no_takebacksHello everyone -- thanks so much for your hilarious contributions yesterday! So fun.
I thought today we could play the old "desert island" game: You are going to be stuck on a desert island with access to only 8 items related to BSG. These items can be anything - episodes, fanfic, vids, interviews, images, a discussion thread. Which 8 would you want to come back to again and again? Share your list with us! It will be interesting to see if there are certain items all of fandom picks as essential, or if everyone will have their own unique taste on display :)

Date: 2012-05-22 06:36 pm (UTC)Also, I love that you go back often to your own stories -- I reread mine a lot, too, it just seems natural (we write what we like, right?) I'm not sure I've seen that Speedracer vid, will definitely check it out.
Thanks for sharing this!

Date: 2012-05-22 06:39 pm (UTC)Oh Speedracer is the best!!!! It's my favorite K/L vid of all time.
I do re-read quite often, mostly so I can remember that "Hey, Look, you must be able to do this, because you've written all this other stuff!" ;)

Date: 2012-05-22 04:55 pm (UTC)I guess if I could bring ANYTHING BSG related, I'd go for...
1. Adama's lighter
2. Gaius's knowledge of farming
3. Kara's out of the box thinking
4. Lee's muscles (ALL of them, mmm)
5. Athena's hunting skills
6. Kendra's razor
7. The Chief's still
8. Kara's poetry books for reading material
...I know this doesn't fit what you were going for but I'm garbage at remembering/tracking fics and vids, etc.

"Not really."

no subject
Date: 2012-05-22 09:16 pm (UTC)I'm quite new to the community, but right now I would say (although the choice was EXTREMELY difficult):
1) fic: Intra by Kate Andrews
2) fic: Gold to Iron by stars_like_dust and fahye
3) fic: Contraventions by Leda13
4) fic: everything by Hackaddict (I don't even know how to choose!)
5) fic: the crackfics ! (stupid thing last night - the video tape edition, Benevolent Sibling,the Absolutely Positively True (Sort of) Fictional Adventures of Hot Pilots in Love)
6) fic: How Apollo took on Dyonisos and Lost by Elzed
7) Vid: So What? by Taragel (I could take every fic and vid, but I must at least pretend to make a choice)
8) fic: Academy days, by Maevenly
well, yes, I know, I cheated.... Sorry (?)!
