Dear festividder (and treaters),

Thank you so much for taking on one of my prompts! I enjoy all kinds of music styles, though I admit to favoring fast-paced/uptempo songs, and I particularly enjoy vids with attention to beat work and movement.

Some favorites music artists of mine: any pop from the 1980s (Madonna, Erasure and Depeche Mode in particular), B-52s, Cake, Beck, Gossip, Scissor Sisters, Chromeo, Black Keys, La Roux, Tori Amos, Muse, Goldfrapp, Nine Inch Nails, Postal Service, the Indigo Girls, Led Zeppelin, Tool, VAST, The Faint, Metric, Adele, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Interpol, The Shins, Dead Can Dance, and Zero 7. Just some ideas--seriously, go with whatever moves you.

And for tone, though I love goofy/happy, I'm happy with any kind of theme or pairing or mood that strikes you. I like slash, het and gen in equal measure. I'm not as big a fan of scary or violent vids, but you might convince me.

( I'm requesting The Craft, Desperately Seeking Susan, Hackers, Losers, Muppets, Real Genius, RPF-Avengers, and Willow )

Now I want my assignment!!!

So I've seen lots of people in fandom who are all about the Cap/Iron Man, and I was kind of like, OK...

But then I watched this vid, and I read this fic (which is one of the funniest and most delighful fics I've read in ages--seriously), and gahhhhh, so much awesomeness and I totally get it now.

Other new favorite thing? Avengers roommate!fic. I want ALL the hanging-out-at-Stark-tower/mansion-roommate-shenanigans fic. Boisterous!Thor and snarky!Tony and sneaky!Natasha and cuddly!Hulk and other hilarity. Bring it!!!

I am signing up for this round of fandom_helps to raise funds for Planned Parenthood.

Yay Festivids!!!

My podbang for deepforestowl is HERE! I read the Scholomance series by astolat, which was a delight. Very happy to share it now that it's posted :D

And I got a giftie! twilight_angel recorded one of my favorite J2's HERE.

There are also dozens of other awesome podfics being posted as part of podbang (I snagged almost all of the J2, SGA, and Sherlock ones), so I will have plenty of listening material for the next while. Woohoo for podfic exchanges!

I've got a favor to ask of my brilliant and bounteous flist!

I have the most delighful vid bunny and I need your help: I would absolutely love it if everyone would comment with their favorite ladies of space and time travel.

I'm talking any sci-fi/fantasy movie (Contact, Hitchhiker's Guide, Star Trek, Supergirl, Barbarella, Star Wars, what else?) or television show (BSG, Stargate, Firefly, Doctor Who, and so many more!) with any element of space/time travel where it is the ladies DOING the badass stuff (not just sitting and looking cute with the maincharacterdude while he does badass stuff): Wormholes and time machines and spaceships galore! ( I think I've got the ladies of BSG pretty much covered, but I would really like help with... )

Tell me your faves! Don't be afraid to mention specific characters or scenes. I need your help to make the awesomest vid ever :)
