Reasons to be Cheerful (again)

[arachnekallisti]

Discovered today that the BBC is running a sci-fi season. This includes such squeetastic joys as Paul Cornell's adaptation of The State of the Art, a documentary-style adaptation of Rendezvous with Rama as the Classic Serial, an audio reboot of Blake's 7, and Robert Rankin's Brightonomicon.

Ah, fandom. Always makes me feel better.

ETA: The B7 reboot is made of win, if you can get used to a Scottish Servalan and American Jenna. And the idea that Travis' first name is Stefan.

ETA2: For your interest, here's the best of the h/c fics I found t'other week:

1. Four and Twenty Blackbirds - FFXII. Rather fine Fran & Balthier fic. Sky pirates. Angst. Yay!
2. Beyond Embarassment - in which dying gives Benton Fraser a whole new lease of life. Lovely slash piece, very sweet.
3. Eight Sessions - Due South again. Witty, perceptive, very slashy, incredibly sweet.

It is a thing of Joy and Win. I hope he likes it :)

Joff will, incidentally, be Ded of Squee when he finds out that it's got Paterson Joseph and Sir Anthony Sher in it.

These were lovely. Especially Beyond Embarrassment, with its not-at-all-symbolic closet.

In return, a rather sweet Harry Potter/Winnie the Pooh crossover. Snape meets a certain phlegmatic donkey:

"It's a very gloomy state, being Unpopular, isn't it?" said the donkey.

"Very gloomy indeed," agreed Severus.

Enjoy.
