Vid and fic recs galore

[boomqueen]

Sorry I've been so quiet! It's a bunch of things: I've been in vid-prep mode and working on a new crackpoem, my muse has been a cranky little jerk, my baby brother is staying with us (and requiring far too much 'parenting' for a 22 year old!), and I'm still adjusting to our current living situation (house-sitting=twice as many dogs to take care of and a ginormous house/yard to keep up with).

Anyways, I'm still here and I hope to have a bunch of shinies to show everyone soon. I HAVE been watching and reading a bunch though.

teh vid recs:
Most of them are the product of VividCon awesomeness, and I'm sure some of these have been rec'd by others, but I've got to give these amazing vids my full endorsement too:

• Starbuck - Cuz I Can by dualbunny . P!nk+Starbuck=OTP. I can't stop gushing about this one because it might be my favorite vid ever: the song choice is perfect for Kara, the visuals are amazing in the 'big shiny' version, her editing and technique are just astounding. /drooling gush-fest
• Y'all should also check out her awesome HP vid to Snakes on a Plane and her gorgeous but funny Spike vid here
  
• 300 - Vogue by Madonna by sockkpuppett . I can't believe how beautiful and funny this vid is. Some of the prettiest crack I've ever seen.
• Multi-fandom - Canadian Actor Bingo by barkley and others. See many of your favorite BSG and SPN (and SG and Farscape and Smallville and X-Files and many others) actors in a multitude of bad outfits! See Callum Keith Rennie's gorgeous smirk in a dozen different roles!
• Multi-fandom - Improper Dancing by marycrawford . Another awesome VVC one full of goofiness and dancing in many shows/movies that I love. (big fat bonus points for the clips from Danny Kaye's Court Jester!)
• Smallville - Map of the Problematique by Muse by Lexcelsior at Red K Rush. I think this one is just new-to-me but I love this song, I love [good] Clex and this whole vid is just gorgeous.

teh fic recs:

• Anyone who hasn't been reading becisvolatile 's amazing angst saga need to start right frakkin now.
• latteaddict has been writing some yummy one-shots (I'm particularly fond of the mischievious pilots in Almost).
• My partner-in-crack-crime dionusia has been writing awesome drabbles here , here and here .
• Speaking of crack, I found a fabulous BSG/Office crossover crack piece from a while back: The Pilot and the Specialist is made of win and should be read by all immediately.

Speaking of even more crack....be on the look-out for another post from me soon to pimp the hell out of our BSG crack comm. dionusia   and I will convert you all in the end!!!

*insert evil cackle and maniacal hand-wringing here*

Aww, thanks for the rec! I un-flocked the second one...before I didn't think anyone else would see it so it didn't matter.

And hey, feel like stretching a little crackpoetry muscle and writing a poem to Lee scruff?

Can't wait for the comm! Let the Galacticrack flow.

Ooooooh, that's sounds like a good one. Any poems in mind? I'm sure I could hunt up an appropriate Ode or two...*g*

Dude, it is so on! Time to pimp our baby!!!

my baby brother is staying with us (and requiring far too much 'parenting' for a 22 year old!)

heee! my 23 year old brother was wandering around the house this morning saying there was nothing for breakfast. I told him we had two types of cereal, toast with many toppings including ham and cheese in case he wanted a grilled sandwich and we also had eggs, raisin toast, or bagels and cream cheese, plus left overs from last night's dinner. Apparently, any of that was too much effort to make and he would just have to eat some cookies unless I got up and made him something. I shit you not!

Thanks for the recs. I really like dualbunny's style of vidding...and of course her excellent choice of subject matter!

Bring on the crack poems. I hope your muse gets over the crankiness. Feed it chocolate :)

*fits of giggling* I think I just relieved that entire experience this morning. Telling him the available food ingredients was of absolutely no use--I had to spell out exactly what they could be made into (and only recommend things that take less than 5 minutes to prepare, of course...). GAH! I know he's technically grown-up, and he must function on his own when he's at school somehow, but he seems to completely devolve when he's home/visiting because he knows either our mom or me will take care of him!

I really like dualbunny's style of vidding

*nods* me too. She's totally my vidding hero right now. That Kara vid is just too awesome for words.

I hope your muse gets over the crankiness. Feed it chocolate :)

Haha! Maybe some brownies? I could go for that...

And in the meantime I'm just going to spam the flist with other recs and stuff like crazy until my muse is willing to cooperate ;D

HI!!! Missed you! You have lots of yummy things here that I hope to find the time to check out, but I just wanted to say hi! :) BSG/Office huh? Will have to check it out. That's an unlikely mix, well except for Dwight's love of all things Galactica. Speaking of which, did I ever show you Dwight's BSG /Lost blog? I know I meant to?

[boom-queen.livejournal.com]

Missed you too! *hugs*

The BSG/Office is totally hilarious, and it's all about what a huge BSG nerd Dwight is. You'll love it.

Don't think you ever showed me Dwight's blog...link me!

Ohh, thanks for the recs! I'm swooping on that barkley vid--the rest I've seen. And it's good to hear that you're vidding too! :)

Crac comm?! Count me in! \o/

This my first year experiencing the massive influx of gorgeous vids post-Vividcon so I'm totally enjoying the hell out of all the hard-work and pretties everywhere.

And I do have a couple of vids in the works. One is being particularly cranky so I think I'm putting it to the side for now (or waiting till I get really inspired). How about you? Any vid ideas percolating in that gorgeous brain of yours? :D

And the crack comm is up! Go check it out: bsg_crack. Denise and I are going to do our best to keep everyone entertained ;D

[bop-radar.livejournal.com]

Yes, the post-VVC frenzy is quite amazing! I was around for it last year but just got overwhelmed. This year I feel like I'm taking it all in a bit more.

I have a couple of vid ideas, but mostly I'm still wrestling with the Lee Vid that Ate My Life. Basically I just keep making it denser and denser without actually improving it... I think someone needs to reign me in, but there's noone around to do so. huahahaha. If it ever sees the light of day it will be the most impenetrabla madness you've ever seen. I should be working on my K/L vid concept which is far more likely to be a crowd pleaser. ;)

Crack! Wooo! Bring it on!
