Misc links

[personal profile] michelel72 has three SGA tie-in novels looking for a new home (Death Game, Homecoming, The Lost); the linked post also includes links to her reviews of the books. (The books are free; a donation to an animal rescue charity would be appreciated but is not required.) ETA: Taken!

[personal profile] rachelmanija has a rather awesome ... well, I'm not sure whether to call it fanfic or classify it otherwise, but it's basically the diagnosis notes of Miles Vorkosigan's therapist, and if you are familiar with Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan books, it's a lot of fun, and sounds pretty much spot-on to me. *g* (I don't think you could pay me enough to be the Vorkosigans' therapist ...)

As a sci-fi fan, I'm pretty sure this is the best billboard ever. (What makes it awesome is that it's serious.)

Vid rec: these are the days (of miracle and wonder) by [personal profile] kaydeefalls (also on DW) - (X-Men, all movies) This vid made me SO HAPPY. Very well edited and just full of happy, bouncy nostalgic squee; it takes me right back to the delight of watching the first X-Men movie and seeing these characters that I'd loved since childhood come to life in a superhero movie that was actually good! I still haven't seen the most recent couple of movies, but enjoyed it anyway and didn't feel like I was missing anything.

ETA: [livejournal.com profile] kriadydragon, this rec's for you! Well, for any other interested parties as well, of course, but I think you'd particularly enjoy it, if you haven't already read it: Monsieur Vol du Furet - White Collar, absolutely adorable short-yet-plotty fic in which Neal + ferret = awesome.

When they ask if you want the red shirt treatment, JUST SAY NO. XD

As for that billboard ... wow. Just wow.

Fantastic! Glad I could help. :)

The billboard is hilarious. Talk about unintentionally missing the mark.

Well, the billboard is funny. Otoh they Are getting free publicity :)
The vid was lovely. Haven't seen the latest xmen movie yet though.

I haven't seen the latest either! But I'm looking forward to seeing it eventually. X-Men fandom seems generally to like it. :)

It's definitely not an enticement for sci-fi people. :D
