August 2013 Media Thread

ArisKatsaris

This is the monthly thread for posting media of various types that you've found that you enjoy. Post what you're reading, listening to, watching, and your opinion of it. Post recommendations to blogs. Post whatever media you feel like discussing! To see previous recommendations, check out the older threads.

Rules:

Please avoid downvoting recommendations just because you don't personally like the recommended material; remember that liking is a two-place word. If you can point out a specific flaw in a person's recommendation, consider posting a comment to that effect.
If you want to post something that (you know) has been recommended before, but have another recommendation to add, please link to the original, so that the reader has both recommendations.
Please use the comment trees for genres. There is a meta thread for comments about future threads.
If you think there should be a thread for a particular genre of media, please post it to the Other Media thread for now, and add a poll to the Meta thread asking if it should be a thread every month.

...You didn't have to. Even now with this discussion in the results, you still could have found on-LW recommendations of "To The Stars" via hit #3:

Aug 1, 2012 - All in all, I would rather reread "Shinji and Warhammer 40k", "To the Stars", or other really good fanfiction than bother rereading HPMoR.

or hit #5

Apr 4, 2013 - Fanfiction Thread. Vote up; Vote down ..... I finally watched Puella Magi Madoka Magica, its extremely good. It isn't exactly rationalist fic, but is ...

reads "Relevant fanfic, for those interested."

Ah! We are disagreeing on the definition of "recommendations." I had in mind something a little meatier - a dedicated post, or at least a plot/concept summary.
