I wish I was a mermaid and was friends with all the fish

1) Sweet Charity bidding has officially begun! I've offered to write fic, which you can bid on here (I'm listed as Zhailei, at the bottom of the page), or check out some of the other awesome goodies offered. For more details about what I'm offering, or if you have any questions, see here.

Unfortunately, I've already been outbid for the things I wanted, but maybe I'll get lucky and find something I can still afford. (If I'm being completely honest, I can't really afford to bid on anything, but it's for charity.)

2) Belated episode reactions for last week:

( Grey's Anatomy )

( Smallville )

( Stargate Atlantis )

3) Finished watching Burn Notice, and I'm totally in love. I can't wait for it to come back!

4) Yes, I have started watching Prison Break. I'm still on season one (also known as the non-crack, non-Mahone season), but I'm really liking it so far. YES, I HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO THE FANDOM. I have absolutely no willpower, okay?

superduperkc said she'd like vid recs, but not tailored to her interests - as she said, "because vidding is one of my interests, I will watch almost anything in almost any fandom." And that struck a chord with me, because increasingly, so will I. When I first started watching vids, I stuck to fandoms I loved, and then to fandoms I was familiar with, and have got to the point now where I love watching vids even - sometimes especially - in fandoms I know nothing about. (And I'm sure I'm not the only person who has discovered, or rediscovered, love for a fandom via watching vids.) So, with that in my mind, I decided to put together a themed rec list - vids from shows I had never seen, or had watched a bit of but wasn't really fannish about. And somewhere along the line, this morphed into a fantasy playlist of vids for fandoms I'm not in (or wasn't, at the time of first viewing).

For superduperkc: I hope there are vids here you haven't seen, and that you enjoy your recs as much as I enjoyed putting them together.
