I'm not exactly proud of this piece :P It was written in the late hours (now) after I've had a craaaaap week and am exhausted and just otherwise depleted. It hasn't been proofread because honestly my head is about to explode and I wouldn't force anyone to beta this thing for me :P

I'm posting it here only because I needed a place that would allow 1,500+ words that I could link back to the thread at Whedonland for the challenge for which this was written. So I apologize all my F-listers in advance! Don't feel obligated to read this...and if this is the first thing you read of mine...please don't judge me solely on this alone :P

THE BACKGROUND: No real background on this one, it came together pretty damn quickly and effortlessly (this is compared to the other vids for which I'm currently bashing my head against brick walls :P)

THE POINT: This is a simple vid that tried to capture a bit of what Stargate Universe is about. The sacrifice, the bonding, the fight for survival, etc. (It's a pretty awesome show so far, I highly recommend it if you liked BSG :P)

THE RED TAPE: I own nothing, including this banner [info]scifi_tv_addict
made for me, isn't it pretty? *pets* Also, can I just say that WMG (from YT) is a douchebag. A great, big, demented douchebag. Spoilers up to [1x05] "Light".

So all day I've been very happily plagued by two songs. One that is pretty much my own personal theme song in that it relates to me and the general RL public, the other is just...such a delight. I discovered this new favourite song through a Lassie VS. Shawn and Juliet Psych fanvid that just made me giggle, and I'd really like to vid it but I can't think of a pairing/group that would be as good as these guys to this :P

Any ideas on who I could vid THIS to? I wanted to embed but it's been disabled (sorry!) The song is "Don't Ask Me" by OKGo. I should mention that I'm trying to branch out from what I'm used to so I'd really appreciate non-SG-1 suggestions. Dollhouse, SGU, Warehouse 13, SGU, etc are totally cool though :)

Second song that's kept me giggling is one [info]scifi_tv_addict and I enjoy quite a bit, from the musical commentary of Dr. Horrible's Sing-A-Long Blog. There are a few voices in there but the singer is Nathan Fillion (aka, Capt. Hammer, Mal from Firefly/Serenity, ABC's "Castle")

Hey guys! Don't know how exactly I didn't realize to pimp this earlier but I chalk it up to...well being dense :P


Above is a banner-link to the 3rd Annual Holiday Fruitcake Exchange! For those who don't know what a Fruitcake is, you are considered a Fruitcake if you happen to ship Daniel Jackson and Vala Mal Doran from Stargate SG-1. So yeah, I'm a huge Fruitcake ^_~ And this exchange is a great way to remember those good old days if you've forgotten them.

How it works: Basically you sign up and give 3 prompts to be made into a gift for you (vid, fic, art, etc) and you will receive someone else's info with their prompts and you create and receive.

It's a win-win-win situation really:
Win #1= having a new piece of fancreation to post and be proud of.
Win #2= making someone's fan-Christmas with a dedication and a fancreation tailored to their likes.
Win #3= at the end, we all get to enjoy the new D/V work!

How can you not sign up now? ^_~

THE BACKGROUND: This vid was born from my immense desire to vid something from the band Within Temptation. I had my heart set on Angels or something more known but I went to bed one night, my mp3 on, and when Somewhere started playing this whole AU storyline jumped out at me and I had to get my papers out and start plotting even without the lyrics on hand. :P The next day/week I tried to see my vision through but I kept running into roadblocks, having to readjust the storyline, the plot's been massacred a few times over. And now here we are, probably something like a year (or very close to it) after I started the thing, it has finally grown into a full vid and I am quite happy to finally be posting it.

THE POINT: This is a complete AU where, after being burned alive in Avalon pt. 2, Daniel awakens back in his body on Earth but Vala is brought to Celestis. Despite the distance and the suffering, they never stop trying to find each other.

THE RED TAPE: I own nothing of the Stargate SG-1 series nor the song, just playing around with them. The banner you will see below was of course made by
[info]scifi_tv_addict who was also the one to bear the brunt of my whining, frustrations, and many tantrums over the course of this project. :P

I am happy to report that my LJ is now almost totally W13-friendly thanks to the header my friend [info]scifi_tv_addict  generously made for me! ^_^ I've tried to fiddle with the colours of the LJ as best as I can but I suck at all things artistic so...well you see the results :P

A few questions because I am dead-tired and on my way to bed but would loooooove to wake up to some suggestions:

1) Does anyone know the code/the way to get rid of the narrow strip of background above headers?

2) Does anyone know how to get rid of the navigation bar? (The part with "Recent Entries" etc) Or at least know a way to get rid of the spaces above/below it?

3) Anything else you'd like to comment on/suggest? If colours don't look good to you, fonts, etc. I'd love to hear about it (with a way to fix it, please!)



And with that, thank you and g'night! ^_^

Here's the second chapter, about twice as long as the first because of an element that just didn't want to be left out. :P

Summary: It may be a world of ceaseless wonders but that doesn’t make any of them invincible. A health scare prompts an unexpected dive into past and present issues.
Author's Notes: So this chapter was originally 3 pages and then I got an idea last night and tried to incorporate it into this chapter but it ended up being about 12 pages long :P Just means there’ll be an extra chapter, hope you guys don’t mind! Also, I’m dropping off, in total need for sleep-time but I wanted to post this tonight so please forgive the typos that are sure to be there!

This almost feels like over a year ago because I cannot get the plotbunnies to tone it down recently. :P Here is the latest result of them jumping all over the place (at 4 in the morning, of course ^_~).

As promised :D

THE BACKGROUND: I made this vid for a challenge at Whedonland (which I highly encourage you all to check out cuz it's massive fun!) The only requirements were that it was a ship vid and it had to be from any Whedon show. I chose Dom/Dewitt from Dollhouse cuz I love the repressed passion I see there ^_~ This wasn't the first challenge but I really don't like the vid I made for the last one. This time, however, I won first place so I feel this one might deserve to be shown to the public :P

THE POINT: This is a high-energy vid about the Dom/Dewitt "I want you" relationship they can never express due to their professionalism. *shippy glasses totally activated* ;)

THE RED-TAPE: I don't own anything, that would be FOX, Joss Whedon, Mariana's Trench, and anyone else that's not me :P And the kick-ass banner was of course made by
[info]scifi_tv_addict ! Thanks, Stef! ^_^  Spoilers for season 1 + Epitaph One only.

Spoilers for the FINALE of Warehouse 13!

So I finished watching the finale a few hours ago now (and I have to get up for uni classes in 3 hours) but since then I've started a new Team!vid for Warehouse 13 and have just published a fic about a post-MacPherson scene on FF.net. Grief makes me very creative apparently (recall: the Kara vid I popped out in a couple days after the BSG finale :P)

Title: The Important Moments Always Take Place In Diners
Author: Gab (milena-d)
Rating: PG-13/K+
Spoilers: Said it above but HUGE SPOILERS FOR THE FINALE!
Summary
: Set a few days after the finale, Mrs. Frederic has let one of her "assets" run away and now she's got to bring her home. Oneshot, completed.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, if I did there would be no such thing as a hiatus...

Author's Notes: Wrote this in about an hour after having watched the finale and instead of sleeping. I had no beta so I apologize in advance for any mistakes! I went over it myself but I'm pretty tired so... :P I hope you guys like it!

Hey everyone!

I just wanted to apologize to everyone who has reviewed my vids and/or fics in the last while and who hasn't gotten a response.  I appreciate every single one of your comments and will be replying shortly.  The start of school, my never-ending cold and vidding deadlines on Whedonland have kept me incredibly busy. :P

Hope you all are doing well!

THE BACKGROUND: This vid is the product of allowing[info]scifi_tv_addict  to convince me to enter a competition at Kawoosh. :P The theme was "Triangle Relationships" but sadly, I got too frustrated with my vid and missed the deadline (at this point by about a month I think.) 

THE POINT: This is a triangle vid exploring the effects of Cam's many affairs on Sam's psyche. *snort* It's crack, of course it's crack, you people should know me by now. ^_~

THE RED-TAPE: Spoilers for everything.  I own nothing, etc, blah blah, and[info]scifi_tv_addict made the cracky banner you see below! ^_^ Sorry for the iffy video quality, I couldn't fix it. :(

Hey F-listers and general public! 

Today I come bearing possibly the most curious and intriguing thing I've ever come across on LiveJournal.  It's a community for Whedon fans (creator of Buffy, Angel, Firely and Dollhouse) where the members apply to join one of four teams that compete with each other to earn points through various tasks (I am currenly completing the first with this pimp! :D).


Come over and take a look! 


And here is their FAQ/Rules post: CLICK ME!


~ Gab of the Browncoats (aka, Team Firefly!!)

And it's a collab with [info]scifi_tv_addict  so you know it can't suck! ^_~


THE BACKGROUND: Stef and I have been working on this vid for a few months now I guess (or rather, she worked, I procrastinated, and then we both worked).  It's just a song that...I mean when you hear it (and have an unhealthy obsession with BSG), the sparks just fly between it and the canon ending for the Agathons and the Galactica crew, the lead-up to the final showdown between the humans and cylons.  And yes, it's a canon-vid! :P Thought we'd branch out this time. ^_~

THE POINT: This vid (a collaboration with Stef) is about the events of the last four episodes of Battlestar Galactica as they affected the Agathon family, the Cylons, and the crew of the Galactica.

THE RED-TAPE: Spoilers for the last four episodes of Battlestar Galactica!  The awesome banner was of course made by [info]scifi_tv_addict .

The season (and possibly, series) finale of Joss Whedon's new show Dollhouse aired last night so I thought I'd pen down what I thought of the new (and, in my mind, exciting) series.

**SPOILERS AHEAD...not huge but still spoilers...semi-big***

So I'm finally somewhat settled in my new place, even the spiders came out to help *shudder* Thankfully they've retreated to wherever they hide :P  Amidst that settling, I've been watching a few movies I'd been meaning to, namely 17 Again and Bride Wars.  Here are my thoughts on both, which surprised even me :P
