I'm a vid addict lately. Vids of all types, shapes, and sizes intrigue me. I also keep finding a ton of gems on youtube, as crazy as that might sound. There are a lot of gems buried under the crappy stuff, and they have a unique flavor that must come from being primarily youtube-community as opposed to livejournal-community. There's more to that, but I'm sure it's already been meta'd all over the place.

So, vid rec! Er, again. You can probably expect a lot of these from me. I'm tip-toeing back into fandom it seems, and less as a creator, more as a fan.

Crazy In Love by sisabet and cappy.
Merlin, Merlin/Arthur.

Merlin as Beyonce, Arthur as Jay Z. Don't tell me you're shocked. If you need something to pick you up and dust you off after a long, dredge-filled day at work, or maybe you just got into a fight with your partner and you're wondering why you put up with him/her anymore... watch this video. For the first person, you'll relax and laugh. For the second, you'll realize that you don't put up with nearly as much as Merlin does and he still TOTALLY DIGS Arthur.

What really caught me up with this video was how unapologetically fun it was. I love to find that true joy in a video, where you can tell the vidder had a blast making it. There's also some creative syncing action going on there, where through actions or lip-service, the characters are the mouthpieces of the song. I adore that trick, because it brings a musical-esque quality to a video.

Watch, have fun, and don't be afraid to leave feedback, even if it's just a quick, "You're awesome!"... because it's true, isn't it?

After my last post, telynor posted a link to the lj post on the Facebook wall. Yay! Proactive interaction! This seems to be the best way for me to talk directly to these fen without actually getting a Facebook account. Which I'd rather not do.

So, if those of you with Facebook accounts and the time would post links to this, I'd really appreciate it.

TIA

Dear Spanish Fans:

First, I appreciate fansites. Thank you for your interest. But, could you please set it up so that it's clearly a fansite. As it is now, people think it's actually me and that makes me look bad when they expect interaction and I don't respond.

Second, if you are linking to free online downloads of my books, please stop. This isn't like lending your copy of a book to a friend, it's a copyright violation.

Thank you.
Tanya Huff

A Mis Fans Hispánicos Queridos:

Primero, me gustan fansites. Gracias para sus interéses. Podrían ustédes márquenlos "fansite", por favor? Otra vez, la gente piensa que yo esté ignorándoles cuando no respondo.

Además, favor de no ligar a los transferencias en linea de mis libros; esta no es prestar un libro a un amigo, es violación de los derechos de autor.


Gracias.
Tanya Huff

Time to rec a video that made me gasp, actually gasp, when certain visual cues fell into place. Epic work, spanning four seasons of Supernatural.

Rebellion (Lies, lies) by mithborien.
"I just know we're all we've got." Every time you close your eyes. (Sam/Dean)

The vidder says of it, "To me, this is a vid about Sam and Dean's relationship. I still don't know myself whether I consider it canon or fanon but it's certainly one way of looking at things."

I say, "It's a damned awesome way of looking at things. Great eye for scenes that look like they've fit together all along."

So just for the hell of it -- and because I was having trouble figuring out just what exactly Vicki was thinking when she... um, never mind, that would be telling -- I just googled myself.

Quel surprise: I'm on Facebook. In Spanish. Right here.

If this is a fansite, yay. I'm all for fansites.

The google quote however is: "Welcome to the official Facebook Page of Tanya Huff. Get exclusive content and interact with Tanya Huff right from Facebook."

NOT my official facebook page. Don't have one. Not getting one.
NOT a way to get exclusive content and interaction.

Just thought y'all ought to know. Spread the word.

Also, I hate the photo.

ETA from maribou: OTOH, they are also saying (as far as I can make out, and someone else's Spanish might be better), that if anyone wants to read one of your books online, they should post the title they are interested in on the "wall" page and then the person will post a link to that book. Which, unless you are offering your books free online and I just don't know about it, might be a very good reason to not like the person behind this.

Can anyone confirm this? Because this is something I'll have to stop.

This totally doesn't count as part of the porn ping-pong. It's not even enough to be a side-story, more of a side... drabble. Or drabble-and-a-half, I guess.

Either way, it's not my fault! XD

Looking forward to whatever porny goodness the evil bunnies end up leaving you with, katsuko. LOL!

"It's supposed to be a costume party." Andrew glared at Faith. "Turning up in street clothes, a stake in hand and announcing you're a Slayer, really isn't going to impress anyone."

"But it does get me out of looking like a tool."

"Have you thought about a costume where you're completely incognito?" Faith leaned against the wall, arms folded and raised a questioning eyebrow. "You could stalk people at the party without them knowing who you are."

Faith grinned. She could fondle sweet young things to her heart's content then disappear when she got bored. That suggestion had definite potential.
