Slash Gathering June 06

I had THE BEST TIME yesterday.

I love my friends. I LOVE that our friendships have grown beyond that which brought us together over the years. I love the fact that we hang out, and talk about Life Stuff, and snuggle, and cook (well, not me, obviously).

But yesterday was all about our Mutual Love.

We watched many songvids, mostly brought by me (and hasn't my last couple of days been - focussed) so I got to pimp some of my favourites. Pimping is just so much fun.

silver_b_a then put on the pilot of Life On Mars, and the two? three? people in the room who hadn't yet been forcibly sat down and pimped to yet got to finally see it. To the accompaniment of 'That's Gene!' 'Gene rocks!' 'See how fabulous Gene is pushing people around and being a bastard?'

Sphinx brought along Big Wolf on Campus, which some of us liked, some wandered off to chat, or help organise dinner.

After dinner there was opening of presents by the birthday people. ravenclaw_harpy got the crappy 80's tv show War of the Worlds, which only me and her like, yet we insisted people watch some, so they could at least know what Colonel Ironhorse looks like. So, SO BAD. At least people got a laugh out of it.

And silver_b_a got Space: Above and Beyond. Which is a GOOD show. So, we watched the pilot episode, and cheered whenever McQueen came on the screen (what? I wasn't the only one!) and pimped the characters to the newbies "That's West. He's supposed to be all heroic and tortured. Forget him. He's whiny.' 'This is Hawkes. You WILL love him.' 'McQueen and Hawkes are looking at each other!!'


Fandom is good.

*proudly shows off songvids*

haunted_attics - I must have all of the Firefly vids!! And the Wesley Faith Angel ones!!!
Me - Um, I don't know where some of them came from, I'll upload them to YouSendIt for you.
Everyone - OMG NO!
Me - *cowers*
Someone - You will bring the WRATH OF VIDDERS down upon you!
Me - *is scared*
Someone else - Oh yes. It is Not Done. How could you not know this?
Me - I'm sorry.

So I've spent the morning looking for links. It's been tough *she says stoically* I have, of course, been much distracted. And have many new songvids.

Also, Dragonfly dragged me off to watch The Impossible Planet. I have SUCH LOVE for Dr Who. And for Ten/Rose. Not long ago I was whinging about how they should have more adventures NOT on Earth, because hello? NOT Jon Pertwee...

Impossible Planet is everything I love about the show. Humans in SPACE. Monsters. The Doctor turning up from nowhere. With the added bonus of Rose being all Take Charge and it being all about their devotion to each other.

Oh right, links to songvids.

That Simon/River one that is just mindblowing, it's called Post Blue

This is the fabulous f1renze
The Wesley, Faith, Angel one is Killing In The Name Of
The Angel/Wesley one is Darts Of Pleasure (its under the insane vidders project)
The Brian/Justin one that makes me so happy (over on her qaf page) I Think I Love You
Also check out Affirmation, an ensemble qaf piece that I couldn't fit on the disc I brought.

My FAVOURITE Atlantis vid, Welcome Home, is here.

Did I forget any?

hp vid

You know, I just assumed that most people acquire vids like I do, from communities and from recs, and just download heaps at a time, then get around to watching them whenever. (though this might be cos I tend to do this late at night after Dragonfly's asleep)

If I don't like it for whatever reason, bad editing or country music I don't like, I don't even watch to the end, I just trash it. If I like it enough to maybe watch it again, I file it away. If I LOVE it, I want to send feedback, so if the vidder has conveniently put their website, or email at the end, then I fb straightaway. If not I'll try and remember where I get it, or google etc. But if it's too hard, I lose interest and wander off.

Which is what happened with that HP vid 'The Distance'.* Turns out though, putting a bit of effort in sometimes works out. Who knew?
