for the Theory of Evolution. He explains how available fossils prove beyond doubt how life evolved, but he also shows that even if we didn't have fossils, there is enough other scientific material to give us information about the development of life.
The missing link is not an argument against it, no matter how much creationists would like it to be.
A must read for everyone who wants to know more about life's history or those who love to get their points of view affirmed with a healthy dose of cynicism.
