Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or consume different fanworks. Give that new fandom a go. Listen to a podfic or watch some vids if you haven’t before. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.
And now I'm kind of stumped, because I do try out most fanworks, and often new fandoms (and there's been Yuletide lately, which I'm still poking around in and which is fab for that sort of thing) and I'm not averse to trying any pairings I think look at all interesting/fun. The only thing I don't do is listen to podfics, but there's a reason for that.*
So, help me out, if you will -
Please rec me something in a fandom I don't know that's non-spoilery. (Non-spoilery is so hard to be sure of when you're poking around looking for stuff yourself.) A fanvid would be perfect, or a very short and accessible fic would also be great. I'll either make another post or edit this one to review said recs a little. (Hopefully positively, but can't be guaranteed in advance! :lol:)
Oh, and if it's fic, I'm no good with explicit pr0n, I'm really not.
Thanks in advance! :-)
*Basically, I think podfics and podficcing are marvellous and there should be much more - I spent enough time in libraries having to think about ways to get things in as many different formats not to appreciate the importance of that. However I don't do audio books; I just can't and therefore not podfics either. Full cast audio plays are fine, but I just... can't listen to audio books, even when I can see there's been a temptingly perfect match-up of reader and book. Maybe one day. And I also have major embarrassment squick at the idea of having to listen to my recorded voice. *shudder*

There's some, ummmm, Get Smart videos here (the Pollution one is fabulous:)

“We’ve got to stop meeting like this,” says Dom, sliding into the booth across from him. This is a joke; Zib’s never laid eyes on him outside the big house. It occurs to him that maybe the reverse isn’t true - alto sax is the sort of girl that demands attention, and Lackadaisy’s bright for a cellar but dim for a dance hall. You don’t see much from the stage."

Um. Have you ever dabbled in the Firefly fandom? 'Cause if not, there's a cute fic here you could try: http://firefly.populli.org/archive/11/b
:lol: Yes, I thought that, but then listing what i don't know would be impossible, wouldn't it? I thought I'd trust to my reasonably comprehensive interests and tags and the ingenuity of my flist. And it seems to have worked.
And, no I only know Firefly by crossovers and osmosis. Oh, and Serenity. But the person who told me that would be okay without watching Firefly first, though v well meant, was not as reliable as you wonderful people. So will read the fic, shortly. *bounce*
I had an idea you wouldn't know the fandom based on your tags, so that worked!
If you're fond of obscure television, one thing I would seriously recommend is Wolf Lake. A superb fantasy series that debuted on American TV in September 2001, and was consequently watched by nobody. Died a death after half a dozen episodes, but I've rarely seen better world-building. It has about six fans in total. A couple more if you include the cast! That's up on YouTube too.

I'll note the links for future, though - this is turning out to be rather fun.
