28th-Nov-2009 11:24 pm - Smallville 9.09 Pandora
So, I could happily wipe out the seven intervening episodes, but I'm quite into both 9.01 'Savior' and 9.09 'Pandora'.

Vidder Ancasta
Musical Artist: 'Take Me The Way I Am' by Ingrid Michaelson
Vidder on LJ: [info]ancastar
Vidder's Website: Vids at Ancasta's Corner
Pairing: None
Why this vid kicks ass:
Because it’s by Ancasta, who can turn her hand to angst, drama, and light-hearted fluff in equal measure. I’m surprised none of her S&H vids have been recc’ed here already, so let me set that right with this toe-tapping, smiling-all-the-way intro to all that is good in the S&H fandom. It’s short, delightful, beautifully timed and edited to the beat and lyrics of this quirky little song, and even if you're not a fan you’ll be smiling by the end, I guarantee it.


The Way I Am

  • recessional: Plagues in your Postapocalypse: - Disease is a huge part of any landscape except maybe our own. Disease in a landscape that used to look like our own should be even more shocking. -

  • [info]thelana: The Genius Wranglers: A Rant - Personally, I think the appeal of those relationships has very little to do with people yearning for an old fashioned woman supporting superior (genius!) man dynamic or people getting stuck on some Oedipal trope. I think it comes more from the side effects of the trope. The typical Wrangler personality, especially of this chiding mother sorts means that they are being cast with motivations other than just looking for hotness. -

Vidder: Ishamaellives
Musical Artist: The Bloodhound Gang
Pairing: Sam/Gene
Vidder on LJ: [info]ishamaellives
Why this vid kicks arse:

A documentary *cough* on the mating habits of Sam and Gene and the rest of their pack CID summed up very appropriately in the song's lyrics: “You and me baby ain’t nothing but mammals, so let’s do it like they do on the discovery channel.”

Yes, it’s very cracky, a lot of fun and slashy as hell... What’s not to love? *g*

28th-Nov-2009 01:23 am - Mirror, Mirror by Sowell (NC17)
Fandom: NARUTO
Pairing: Naruto/Sasuke
Author on LJ: [info]sowell
Length: medium
Author website: Sowell @LJ
Why this should be read:

From the wonderful [info]sn_exchange SasuNaru Exchange Summer 2009, [info]sowell's Mirror, Mirror is delightful warning of being careful for what you wish for. Even when a powerful jutsu goes wrong, Naruto is finally able to fulfill his promise to Sakura and bring Sasuke home. Only problem, he's switched bodies with his former teammate.

Mirror, Mirror is everything about Naruto that makes you grin ... with a little yaoi thrown in to the mix. Enjoy!
28th-Nov-2009 03:30 pm - VID REC: TORCHWOOD - Sway
Vidder: Leggedxl
Musical artist: "Sway" by Dean Martin
Pairing: Jack/Ianto
Vidder on LJ: [info]leggedxl
Vidder's website: Master List
Why this vid kicks ass: This is one of the cleverest and funniest constructed reality songvids about Jack that I've seen. Imagine if Jack told someone in the future the tall-tale version of his time at Torchwood. That's pretty much what this vid shows us, and it's just as gay, over the top and hilarious as you'd expect. The look on Jack's face when he sees Ianto with the wedding dress. Hahahaha. Just perfect! And it gets better with every viewing. *hearts vid to bits*

Sway
Fandom: FIREFLY
Pairing: River/Jayne
Length: Medium (11 decent size chapters)
Author on LJ: [info]lady_cleo2001
Author Website: homepage

Why this must be read:

Because this story has it all. Romance, humor, adventure, a small helping of angst and really puts the romance on a believable scale. I really liked meeting Jayne's family. While setting down on Jayne’s home world things go from messed up to screwed up for Jayne, River and the crew of Serenity.

"There's always Jayne"

Never a Normal Relationship
Title: Meet Your Master.
Artist: Nine Inch Nails.
Rating: PG, at the most.
Character: The Master (John Simm).
Fandom: Doctor Who.
Spoilers: Series 3 Finale Arc.
Warnings: Slight slash inference. (The Doctor/The Master)
Summary: This was a simple character study of John Simm's Master.
Notes: Beta'd by the genius [info]theanonsisters and dedicated to [info]lastblazes. I'll be linking to an upload as soon as MU decides to cooperate. This is also my first attempt at different techniques in Vegas, so bear with me.

27th-Nov-2009 10:46 pm - VID REC: "Jim Dandy" (Gen)
Fandom: THE SENTINEL
Vidder: Sally
Musical artist: "Jim Dandy to the Rescue" by Black Oak Arkansas
Length: 2:44
Pairing: none
Vidder on LJ: unknown
Vidder's website: Sally's Sentinel Songvids
http://sseymour.net/index.html

Why this vid kicks ass: Jim kicks ass! Runaway horses! Slo-mo explosions!! Showers of breaking glass!!! Action sequences inter-cut with rescues of children! Of Blair!! Of innocent fish!!!

And speaking of kicking ass... there are many, many shots of Jim's fine butt! In action! Vaulting fences, in flying martial arts moves and swinging ever-so-slowly and hypnotically through the air in very, very tight khaki pants... oh yes!

Check it out - the first video on the page!

For Sanctuary fans who are not into incest fic, [info]triciabyrne1978 have started a comm focused on the female characters of Sanctuary.

If there's interest in a Dreamwidth mirror, please let us know. :)

Neither of us are judging people who are interested in Sanctuary incest fic, but, from what we've heard around the fandom, there's definitely a desire for a place where people won't run into that.

This entry has been cross-posted. Comments are welcome on either post.

27th-Nov-2009 03:44 pm - Beta Request.
Hello, everyone! I'm relatively new to the video-making community. I've done things previously, but never on the Sony Vegas scale. (I was a humble WMM newbie) But I've finally finished my first video that took about two days complete with coloring. The problem is, I feel like it needs more. So, I'm looking for a Beta to help me figure out what it needs, as well as concrit the work I've done. It would be most helpful if you were familiar with Doctor Who - especially the series 3 finale arc featuring John Simm. (As this video is all about his version of The Master)

You can either comment below, or PM me, and I will send you a download link and the details as soon as possible! Thank you so much in advance!

27th-Nov-2009 09:05 am - What You Guys Have Been Up To
Recently in FK on my LJ Friends List and DW Reading Page:

On the Air!
On 11/22, [info]abby82 alerted us to Chiller's exciting US Thanksgiving marathon events, in which Geraint Wyn Davies will host "his favorite episodes" of FK!  These air 11/24-11/25 and again 11/28-11/29!  And what are GWD's favorite episodes?  Season one: 5. Season two: 11. Season three: 0.  [I expected BM, which he directed, but I was surprised to see BMV on his list.  Interesting!]

In the News!
Cast and Crew!
  • On 11/23, [info]abby82 pointed out another new interview with GWD, this time on Chiller's blog.  Among other fun things, there's currently a bulletin-board graphic with the text of a Ribena label on it.
  • On 11/23, [info]abby82 let us know that Sci-Fi TV Zone has a twelve-minute audio interview with Geraint Wyn Davies, in which he talks about the Chiller marathon, his current one-man play in New York, and other fun, current things.
  • On 11/19, [info]pj1228 created a collage in honor of Nigel Bennett's birthday, and is running a contest for us: win the original collage file by naming all the non-FK roles shown.

Fanfiction!
  • On 11/25, [info]pj1228 announced that she has cleaned up "PJ's Forever Knight FanFiction Archive" after the move to Google Sites.  If you've re-linked since the move from GooglePages, the URL is still the same.  If, like me, you're still catching up...  [Note to self: Update links!]
  • On 11/15, Leela-cat announced that she has begun posting her long-unavailable-online old FK stories on her Archive Of Our Own account.  [She's right; she made me very happy. :-)] [Update: She has finished posting all her FK work, except one unfinished novel, and including "Broken Promises" -- last seen online in 1996.]
  • On 11/12, [info]pj1228 posted her well-conceived UF story "The Relapse," which I had the privilege of beta-reading.  Even if you're not inclined to the UF, she has a new approach to a specific canonical moment.
  • On 11/06, [info]gnosticdiva posted a piece called "The Letter," Nick to Natalie.
  • On 11/05, [info]elycia offered: "For every $5 you contribute to Fiver's Team (ALS Association of Georgia), I will write you 500 words of fiction, with the characters of your choice, on the topic of your choice," including in FK.
  • On 11/03, [info]ithildyn reposted her 1998 Lacroix story "In His Image."

Fests and Ficathons!
  • On 11/07, [info]abby82 noted that it was the last day of nominations for [info]festivids, a vid exchange inspired by Yuletide for small and rarely vidded fandoms.  FK is nominated.
  • On 11/03, [info]oldschoolfic opened sign-ups for the December event.  Assignments went out on 11/17.  [I got an FK prompt!]
  • On 11/02, [info]gen_ficathon posted their round one master list, including two FK stories previously mentioned here when they released.

Miscellaneous
  • On 11/08, [info]pj1228 discussed her FK site's issues with the GoogleSites move, and her FK projects in progress.
  • On 11/07, [info]abby82 detailed lowered prices for the FK DVDs at many retailers.
  • On 11/03, [info]gnosticdiva mused on her NaNoWriMo project, based on a long-ago unfinished FK fanfic.
