I feel like I should rec a source before getting to the recs. Cairo Time (2009) is a romantic drama, written and directed by Ruba Nedda, a Canadian of Egyptian descent. Despite being about an emotional affair between a married woman and the friend her husband asks to show her Cairo and look out for her when he can’t join her there (infidelity squick), it reeled me in. There’s a touch of ‘Lost in Translation’ about Juliette (Patricia Clarkson) initially, as she suffers discombobulation on top of empty-nest syndrome and spousal abandonment, but as she gets to know Tareq (Alexander Siddig) and his city, a restrained love story develops. If this sound like something you’d be interested in, it’s well worth hunting down, as I did this summer. (And then I tried to write some fic in response to it, struggled and thought I'd check AO3 and lo and behold, thanks to Yuletide, there was fic.)

Yes, it's a terrible time to post this now with everyone gearing up for Yuletide and Christmas holidays, plus it's four months since I last did a recs post, so no wonder there are too many for me to post in one go, but here are 20 fanfiction and fanvid recs in the following fandoms: Alice (SyFy); Avengers; The Bourne Legacy; Brooklyn Nine-Nine; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Community; The Good Wife; Harry Potter; The Hobbit - The Desolation of Smaug; The Hour; The Hunger Games; Into the Storm (2014); Man of Steel; Mr and Mrs Smith; The Night Circus and Orphan Black.

AND THEN YouTube cannily promoted ‘Classic Alice’ on the side of one of those videos, and I was intrigued.

Episode 1 is entitled Down the Rabbit Hole. While not based on a specific novel, it’s a transmedia-ish metatextual high-concept fictional vlog. Or something. It had the equivalent of footnotes. I’m doomed.

The narrative (with vids, Tumblr posts, tweets and pictures) is here although it’s not exhaustive. The Classic Alice ENTIRETY! playlist seems to have all the vids.
