In other delightful news, sundancekid has successfully seduced me into a love of Dr Who, both doctors nine and ten, so hit me with your recs! Favorite episodes, awesome fics, amazing vids--all of the above--I wants them!

Also, delurking amnesty!

Today has been declared lurker amnesty day! Have you read me but never commented? Do you surf by occasionally? Here for the vids? Say hello! You are under no obligation to ever comment or delurk again, but here's a chance to do so in a post just for that.

festivids video submitted!

*happy dancing and merriment*

You guys, I'm so excited! I haven't gotten my assignment yet (and I am most certainly NOT compulsively checking my email to see if it has magically shown up in the least two minutes...) but I'll have it by Friday at the latest.

In the meantime, I've been listening through my iPod and floating ideas for all eight of the fandoms/sources that I offered. I've got at three to nine song ideas for each fandom now!!!

This has been such an awesome mental exercise for me as a vidder. I normally listen to music with my mental-visual filter firmly in place for the fandoms I have vidded for/plan to vid for (BSG, SPN, Buffy-verse, SGA, and Dollhouse). It has been unexpectedly liberating AND exciting to float through all of my music with eight new fandoms in mind. I know I'll narrow it down to one fandom once I get my assignment, but now I'm really excited about all the possibilities for new vids. Particularly the ideas I've had for movie vids, because the source footage is short enough that I could make ALL of those vid bunnies if my energy/muse/time all balances out.

I'm just crazy excited to be this excited about vidding again. I've had a slump for the last couple of months where several bunnies have been bumping around in my head and none of them have quite had the urgency/juice to make it to a completed product.

festivids fucking rocks my muse so far!!!

ETA: I have my assignment and it is aaaaaaaawesome! *FLAIL*

I've been having a hard time watching TV synchronously with when it airs, so I feel like I've been missing out on a lot of the post-episode squee for several of my favorites. But! I have been watching stuff and keeping my eye on the flist.

( Stuff on my current TV watch list--Castle, sytycd, V, Glee, Bones, Supernatural and Dollhouse )

And in other upcoming exciting fandom news...I'm insanely stoked for festivids (like yuletide but for vids in small/under-represented fandoms instead of fic). I submitted a bunch of TV and movie recommendations that I would love to see anyone make vids of. And I'm excited to snag someone else's prompt myself. I've kind of needed a prompt/challenge to get my vidding juices going again, and this one looks delightful.

Other upcoming challenges that I will not be doing myself but am still insanely excited about: j2_everafter is back!!!



Oodles and oodles of delightful Disney-fied J2 awesomeness. This is the challenge that brought us such classics as Keepsake--omg best fucking fic EVARRRRR by indysaur, The Incredibles AU by ignited, and the cracktastically delightful Cinderella update by obsessed1 and juice817. Think of all the new gems to come!

I'm ALL for more sci-fi/fantasy/supernatural TV shows, believe me.

( But Vampire Diaries, really? )

All in all, I'm with sundancekid. I know everyone is riding the vampire-mania of Twilight in the entertainment industry, but how about some hot werewolves or hot zombies or something else.

Or really, I would just be happy with more supernatural romance stories/books/shows/movies where the sexy, dangerous supernatural character is the female protagonist and SHE has to figure out how to navigate her strength and sexuality around a mortal man (like Blood and Chocolate!!!).

I'm pretty good on scared/weak mortal girls and sexy/dangerous supernatural boys for right now ;)

My OT3 vid, Bonafied Lovin, is up for Most Humorous in the Driver Picks the Music - Viewers Choice Awards. Yayyyyyy!

Vote for me HERE!



And go check out all the other amazing stuff by other vidders that are up for awards!

OMG YOU GUYS, I made something that doesn't involve people in space or angsty demon/vampire hunters!!!

( Vidders notes )

Gorgeous new vids to rec y'all!

bop_radar just posted an AWESOME Gaius Baltar vid that really highlights both the humor and the evil of his ego-driven and schizophrenic character arc. Hip-hop vids ftw!

kiki_miserychic posted an AMAZING S4 VID to Handlebars by Flobots back in June that I am just now bonding with. It explores how power, need and duty corrupt both humans and cylons in season 4 through some absolutely brilliant lyrical interpretations and editing. This vid packed even more of a punch for me than flummery's much-lauded use of Handlebars for a DW vid.

dayln03 has a beautiful season 1 Veronica Mars character vid that is both warm/fuzzy and aaaaaangsty. Pure awesomeness.

( And a bit of vidding angst that you can feel free to skip... ETA: all better now! )

Offering myself up on Sweet Charity for the first time this year here.

*bats my eyelashes at the vidders on my flist* Wouldn't mind if some of YOU guys offered yourselves up for sale too so I could steal your brains bid for your skills.

( Details for bidding on me )

In OTHER pimping news, everyone on my flist interested in vidding should go over here and participate in some awesome vidding discussion with friendly local lj-ers.

I get so happy when VividCon vids start popping up on my flist. Such a happy-making time of year!

Be back in a few days with recs and recs of gorgeous vidding :)
