I made a set of these a few years ago and lost them in a computer crash. So I made new ones, because this deliciousness needs to be shared!

N.B. We are starting an hour early! (12:00 Eastern)

This Saturday's binge will feature Tatort Münster, Tatort Berlin, and Tatort München!

We'll be starting with Dornröschens Rache from Tatort Berlin, followed by Gott ist auch nur ein Mensch from Tatort Münster, finishing up with Wir sind die Guten from Tatort München.

Tatort means "Crime Scene" in German; it's an umbrella title for detective shows set in several different German cities. Tatort Münster is the most light-hearted and blatantly slashy, but other cities bring their own delights. These vids by Kerguelen will give you a taste:

Thiel/Boerne (Tatort Münster), "One Call Away"

Ritter/Stark (Tatort Berlin), "Love Will Keep Us Together"

So many Tatorts! So much slashiness!

The binge begins at ~~2 p.m.~~ 1 p.m. Eastern time (US) and usually runs until 5 or 6 pm. Here's the Zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/91462849358?pwd=TzNLZnplUDFCcVVTUE96dzhmam9Odz09

The slides I made this year are a mixture of shows I really love and want to introduce to potential new fans, (Guardian and Ancient Detective) and shows that were in the vid show for which we didn't already have slides (all the other ones below).

I'm already starting on slides for DC-Slash Con 2025! The next ones I make will be for Sungkyunkwan Scandal; I had made a set using my old computer and didn't back it up to the external hard drive (oops) ... and then the old computer crashed so hard that it lost files I hadn't even written yet, lol.

Ancient Detective (link to another entry; will open in new tab)

( Gollum )

( The Case Files of Jeweler Richard )

( The Marvel Cinematic Universe (focus on Captain America, Tony Stark, and Loki) )

( Stargate (focus on SG-1 and SGA) )

( White Collar )

( Guardian, revamped for legibility & availability )

As seen at DC Slash and REVELCon!!!

Ker and Aaron of DC Slash encouraged members to make these powerpoints to recruit their fellow convention goers to their fandoms! They also sent us helpful templates. :-)

The recruitment slides were shown at various times throughout the DC Slash convention, and were a delight! I thoroughly enjoyed learning about potential new fandoms.

I showed my Guardian slides again at a REVELCon panel to convince my fellow RCon attendees to send slides of *their* fave shows to DC Slash, too. That's not to say that I didn't put my whole heart into this "sample" presentation and possibly convert a few people! ;-)

I plan to tweak them before they're shown again, mostly by increasing the font size on the dialogue captions.

I watched Starsky & Hutch casually in the 1970's, but I never got bitten by the fannish bug for it. Still, since I know the main characters and a few of the plotlines, I generally enjoy S&H fanvids--and wow, this year's SHareCon, which ran from October 15-17, 2021, had some great ones!

There were actually three vid shows: the premiering vids, the dance party, and the historical vids. I took notes on the Premiering Vid Show, which was very impressive. And fun to watch!

A couple of notes: A. The vids were pretty much all slash, and B. There are probably subtleties in these vids that I didn't catch, and if anyone wants to share their knowledge to clarify things I missed or misinterpreted--I would love to have learningz!!!

My first slash vid!!!

https://archiveofourown.org/works/33688045

You could probably watch it with gen goggles as a friendship vid, if you prefer. :-)

Here's a link to watch all the vids online - you can watch them all in a row, or click on individual vids to watch them separately: https://vimeo.com/showcase/8017846

The short version: I thoroughly enjoyed this vid show! I can't give the vidders the feedback they deserve on all of the vids, since I didn't know all the fandoms. But I was tickled that I did recognize more of the fandoms than usual, and the vids were great!

Chu and Guo are basically ... Brutus and Pixie! In that order.

If you haven't read the Pixie & Brutus webcomic, you can find it at pet_foolery's account on Instagram and also, I think, on Facebook. It's about an retired military dog who is adopted by a family with a kitten. It's insanely adorable.

I think this is the first time I've been in a fandom where the primary pairing actually ships the secondary pairing!!!

Zhao Yunlan is musing about how Chu didn't originally even LIKE Guo, and now they're inseparable. I adore Shen Wei's goofy smile--and his (unspoken) answer. ♥

I participated in a fannish charity auction a while back and one of the items I won was a fic by

bemused_writer. It was completed & posted earlier this month and I ♥ it so much!!!

You can find it on AO3 here: The Waylaid Festival.

It's a marvelous gen/pre-slash (Lan Sizhui/Lan Wingyi) tale in which the ducklings go to a festival and get pulled unwittingly into an adventure. It's got humor, it's got idiots-in-love, it's got an actual plot with an interesting ghost problem, and in the background we glimpse Lan Wangji being Best Dad. It's set before Wei Wuxian's return, so the parts with Lan Wangji being a dad are melancholy, but also sweet. Highly recommended!!!

How can I be into multiple fandoms right now? I don't DO THAT. I MEAN WHAT. (Okay, I have a couple of fandoms that are always simmering in the background, like Barney Miller and Star Trek, but I'm usually *really into* just one fandom at a time.)

So right now, I'm still pretty wild about Rat Patrol. And I've gone head-over-heels for The Untamed. And I just finished watching Guardian, another C-drama based on a danmei (gay romance) novel.

( Squee and screencaps ensue )

Come watch Ratties (and later, Gorillas) and make snarky/slashy comments! It's free, and the chatting is in a text window so you don't even have to comb your hair!

Copied from DCSlash:
Today, we will be fighting World War II during the DCSlash Gathering. We'll start in North Africa fighting alongside the Rat Patrol with their jeeps as they go up against the handsome and honorable Hauptmann Hans Dietrich. Then we will switch to the European Theater to go on special missions behind enemy lines with Garrison's Gorillas as this elite team of criminals works their way to freedom by doing missions for the Allies.

We start at 1:30 pm EST at https://app.kosmi.io/room/bzw8jx

I drew up this list for the Fandom of the Week on DCSlash, and thought I'd like to share it with y'all!

The Chain of Death Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ivr_rT8TTFk
This is the one that justastormie's screencap is from! Troy and Dietrich are captured by slave traders and chained together. They have to work together to escape and survive.

I mean this screencap, of course:

The Moment of Truce Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHSpJG_eMxE
The Rats and Dietrich have to work together when they are attacked by a common enemy.

The Decoy Raid - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KY4Q3bOny9U
The Rats and Dietrich struggle to prevent a typhus epidemic when the vaccine is impounded by a mad S.S. officer.

The Last Chance Raid – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67JTpXX3xNs
This one doesn't have a work-together plot, but it has one of the slashiest scenes in the entire series – even GEN fans say it's slashy! Dietrich has captured Troy and his men and says, "What am I going to do with you?" Troy asks flirtatiously, "Are you open to suggestions?" And they smile at each other a beat too long—or, as the younglings say nowadays—eyesex! Here's a set of screencaps I found on Pinterest from this very scene:

I'm doing this week's Fandom of the Week for DCSlash, a group on FB/DW/Discord for slash fans in the DC area. Three guesses what I picked!!!

No fair! You looked at the icon. ;-) Here are the two preliminary posts I made today--the first one is long, so it's under a cut. Fic recs will follow!

Post #2:
Fandom of the Week: The Rat Patrol
In case the previous entry was tl;dr at this hour of the morning, I offer you just one of justastormie’s screenshots-with-caption. Enjoy!

Sunday at 9 a.m.: The slash vid discussion panel

For those of you who love Barney Miller and would love to see the slashiest bits again--and most especially, for those of you who are saying, "Wait, Barney Miller was slashy???" Here's a link to download the Harris/Dietrich ~~pimping tape~~ slash recruitment clip compilation:

It may take a while, depending on your Internet speed--it's about 3 gigs.

And here's a handy guide:( Read more... )

Nineteen vids! A wealth of enjoyment! ( Read more... )

So, I have to thank

eldritchhobbit for suggesting Person of Interest - we've been watching it from the beginning and thoroughly enjoy it. TODS says that Finch is his favorite character on TV these days, and I can certainly see why.

( Various thinkings: ficlet rec, inanppropriate songvid idea, omg fanservice )

I was a bit concerned when we got The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother in the mail from Netflix last December. I loved it to itty bitty pieces when it came out, at which point I was 13 or 14 years old. At the same time, I also adored a short-lived television series entitled Fantastic Journey, which died a sadly-deserved death after just a few episodes. I watched it again as an adult (back when SciFi was doing reruns of short-run shows) and was horrified by how really really, atrociously bad it was. I was afraid the same would be the case of my beloved movie.

I needn't have worried!( Read more... )

There are so many reasons to love the Barney Miller Christmas episodes - we have two of them on tape and always re-watch them this time of year. "Christmas Story" is so heartwarming; Fish's "heh, heh" when he imagines people beating up Santa is a masterpiece of comic timing, and the whole plot with Yemana dating the prostitute is really sweet. (Hey, I didn't say it was *wholesome*!)

And then there's "Toys," which has such a splendidly slashy moment (and it's NOT between Harris and Dietrich, although they get some adorable bickering in). Barney and his estranged wife Liz are going over cancelled checks:

Hee hee!

There's another Christmas episode that I've seen, "Homeless," but I don't have it on tape, and it's not on YouTube. Alas!
