Belated, but I'm going to try and do this now!



Day 1

In your own space, talk about your Happy Place—the things that give you joy, calms you or keeps you sane. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Fannishly, rather than physically (which I assume is what's wanted?), probably my main 'happy place' out of recent fandoms over the last few years has been Once Upon a Time. It may have many faults, but its ridiculous-awesome meta fairy tale soap opera open crossover nature, has been a go-to for cheering up, at least when it comes to things that aren't beige or black & white and at least 35 years old. Especially Regina and Lana Parrilla and her face.

In old TV, James Maxwell has been an excellent TV boyfriend in so many ways, saving only burninated stuff I can't have (*pines*). He also had an interesting life, despite claiming to be super-ordinary, and is a very satisfactory person to like all round. This year was particularly good because I found an actual interview with him and someone magically sent me his autograph online via tumblr and a dream. Thinking about all of this makes me happy.

Also Adam Adamant Lives! AAL! is like old Brit TV happy-making medicine. I don't know if Sydney Newman put that in his instructions to Verity Lambert back in the day, but probably.


Day 2

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.

Okay, three of the most recent of my (non-Yuletide) bookmarks:

Kindred by trufflemores (G, 2981 words. Arrowverse, Barry Allen & Kara Danvers)
1.18. Barry and Kara share donuts on a rooftop. Sweet & fun missing scene from Supergirl and the Flash's first encounter.


Decade of Hell by fogshadow (G, 5333 words. Star Trek: Voyager/Sapphire & Steel, Silver.)
When I tell you that Time has moods, a disposition to be intuited, I'm not speaking metaphorically. Anger is one of its moods—anger and the desire for retribution, vengeance. Time itself has tried to punish me for my arrogance. It has kept me from my wife, denied me my future. —Captain Annorax, "Year of Hell: Part 2" Or, Silver gets stuck on one hell of an assignment. Unusual crossover, which is accessible from either end as Silver gives an outsider POV on a particular Voyager incident. Excellent.


Notes from the Past by KittyEden (Teen, 4298 words. Sapphire, Steel, Magnesium)
An empty house, stacks upon stacks of blank paper, and a string of mysterious deaths: Sapphire and Steel- and Magnesium- have been assigned. Great missing assignment with a lovely OC Element. (Archive-locked).
