Rec of the Week:
This has been really difficult: So many AoS people are taking part in the Snowflake Fandom Challenge, and one of the challenges is to rec three fanworks. So I've picked from those recs one in part of the AoS fandom that we don't see much of these days, the Sharpe fandom. The rec is from [personal profile] latin_cat who had this to say: Why I'm recommending this: This had the honour of being the first ever fanvid created for this pairing; there still aren't that many. It's a brilliant vid, very clever in its use of the song lyrics and the footage, and suits the tone of this series perfectly.

Fanvid: Jolene by [personal profile] le_russe_satan; Sharpe; PG-13; Sharpe/Wellington, Sharpe/Teresa; Wellington is afraid how easily he could lose a hold on Sharpe's affections.

sharpiefan: Rowing boat in the rain (Rowingboat)

Note from the Editor: Well, this week's been a bit of a washout weather-wise - I am starting to wonder whether it might not be a good idea to invest in a rowing boat, just in case.

I hope that everyone is OK and you're not suffering too much from the recent weird and wonderful weather.

[personal profile] sharpiefan
Note from the Editor:
Good week? Good. It's possibly time I let on why I introduced the 'Rec of the Week' slot to DW's Despatches... When I started producing this newsletter, I'd got out of the habit of reading fanfic because DW was so quiet at the time, and I thought it would be a good way to get back into reading stuff, as well as finding new-to-me authors (and vidders, artists etc). I hope you've discovered some new-to-you people the way I have! And if you know of someone who deserves to have a wider audience, please drop a comment with a link and I'll add it in a future issue.

Note from the Editor: Well, Happy New Year! This is the first Despatches of 2012, and I am looking forward to bringing lots of fandom things to the attention of a wider audience over the course of this coming year. For those new to DW, welcome! This is the DW version of [livejournal.com profile] despatches, set up and currently issued by [personal profile] sharpiefan, who many of you may remember from LJ. I was inspired to begin issuing a version of Despatches here because there was very little AoS content here on DW and I hoped to inspire people to produce more - there can never be too much fandom stuff, after all. For those of you who are new subscribers, I encourage you to look through the back issues, and if you find something you like, please let the author know.

As ever, if you wish [personal profile] despatch_reader to subscribe your journal or fic journal, please comment here, or over on the relevant post on [personal profile] despatch_reader - don't allow the Reader to access locked journal entries (AKA, do't friend that journal back!) so that only public entries will be linked from here.
