In your own space, post a rec for at least three fanworks that you did not create... See if you can rec fanworks that are less likely to be praised: tiny fandoms, rare pairings, fanworks other than stories, lesser-known kinks or tropes. Find fanworks that have few to no comments, or creators new to a particular fandom who maybe aren't well known or appreciated. Appreciate them.

FANMIXES! I have listened to some fantastic mixes this year that have either buoyed me up or torn my heart in two.

[livejournal.com profile] colin_chaotic made A Journey of Fifty Thousand Words - a mix for nanowrimo (!) that was superduper cool and tracked the stages of that particular writing journey really well. I love how you can feel the ups and downs, the desperation and exhilaration all the way through it. 

[personal profile] somehowunbroken made Spark - a Hunger Games, Peeta/Katniss mix that really gets under the skin of how unsure they are of each other and how much they have the power to hurt each other even as they cling together. It's excellent. 

Savage Antinous is pure paincake of the Enjolras/Grantaire variety. Stabby and beautiful by The-Cynic on 8-tracks. 

[livejournal.com profile] hbics just posted my waywardmixes holiday exchange present, Live Like You Choose To which was Bomb Girls women inspired by Marge Piercy's The Low Road. It is exactly what you would want for a meeting of this show and this poem, about the women banding together and relying on each other and finding their voices. Her song choices are perfect. 

The same mixer has also done two really excellent Bible/Jesus Christ Superstar mixes that examine the relationships so well; the first, Stoic Minds and Bleeding Hearts is Jesus/Judas/Mary and is really well configured to the dynamics of that particular OT3; the second, Mary Go Round, is about Mary Magdalene and Mary, Jesus's mother becoming each other's surrogate family after the deaths of Jesus and Judas. Both of these are really interesting and really fantastic. 

And finally, [personal profile] mementis made a totally lovely and fun Due South, Ray K/Fraser mix, Time Make Us Wise last year that just makes me want to rest my chin on my hands and blink 2D hearts out of my eyes.

Go forth and listen!
