I think I mis-named the previous Sanctuary review post - Eulogy was 2.03, wasn't it? )

In other news, I've just created [livejournal.com profile] sanctuary_news - a daily/weekly newsletter for Sanctuary which will hopefully be going live as of the 1st January, 2011.

I'm just sayin'...

And tomorrow I'm going shopping for DVD sets! (Once I find my Christmas money stash.)

Things To Buy:
- A:TLA series, book 1
- Blood Ties Season 1 (I watched the promo after reading the shorts in Blood Bank for a YT fic and being reminded of just how much I love the Henry-Vicki-Mike triangle in the novel.)

...and I just realised I don't even have to buy S2 Sanctuary because the stepfather has it! Woohoo!

The wonderful thing about Yuletide? You can find awesome fic for series that otherwise would be a nightmare to hunt down.

And the best thing? It's almost all good fic. Well-written, well-punctuated, nicely-characterised, entertaining fic written by people who might be good at the mass market, but who can do niche brilliantly, too.

I had a hankering for Tony/Lee from Tanya Huff's 'Smoke' series, and Yuletide gave in spades!

My favourites:

Five Ways Tony Doesn't Save The Day by Aderam

It's Never The Good Kind (Except When It Is) by Lucy Gillam

Smoke And Frost by delurker

But there are quite a few others about Tony. Interesting, there are almost none about Vicki in the book series. TV series, there seem to be plenty. I really did love the Henry/Vicki/Mike triangle in the books - it was beautifully done.

What I'm really hankering for right now, though? The third book in Melanie Rawn's Exiles trilogy: The Captal's Tower. Failing that, I'd settle for Cailet/Josselin fic, although that's going to be much much rarer than hen's teeth, since Melanie asked her fans not to write fanfic about her characters, rather to write their own characters instead.

*sigh*

Assuming that Melanie ever decides to write The Captal's Tower, it probably won't be out until 2014. And this when the 2nd book in the trilogy was published back in 1997.

Robert Jordan fans? You got nothing on Exiles fans. NOTHING.
