Firstly, YAYYY for Supernatural being renewed for season six!

And more importantly, OMG this vid is amazing and made of win. What a perfect celebration of fandom joy! I think deirdre_c has some of the best comic timing I've ever seen in vidding fandom. I fangirl her so hard <333333333

Many thanks to sdwolfpup for hosting a fanvid love meme, as a complement to the fanfiction love meme making the rounds.

My thread is here if you are overwhelmed with the compulsion to say nice things about my vids/vidding :D

Happy words making the festivid'ing go that much more smoothly!

So obsessive24 is pretty much a stellar vidder all the time. I basically watch everything regardless of whether I'm familiar with the source/fandom. Imagine the delight and squee when I saw a BSG vid by Nicky pop up on the flist. And true to my expectation, it both pleases and sparkles.

Go watch: Slow Down Ghandhi

It has obsessive24's trademark gorgeous editing and it covers some really awesome meta about the abuse of authority on BSG.

It's a very compelling POV to explore the show from, especially since the working class doesn't get much narrative privilege on the show and when it does it comes from problematic characters like Gaius, Gaeta and Zarek. From the vidder notes:

"The intended focus is twofold: (1) The ruling elite as a dynasty born into itself, dangling Earth in front of the workers as a means of maintaining power; (2) The ruling class forming an inexplicable alliance with the Cylons - at least it must seem inexplicable to the proles, who were never privy to the elevated personal dramas of the elite - and the hubristic expectation that the proles will simply accept this and fall into line."

So go watch and squee and leave appropriately drooling comments.

This is the kind of stuff that I LOOOOOVE in fandom. You can vote for your favorite characters in different comedy, drama, scifi and teen fandoms (and when you don't recognize fandoms/characters, you can just click a bunch of random buttons, woohoo!). Then the steel cage madness will ensue!



My girl Kara is hardcore pwning for BSG fandom. CJ Cregg and Josh Lyman are really close. Bret is beating my boy Jemaine by a mere handful of votes. Faith is getting whupped by Buffy and Spike. Logan and Weevil are both getting spanked by Veronica. And WHERE are the Sam girls? Dean is totally beating him right now?!?

I've been toying with the idea of uploading a mood theme for a while and I kinda really want one now. But there are so many! And I love so many fandoms!

Do I pick the Katee one or the J2 one because I love them the mostest, or do I not pick them because I already have more Kara and J2 icons than anything else? Do I pick the Zim one because he is AWESOME? Do I pick the SGA one because they are all so pretty and funny?!? Do I pick the Jane Austen one because I am a HUGE LIT NERD????

INDECISION!!!

dionusia is hosting a Lee week so go show some love for your favorite blue-eyed, big-armed, angstmuffin Adama. Anything goes: icons, picspams, meta, vids, rec lists, stories, macros, and bursts of song!

( Vid recs! )

( And some pics and fic and fun stuff! )

YOU GUYS. I am so ready to be done with vidding prep-work and be actually EDITING. I have spent the last full three days of my vacation making notes and clips (I'm totally making a wiki with all these notes when I'm done!). I just want to make a freakin vid already! I'm so close!!!

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

( Answers to the sooper-seekrit OTPs meme )

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.

( Jason's stubble kills fangirls dead )

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.
