Kara & Lee in the internet universe

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

Today's the last day of my DPP host week, and I have to say, helmets off to you all. We've had some fantastic discussions--thanks to everyone who was able to stop by and add commentary!

A recap:

• Monday: workerbee73 led the forum on how Pilots Are True, True Love with essays and cracky haikus
• Tuesday: we channeled Joan Rivers on to slice and dice BSG canon fashion & style
• Wednesday: in a delightful trip into shipper imaginations, we learned a lot of details on what we don't know about Kara & Lee
• Thursday: it was time for a hefty dose of snark and sass (cheaper than happy hour!) with pics, fic recs, vids, and more
• Friday: we read through bits of the show bible and shared our head!canons for Kara & Lee
• Yesterday: we talked about crossover fic, shared fic recs, and came up with crossover wish lists.

Today, shipper nation, I ask you:
Where do you go outside of N_T to get more Kara & Lee?

There's a good list on the sidebar of NT for other LJ comms, but let's share recs for Tumblr, blogs, fan art sites, etc. Maybe you have a link to your own shipper site that we could check out! I'll put a few in the comments to get us going.

See you on the other side, everyone! Thanks again for being AWESOME!

Woman, why are you not on my Tumblr with all your Tumblog recs?

Also, I could just list out the entire little shipper community I have on Tumblr. Although I'm not sure that would be in any way appropriate.

Re: Tumblr: You Won't Be Forgotten

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

Because I, myself, am not on Tumblr. I'd never get any work done if that distraction made its way in your life!

Yessss, please go right ahead and list out your shipper community, unless you want to save it for your host posts!

Thaaat's how I feel.

I'll go get my list and post it later. There are some seriously awesome-sauce folks on the Tumblz.

Oops, I clearly meant my life, not yours, haha. Glad we are of a similar mind on this!

Yesterday I was like "I'll work on my master's paper stuff."

*ten hours of Tumblr later*

"Oh crap."

How could I have forgotten to put Dave's pilots vids (from the show) site on the sidebar?! Running off to rectify that now.

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

Oh, awesome! Btw, I just noticed that the link to leeadama_daily is missing the dash and is thus currently not working.

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

ooh thanks. I'll fix that.

[wicked-sassy.livejournal.com]

You're awesome, Tara!

[scifishipper.livejournal.com]

Dave is a rockstar. Just sayin'. I love that site so much. <3

I go to Battlestarwiki for almost every fic I write. It's not particularly shippy, but does help me write the shippy things. :)

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page

I also find bits and pieces of Kara and Lee at bsg_epics and bsg_kink. The fics at those comms are listed at karaleefic, but every once in a while, there is discussion at bsg_epics, too.

My f'list used to be more active with Kara/Lee discussion, but not so much any more. I'd love to see more individual posts about the show/ship. :)

Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

So, this is pretty much just a directory of Tumblrs that either are specific to BSG or post a whole lot of BSG. In the list of my friends, I've put a * by the ones who I remember off the top of my head are squee-ful Kara/Lee shippers. I'm also going to give you a warning: Tumblr is flooded in Sherlock right now. So current postings might not be a particularly accurate representation of someone's blog. And one final disclaimer: tumblr can be full of some serious serious wank. So just be warned.

BSG & Caprica specific blogs:
12colonies (http://12colonies.tumblr.com)
opera-house (http://opera-house.tumblr.com)
frakyeahcaprica (http://frakyeahcaprica.tumblr.com)
sosayweall (http://sosayweall.tumblr.com)
prettybsg (http://prettybsg.tumblr.com)
frakyeahbattlestargalactica (http://frakyeahbattlestargalactica.tumblr.com)

People who frequently post BSG and Caprica graphics, meta, etc. (I'll just note that all of these people also post vast quantities of other fandoms too--this is basically a giant list of my entire circle of Tumblr friends. As I tend to make Tumblr friends through BSG, you can judge if they are BSG-ish enough for you, but I enjoy conversations with most of these people on daily basis):

Aaand, this is me: bluefootedbooby (http://bluefootedbooby.tumblr.com). I will reblog anything shippy that I find, so following me a pretty good way to avoid the shitstorm that occasionally is the various BSG related tags. (Said tags are also why my personal LJ is routinely filled with Tumblr rants.)

Re: Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

[callmeonetrack.livejournal.com]

the adama-thrace link says page not found. FYI.

Re: Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Hm. Well, I went back through the list of people I follow and it appears to have been deleted. It hadn't been updated for months anyway, but there were some pretty things there from long ago.

Re: Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

Also I forgot frakyeahbsg (http://frakyeahbsg.tumblr.com) on that list. Dur. That's the most active one.

Re: Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

[pressdbtwnpages.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the recs! I'm following you now (mythandmaneater (http://www.tumblr.com/blog/mythandmaneater)!)

Re: Dana's Entire Tumblr Circle

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

:-) Followed you back

[winegums.livejournal.com]

Outside of LJ? I don't even bother to wade into the cesspool that is tumblr most days- in my experience, it's not very good for fandom stuff besides graphics/gifs (but it is v. good for those) and there's always a chance that some random troll will decide to snerk/try to start a shipwar. I prefer n_t, it is a nice cosy little fandom nook.

I sometimes check in the Kara/Lee tag on AO3, though, it's not that wide a selection of fics but pretty decent.


And of course, my top source of pilotlove and succour outside of this comm is individual ppl's journals. Best place IMO, especially now.

[useyourlove.livejournal.com]

I agree with this. n_t is like a cozy two-story cottage in a Victorian novel full of awesome people and warm blankets and duvets and window seats that overlook the alternately angsty and awe-inspiring romantic view.

[winegums.livejournal.com]

This is probably the best (and most accurate) description of this comm EVER.

[anamarya.livejournal.com]

Such a lovely description of this comm. *heavy sigh*
