Too much caffeine too late in the evening and now I can't sleep!

Winners are dayln03 (5 correct) and einaphets (4.5). Most everyone else got at least one or two right :)

And speaking of a certain JPadHotFace and another JDohSexAss...WHY DID NO ONE TELL ME THAT JASON DOHRING WAS ACTUALLY GETTING HOTTER WITH TIME.

I just assumed he had ceased to exist when I stopped paying attention to VM, but these pics from Polaris 08 clearly prove that his hotness is just INCREASING.

Found those while drooling over these Jared pics from Eyecon 08...( MOARRRRR PIX )

Yummmmm.

I'm having a huge DUH moment. I've just fallen in love all over again with a vidder that I already KNEW was awesomecakes, because I *airquotes* just discovered a huge cache of gorgeous and awesome and wonderful Kara vids by her: superduperkc.

So I'm here to show a little love to KC. Because she seriously rocks my socks. And because I feel like a doofus for not realizing that she had vidded more in BSG fandom than Battlestar Inferno and Passive Manipulation (both of which I've rec'd before).

New-to-me recs!

All Fired Up - the kind of kick-ass Kara action vid that makes me want to pump my fist in the air and dance around my living room like an idiot
Scratch - the kind of achey S3 character study that makes me just fall for Kara and her gorgeous broken-ness all over again every time
You Passed By - this one just makes me cry. every time. 'nuff said.

/pimpage

Maybe I'll have to do a nothing-but-favorite-Kara vids rec post sometime. What are yours? We'll take dualbunny's Cuz I Can and God Is a DJ as fandom-wide givens for favorite, so rec me something else.

PS: OMG FINALE TOMORROW, MY BRAIN ASPLODE.

So much wow it cannot be contained.

I'm just aching and enthralled after watching this vid. It made the hairs on my arms literally stand up.

canadiangirl_86 + Chris Cornell + Kara Thrace = Amazing.

Fandom makes me so damn happy sometimes y'all. I love you guys.

Not such a big fan of working both Fridays and Saturdays these days. I keep being several days behind everyone else on watching/posting/commenting. Don't worry, I'll catch up eventually ;)

( BSG - Faith )

1. Friday nights are sooooo much better than Sunday nights because I can watch and squee with buddies. Watching with buddies is sooooo much better than watching by myself!

2. Holy frakking shit that was awesome!

In conclusion, I love my show to itty bitty pieces and I'm so damn happy it's back on the air!!!

I know everyone has probably seen most of the new season 4 promo pictures by now, but I couldn't help myself: the pictures of Kara are just TOO DAMN GORGEOUS and my girl damn well frakking deserves her own picspam to celebrate the occasion.

( Kara > you )

( Can't help but mention the continued hotness of my OT3 altogether )

All of these are snagged from dryope's hi-res originals.

Rather than grovel for not having been around during the holidays, I'm going to start the new year with a whole damn bunch of fandom love. First, a vid rec post for all of my favorites of 2007!

My 2007 Vid Recs by Fandom

( BSG, always first in my heart *g* )

( Supernatural, which I'm totally going to start vidding as soon as I get to start my Xmas gift card shopping spree! )

( Other fandoms: Whedon-verse and Harry Potter )

( And a little shameless self-pimpage, since 2007 was my first year as a vidder... )

Yay for vids :) If you saw or made something awesome in '07, comment and tell me all about it! Next up will be a Fic Rec list for last year, hopefully up in the next day or two.

This meta is brought to you by the letters M and F.

M is for Malfoy because this future!fic by cynthia_arrow has me thinking that a particularly nasty and villainous Slytherin might just make the hottest reformed-but-still-snarky bad boy evar. I've never really cared for Malfoy, in the books or films, and now I'm having the smutty type thoughts...

F for Faith because this vid by heresluck has been eating my brain with its amazing angsty and lush deliciousness for weeks now (plus it's to one of my favorite Tegan and Sara songs!).

I didn't like Faith at all at first when I started watching Buffy and now I luuuuuurve her. Just like I didn't like Starbuck at first, or Lex, or Sawyer, or Logan for that matter...or any of the other Obligatory Psychotic Jackasses (OPJs) that I seem to fall for eventually.

Which brings me to a pattern I have noticed over time regarding the characters I gravitate towards in my various fandoms. ( It goes something like this... )

Now my brain's all fuzzy. Now I kinda want to do a bigger J's Bad Girls and Boys of Fandom picspam... Well, here's hoping this meta has left you as thoroughly horny and conflicted as me :)

What about you guys? Any pathological fandom and/or attraction patterns you've noticed in yourselves?

I'm actually caught up on readings/teaching/tech-crap/work etc enough to justify the following extravagances:

• Spent 9 more hours on the current vid project this week and it is currently with my beloved beta awaiting her feedback. Yayyyyyyyy for productivity! BSG+FotC owns my brain ;)
  
• Posted the almighty crack!fic list which has more BSG crack than I ever knew existed (and more keeping popping up in the comments, w00t!)
• Went to see HP5 in 3D at the IMAX _again_ with the Mr. last night! Had more time to truly appreciate the ginormous prettiness of the set/production quality on the huge-ass screen. And to lust after Sirius in his pin-striped velvet jacket of awesomeness.
• Downloaded the entire VAST discography to get the albums I didn't already have (which I can upload some if anyone wants), as well as a bunch of study-friendly music like Royksopp and Telepopmusik
• Spent the last three hours having one extended fangasm over new and new-to-me vids in sooooo many fandoms. So I bring rec's for all!

In summary...favorite new-to-me vidder of the week: jarrow272 !  So much pretty (it takes a damn good vidder to make beautiful AND believable femmeslash vids), and he has excellent taste in teh hawt womens, and there are a lifetime of awesome vid recs on his website.

And favorite new-to-me author of the week: cynthia_arrow ! Seriously y'all, so much awesome slash and other writings to be had at her journal: CW RPS (oh the prettiness of the boys of SPN and SV, and because I can't swing Wincest but I'm all over J2, and Clex!), Weevil/Logan (why don't more people write awesome, realistic W/L?), the aforementioned Sam/Lee of WIN!, deliciously hot angst Kara/Anders (cuz I can't get enough of Sam lately), and Gaius math!crack. So much to love!

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.





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!!!
