Thanks to everyone who helped me find the right fandoms for this vid, and especially to therienne and aka_arduinna, who captured a ton of clips for me and helped me to pull it all together.

ETA: Here's a list of fandoms used in the vid.

Feedback very welcome!

Signups for attending memberships for Vividcon will open up next Sunday, February 18 at 1pm EST.

And for the first time, I'm signing up. Eee! Vividcon! Llamallamadingdong!

If you are wondering what I'm on about: Vividcon is a yearly con in Chicago in August that's devoted to vids and vidding. It is small, which is why you should sign up immediately after registration starts if you want to go, and also it is awesome. If I remember rightly, watching the vid DVD from Vividcon was the first time I ever saw vids on TV rather than in squintyvision on my PC, and I was just blown away.

I have uploaded my Vividcon vid. Wooo!

Galumping great thanks to elynross, halimede and both halves of flummery for beta-ing and to sockkpuppett for teaching me how to mess with motion settings and track mattes at the very last minute. You all rock.

Back to packing for holiday now.

How many pairs of trousers will I actually need in a place where it's 30 degrees Celsius?* You think more than three would be excessive? Hmm.


*(translation: hot.)

Run run run to Pythia's site, because she's posted new stories (new unless you're on the GoldApple list, that is) and a second part of her Herc/Buffy crossover.

I particularly recommend Gift of the Gods, which I've already read at least four times. I love it to bits. It's one of the rare stories where Hercules gets hurt and Iolaus dashes into danger to rescue him. Lots of action, derring-do and clever old hunter's tricks, excellent worldbuilding and characterisation plus a lovely dollop of angst: in short, this one has all the good things I've come to expect from Pythia's stories. I do have one small quibble with this one: I think it's not physically possible for Iolaus to carry Hercules for any length of time, especially uphill. Iolaus is strong, sure, but Hercules is a big guy (and the leather pants weigh twelve pounds, let's not forget that!). But that really is the only quibble, otherwise it's a wonderful story and I wish I could nominate it for the Iolausian Fan Fiction Award.

And then there's The Race, which is manic and funny and erudite and needs a longer rec than I can write at the moment. Go read.

At 13292 words and still behind. Am not allowed to watch my newly arrived Vividcon dvd's yet, but I cheated and watched one vid, the way a dieter will sneak one cookie. It was the ST:TOS vid 'Razzle-Dazzle', by killabeez and Tjonesy and hafital. I think I hurt something by laughing that hard. That final Spock moment finished me. Hope the rest of them are this good.
